Determined Fleetwood Punter Collects over £45K from Will Hill after £5 Accumulator Bet Wins
Kyle Jordan a Fleetwood football fan had staked £5 on an accumulator bet. He wagered on a long shot multiple predictions of both team to score and win as outcomes of six Premier League matches. Watching the match was a rollercoaster ride for Jordan, a worker at an oil and gas company. Yet it was definitely an incredible betting experience, as his selections came out as winners and scorers, bringing him £45,865 as return on his £5 accumulator bet.
Jordan placed the wager Friday night before the weekend match went underway. His full selection of teams to win and both to score was as follows:
1) A Liverpool win over Aston Villa with both teams scoring
2) Reading to overpower Burnley with both teams scoring
3) Bury to prevail over Coventry and both teams scoring
4) Cardiff to best Charlton and both teams scoring
5) Sheffield United to trample on Doncaster with both teams scoring,
6) Everton winning in the match against West Bromwich, with both teams scoring
Those who saw the football action last Saturday could easily imagine how the oil and gas worker from Fleetwood felt, while witnessing Everton trailing 2-0 against West Brom in the final match. The 30-year old Jordan was almost ready to cash out and settle for the £4,196 guaranteed return before the match was over. That made the victory even sweeter because he resisted the temptation and let the bet ride, still keeping faith that Everton will make a comeback and eventually emerge as the victor.
As the turn of events has it, the decision paid off because the Toffees were able to do just that by winning the match 3-2. Thanks to Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone, as they scored goals that inspired the Toffees to push through for a victory.
Joe Crilly, a spokesperson at William Hill recalled that it was an exciting night at the Will Hill Towers as well. They were also watching the game whilst tracking the progress of Kyle Jordan’s incredible wager. Accumulator bets for both teams to score and win predictions have accordingly picked up as popular betting choice during the recent past months. The odds are inflated in contrast to the odds for the straight match options.
As demonstrated by Jordan’s £5 bet, and the incredible £45,865 return he gained from it, such bets result to significant winnings from just a minimal bet amount. Actually, bookmakers took a toll from the “both team scores” wagered last weekend, as eight out of the 10 Premier League matches saw high scoring teams.
Kyle Jordan, who is a Manchester United fan, said that after seeing Everton go down at 2-0, he was almost tempted to cash out with the guaranteed 838-1 return of £4,196. He is quite glad he resisted the temptation, because the 9,172-1 return was a better outcome for his big plans. Jordan said he intends to spend some of his winning on a holiday trip in the U.S. with his partner and their children.
