Betting Stories: Punter scoops just under £4,500 on dramatic BTTS & Win four-fold
There was late drama in the EFL last night, as Swansea's dubious last-minute penalty scooped one lucky punter £4,379 on a stunning BTTS & Win four-fold.
The Sky Bet customer staked £10 on the 436/1 longshot, which included victories for Rotherham, Bournemouth, Roma and Swansea - with each of those winning sides needing to concede at least one goal.
Bizarrely, each game ended in a 2-1 victory for the away side, which in turn landed this fortunate bettor a huge sum of money; not bad for a evening's work.
But it wasn't smooth sailing; far from it in fact. Heading into the final stages this bet looked as good as over, with Roma the only winning selection. Bournemouth were level with Bristol City at Ashton Gate, and both Rotherham and Swansea were drawing 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke respectively.
When Cameron Carter-Vickers found the net for the Cherries in the 88th minute, though, there was suddenly a glimmer of hope. Then, as luck would have it, Rotherham grabbed a 97th (!) minute winner through Freddie Lapado and just like that, the bet was officially revived.
With Swansea's clash against Stoke kicking off 30 minutes later, all that was required was a late winner from the Welsh outfit as both teams had found the net in the first half at the bet365 Stadium. But, as the game ticked closer to its conclusion, it looked out of reach.
That was until Kyle Naughton threw himself on the floor in the penalty area and won a spot-kick for his side in the 96th minute, pure chaos! Tom Daley would have been proud of that one. Andre Ayew duly obliged from 12 yards and won the game for Swansea, landing a bet that looked dead as a dodo just minutes before.
It's a funny old game.
