Someone in Monaghan is very very happy this morning after bagging nearly a quarter of a million from a €1 bet. One bloody euro!
The Paddy Power customer placed a ten-fold accumulator over the weekend on the win-draw-win both teams to score market, at odds of 245,669/1. And of course it all came down to an injury time goal from Marseille's Michy Batsuayi last night to settle it.
I'm not jealous, not jealous at all.
A spokesman for the bookmaker said this morning:
As the odds would suggest it isn’t easy to correctly predict the outcome of ten games and this can only be described as weapons grade punting. He may have left us scraping the barrel but we can only congratulate the lucky punter, he’s certainly set for Christmas.
Here's that all important betting slip.
