A Grimsby based Manchester United fan was celebrating this weekend and not just because his side managed to maintain their 100% record in the Premier League but because he won over £100,000 from an £8 bet with William Hill. The mystery man, who wishes to remain anonymous, selected 12 sides to win on his football accumulator and all duly obliged. The 37 year old punter who regularly has an accumulator at the weekend, had never hit the jackpot until Saturday and scooped £101,647.97 when Leeds, Crawley, Hearts, Tranmere, Hull, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday, Morecambe, Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Gillingham and Sheffield Utd all won.

It is incredibly difficult to pick even one winner, so to have 12 sides all come in is quite a feat and one that was priced at over 12,700/1, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. With a haul of over £100,000, he could spend the rest of the season following United home and away.

His 22 team selection contained no games from the UK but included matches from France, Ireland, Italy and Norway.

Mystery Man Defies Odds Of 25,000/1 To Scoop Early Christmas Present

December 14, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Accumulators, Besiktas, Bursaspor, Christmas Present, Club Brugge, Early Christmas, Fb, Fenerbahce, Football Accumulator, Germinal Beerschot, Getafe, Joe Crilly, Lech Poznan, Mystery Man, Sibenik, South American Football, Sporting Gijon, Waregem, Widzew Lodz, William Hill, Winter Blues

A William Hill punter from Swindon has scooped a massive £26,993.96 from just £1. The mystery punter placed an unlikely 20-fold football accumulator online and included teams from all over Europe in his selections. 19 of the games were winners whilst the other game was a postponed game between Lech Poznan and Widzew Lodz.

The punter has overcome odds of over 25000/1 and has taken Hills to the cleaners. His usual bets are football accumulators from around the world including English, European and South American football.

Anyone who has done an accumulator will know that it is tough enough predicting five teams to win, let alone 20. We are sure that the winter blues will be banished by this bumper payout, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill: Devons Biggest Ever Football Payout Sparks Massive Gamble On England

June 28, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, Algeria, Bet, Confidence, Devon, Eastern Europe, Fb, Holland, Joe Crilly, Michael Dawson, Mystery Man, Punter, Punters, Slovakia, Spokesman, Stake, Tiverton, Wesley Sneijder, William Hill, Winning Streak, World Cup

A mystery punter from Eastern Europe has won over £50,000 on a World Cup winning streak at William Hill in Tiverton. This makes him Hills biggest ever football winner in Devon. Having staked £3770 on Michael Dawson to score first in Englands dour 0-0 draw with Algeria at 25/1, the mystery man claimed back his stake due to Dawson not playing. He promptly placed the whole £3770 on Wesley Sneijder to score first for Holland against Japan at 6/1 and Paraguay to beat Slovakia at 10/11 – both at the weekend. This won the man £50,380.91. He then proceeded to reinvest £11,000 of this on England to win against Slovenia winning him a further £4,440 taking his winning streak to well over £50,000. We believe the man, who wishes to remain anonymous, was holidaying in Devon, as he made arrangements to pick up the bet in London.

Unlike a lot of our punters, this mystery man certainly had the confidence to back England. It will be interesting to see how long his streak continues and we will be keeping a close eye on the situation over the coming weeks, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
