Punter lost out on outrageous £33k acca after one last minute goal changed everything
Just the one goal cost them a huge sum of money.
One unlucky punter missed out on over £33,000 from a huge six-fold accumulator - due to a last-minute goal.
Twitter user @RPBCFC6 placed a £10 bet at odds of 3338.6/1 on the outcomes of six different competitions at the beginning of the 2024/25 season.
He successfully predicted Liverpool to win the Premier League, Tottenham to win the Europa League and Chelsea to win the Conference League.
He also bet on Doncaster to finish in the top three of League Two, with Grant McCann's side going on to win the title.

Birmingham to win League One was the fifth bet, which landed the punter an early tick as the Blues were mathematically confirmed as third tier champions all the way back in April.
But the sixth outcome let him down in devastating fashion.
He predicted Scott Parker's Burnley to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt and win the Championship this season.
But despite scooping an incredible 100 points, the Clarets lost out on goal difference to Leeds.
Not only that, Burnley were set to be champions as both games approached injury time on the final day.
But with Leeds drawing 1-1 away at already-relegated Plymouth, Manor Solomon scored in the 91st minute to spark wild celebrations at Home Park and secure the title for Daniel Farke's side.
That meant the punter's accumulator fell down well before the European trophies were contested, but he checked back on Monday to find that all his selections had won.
In the replies, another punter revealed that he had missed out on nearly £3,000 because of the exact same outcome.
He had bet on Falkirk to win the Scottish Championship, Morecambe to finish bottom of League Two, Birmingham to win League One and Southampton to finish bottom of the Premier League - all of which came in.
There was at least one person who profited big from one of the three promoted Championship clubs.
A punter backed Sunderland's Tommy Watson to score the third goal and receive a yellow card (presumably for taking his shirt off) during the play-off final against Sheffield United.
Watson scored what turned out to be the winning goal to make it 2-1, took his shirt off, and the punter won £1,630 from a £5 stake.
