Punter Rakes in £189,000 From £10 18-Fold Accumulator

A punter collected a whopping £189,000 after a ridiculous 18-fold accumulator came in last night.

Putting a £10 bet on with Ladbrokes, the unnamed better correctly predicted both teams to score in 18 different games across various leagues - varying from the Premier League to the A-League.

West Ham's win over Watford, Huddersfield's victory over West Brom - a result that sealed Leeds' promotion back to the Premier League - and Boreham Wood's 2-1 triumph over Halifax Town were all on the slip, as was the nine-goal thriller between FC Midtjylland and FC Nordsjaelland over in Denmark.

But it was late drama elsewhere that scored the huge payout. Incredibly, the game between Gorodeja and Belshina in Belarus was goalless as the 95th minute approached before both found the net prior to the final whistle.

Then, in the Serie C promotion play-off between Bari and Carrarese, the hosts were leading 1-0 going into the 90th minute but the visitors struck and forced the game into extra time.

And it meant the better became £189,000 richer after placing one of the bets of the season.

Alex Apati from Ladbrokes commented: "We've never seen a bet quite like it. Lady Luck was shining down on our plucky punter on Friday evening.

"A trip to Belarus must surely be on the cards with the winnings!"

Here is the 18-fold slip in full:

West Ham v Watford - 20/23

Reggio Audace FC v Novara - 19/20

Bari v Carrarese - 4/5

Huddersfield v West Brom - EVS

Sydney FC v Wellington Phoenix - 4/6

KFC Komamo v Vasas SC - 1/2

SC Neusiedl 1919 v ASK Elektra - 2/7

SK St. Johann in Tirol v FC Kufstein - 4/11

FC Slutsk v Isloch - 3/4

Gorodeya v Belshina - 7/10

Boreham Wood v Halifax Town - 10/11

Albacete Balompie v Real Zaragoza - 5/6

Delfino Pescara 1936 v Frosinone - 5/6

Cittadella v Ascoli - 4/5

Crotone v Salernitana - 5/6

Empoli v Virtus Entella - 20/23

SC Pisa v Trapani Calcio - 3/4

Midtjylland v Nordsjaelland - 3/5

In other crazy betting news, one fan could be in line to receive £135.30 after he put £3.30 on Jesse Lingard failing to score or assist in the entire Premier League campaign.

If the England midfielder draws a blank in Manchester United's final two games, which looks rather likely, then Antony Johnson will have a tidy little sum in his account.
