This incredibly gutsy accumulator earned one football fan a big Christmas payday

Tom Victor

It’s one thing to have predicted some of this weekend’s unlikely Premier League results, but it’s another to have trusted your gut and put money on the line.

But it’s paid off for one punter, who has pocketed a cool £10,000 for some Nostradamus-like predictions.

Coral shared this bet – a fourfold result and both-teams-to-score accumulator – which helped a lucky individual turn five pounds into five figures.

Including backing Manchester United to suffer their first home defeat of the season and Everton to lose for the first time since October, it goes beyond bold.

If you can’t quite make it out – here’s what was backed (winning teams in caps):

Everton v LEICESTER and both teams to score (final score 2-3)

Manchester United v NORWICH and both teams to score (final score 1-2)

Stoke v CRYSTAL PALACE and both teams to score (final score 1-2)

West Bromwich Albion v BOURNEMOUTH and both teams to score (final score 1-2)

Daniels

We think the winner might be buying Bournemouth’s Charlie Daniels a present with some of the takings, after the left-back’s 87th-minute penalty earned the Cherries all three points at the death.
