Finally, a ludicrous football accumulator story with a happy ending.
We realise that whenever we give you a football accumulator story with the Simpsons screenshot treatment, it usually ends in tears.
How cruel! How close! Oh man, he really deserves something for such a ballsy bet. Unfortunately, nearly never won the race, nor was it ever the final bet in a huge accumulator.
Apologies if you know of any horses, greyhounds or indeed, humans called ‘Nearly’ who you’ve actually won money betting on. That would be news to us.

Well, be prepared to replace that sympathy you usually harbour for punters with a healthy dollop of good old fashioned begrudgery.
This fucker got lucky. This fucker didn’t expect this long shot to come off. This fucker… well, he’s a fucker, but a lucky fucker nonetheless.
All three games were high-scoring affairs with Crawley and Carlisle sharing the spoils of a 3-3 draw, Hibernian falling victim to an 86th minute own goal to lose 3-2 to Aberdeen and Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur securing them a spot in the FA Cup final.
Of course, all six teams scored in both halves… fucker!
