One lucky Irish punter made an already unforgettable week even more unbelievable during the international break, turning over a huge profit on his midweek Ladbrokes accumulator.

The unnamed Dublin customer would have more than likely had a hangover regardless after Martin O’Neill’s side earned an impossible result in Wales on Tuesday – though his hangover surely became much worse after he realised he’d won £8000 (€9000)!

Usually, landing a longlist accumulator bet is quite the challenge. Most punters can go an awful long time without a win aiming for six or seven teams to win, let alone 10+.

This lucky punter, however, correctly predicted all EIGHTEEN match results from every single one of the European World Cup qualifier matches between Monday 9th October and Tuesday 10th October 2017.

LadrokesBetWinner Staking just £4 (€4.50), this superb bet came in at gigantic 2000/1 odds. The standout picks from the 18-fold are almost certainly draw’s in Finland v Turkey and Luxembourg v Bulgaria at odds of 19/10 and 11/4 respectively, while his OWN team Republic of Ireland won at the second biggest price of 12/5.

Representing Ladbrokes PR team, Hayley O’Connor said: “This customer must have a crystal ball because just looking at all of those matches would make you dizzy – let alone predicting who will win every one of them,”

“Fair play to him. He got change from a fiver after placing the bet and now he’s collecting nearly nine thousand euros (£8000). Not bad for a mid-week wager!”

It’s safe to say that these winnings could take this punter all the way to the World Cup, should Ireland get the job done in the qualifying play-offs! Bravo to this punter – this is almost certainly one of the best footy accumulator bets of 2017!
