Betting Stories: Punter scoops £98,000 on outrageous Super Sunday Bet Builders
Usually, seeing your team collect three points is enough to satisfy the soul during the weekend. West Ham fans have become accustomed to that feeling this season; the Hammers lie 4th in the table after 10 games having lost just twice in the top-flight so far.
Alongside this, the east London outfit are also top of their Europa League qualifying group after winning all three of their opening games. Life is good at the London Stadium right now.
On Sunday, David Moyes’ side stretched their winning run in the Premier League to three games after dismantling an Aston Villa side who looked second best throughout the whole encounter.

With 80 minutes played at Villa Park, hope of the bet was beginning to diminish with neither player carded. Then, the punter’s dream unfolded. Both players were involved in a bust-up following a hearty challenge and were shown a yellow card by Chris Kavanagh in one fell swoop.
Not only did this land the 33/1 single and pocket the bet365 customer another £850, but on top of that it also landed the gargantuan Bet Builder double he’d also placed on all four of the players receiving a card - returning an astonishing £94,350!
Sensational punting, coupled with an invaluable three points away from home. If Carlsberg did Sunday’s...
