One punter landed a €16, 15-team football accumulator yesterday, netting €651,000

This is how it is done

There was a feast of football on yesterday and with lots of free time on people's hands we're sure that there were quite a few accumulator bets placed in shops all over the world. A few will have come in, a lot will have gone down but for one gambler, yesterday was the greatest day of their punting lives. As the final minutes of the late Premier League kick-off ticked down, Coral began to tweet that they were in a very deep hole if Arsenal beat QPR.

One punter from the South is waiting on an Arsenal win for a £510k return on a £13 15-fold! #bookiebashing — Coral (@Coral) December 26, 2014

The bookies' hopes were raised when Arsenal went down to ten men, followed by a Charlie Austin goal...

Just to confirm, one punter from the South is just 3 mins + stoppage time away from winning £510k off a £13 15-team acca! — Coral (@Coral) December 26, 2014

But Arsenal hung on and the bet came in. Here are the 15 teams that did the business

THE 15-fold: Chelsea, Swansea, Spurs, Man Utd, Hull, Stoke, Saints, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Bournemouth, Derby, Norwich, Boro, Ipswich — Coral (@Coral) December 26, 2014

Most of the teams ended up with handy wins but calling away wins for Stoke and Hull were particularly brave punts by the mystery gambler. Whoever they are, we salute them...
