And you thought Sunday afternoon was heart-in-mouth stuff. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/canny-punter-pockets-60000-10-10388944 Canny punter pockets £60,000 from £10 bet after predicting seven league winners The man from the Borders endured a nail-biting final weekend to claim his huge windfall. please log in to view this image Rafa Benitez raises the title trophy for Newcastle to help complete the seven-fold bet (Photo: Getty) A canny Scottish punter has pocketed £60,000 from a £10 bet after predicting seven league winners. The Ladbrokes customer’s stunning seven-fold accumulator was placed way back before the start of the season. As well as picking the winners of every Scottish league – Celtic, Hibs , Livingston and Arbroath – he also selected the teams that won the Championship, League One and League Two in England. The man, who is in his 50s and from the Borders, does not wish to be named. But he would have had his heart in his mouth at the weekend as he needed Newcastle to pip Brighton to top spot in the Championship and for Portsmouth to claim an unlikely triumph in League Two in order to complete his bet. And it went right down to the wire with Jack Grealish's 89th-minute equaliser for Aston Villa against Brighton ensuring that Newcastle pipped the Albion to the league title. In addition, there was a chaotic end to the League Two season as both Doncaster and Plymouth Argyle looked to have clinched the title, only for Portsmouth to nick it at the death. The lucky punter won £60,734.38 from his £10 bet Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Hindsight has paid off big time here for this customer for such a small outlay. However he should have followed the advice of that betting expert Albert's Chip Shop and put an insurance bet on Brighton to win the title on Saturday”
Jak you really are missing the point. It's not about skillfully picking the correct predictions to win big, oh no. It's all about the insurance so that in the case of your team failing you can still seek solace in the knowledge that it only cost you £300 worth of insurance spread bets against your team, to 'win' back £50 worth of commiseration beer funds. Far more satisfying than winning a stupid £60k.
Indeed..... but don't go beelin' on me. This childish and infantile behaviour we have on this board of the dead need to improve.....

I normally back the favourite, then all thr other horses as insurance. Bet you spunked £20k to win £2k like I do. It's the taking part that matters...
Was just going to ask that. My Grandad used to win every day on the horses. Well when he said win it meant one of the horses he backed in the race had won. He didnt seem to realise his winnings and more had been spent on the other two or more horses he had backed in the same race.
