One punter dropped an astonishing €62,000 after Everton beat West Brom

Probably kicking themselves

Everton fans will probably be going bonkers with delight after coming from behind to beat West Brom 3-2.

But we know for a fact there’s at least one guy out there who’s in a whole other level of rapture.

The mystery punter landed £46,000 (€62,000 approx) off a £5 six-game accumulator, according to this screen shot of a betting slip posted online.

Whoever it is must have had some real bottle after seeing five of the six games come in over the weekend including Liverpool’s victory over Aston Villa.

William Hill was waving a cool £4,000 cash-in sum around, but this steely chancer stuck to their guns after putting Everton on to beat West Brom on Monday night, with both teams to score.

We can’t even imagine what this guy must have been going through as Romelu Lukaku bagged his second and put Everton 3-2 up. We imagine William Hill’s cat got a shoeing tonight though.

Well played, sir.
