While English supporters were glued to Tuesday's thrilling 2-0 win over Germany in the Euro2020 Round of 16, a fortunate bettor was already celebrating after landing a staggering £1,039,554 from a £11.50 six-fold accumulator the prior Sunday. Betfair .
Preferring to stay out of the spotlight, the lucky gambler commented before the England match, 'If England manages to conquer Germany, it will be the cherry on top of my celebration. I foresee England breaking the mold and securing a 2-1 victory'. However, he smartly left this match out of the accumulator since it concluded 2-0!
His accumulator included prior Euro2020 games along with golf events. Here's the triumphant bet selection and respective odds:
- Croatia to beat Scotland 7-5
- England to beat the Czech Republic 11-20
- Steve Stricker backing for the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship at 5-1.
- Nelly Korda in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship scoring 14-1.
- Predicting Viktor Hovland to clinch the BMW International Open at 13-2.
- Forecasting Harris English's success at the Travellers Championship with 35-1 odds.
Facing odds stacked at a mind-boggling 90,396-1, once his five bets hit the mark, the dramatic finish of the Travellers Championship on Sunday stirred some nerves for him. Harris English's win only came after a tense 20-foot birdie at the eighth hole play-off against fellow competitor Kramer Hickok. The bettor exclaimed 'My heart almost gave out when that putt sank; it was unbelievable!'.
Despite the daunting odds of nailing all six predictions, they still seemed friendlier when compared to the National Lottery's staggering 45 million to one chances for the Lotto jackpot.
The ecstatic winner is eagerly planning to make the most out of his monumental win, revealing 'I'm considering taking a few months off work to globetrot with my partner. I'm also a golf enthusiast, so a trip to the USA with friends to tackle the TPC Sawgrass sounds like a perfect plan'.
