As the thrilling match with Germany unfolded, a fortunate bettor had already started celebrating after a staggering £1,039,554 win on Sunday, courtesy of a strategically-placed £11.50 six-fold accumulator. Betfair .
The anonymous bettor, excited before Tuesday’s match, shared his hopes for a triumphant English performance with a prediction of a 2-1 win, which, luckily for him, wasn’t needed in his accumulator since the final score read 2-0!
He compiled his accumulator with a mixture of prior Euro2020 games and various golf tournaments, achieving victory with the odds listed below:
- Croatia to beat Scotland 7-5
- England to beat the Czech Republic 11-20
- Steve Stricker securing the title at Bridgestone Senior Players Championship with odds of 5-1
- Nelly Korda clinching the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at 14-1
- Viktor Hovland emerging victorious in the BMW International Open with 13-2 odds
- Harris English triumphing at Travellers Championship at an impressive 35-1
This phenomenal bet came with odds of 90,396-1. After the first five picks hit the mark, the intense conclusion of the Travellers Championship on Sunday kept the bettor on edge. Victory came through a nerve-racking 20-foot birdie on the eighth hole of a play-off match, eliciting a relieved ‘I almost had a heart attack with that winner!’
The daunting odds of landing all six wagers might seem high, but compared to the National Lottery where hitting the Lotto jackpot is a staggering 45 million to one, this seems quite favorable.
Already making plans, the jubilant winner intends to take a break from work and travel with his partner. He also dreams of playing golf with friends in the USA, specifically at the famous TPC Sawgrass.
