Bromley Man Strikes It Lucky For Second Time!

A Kent man in his fifties was celebrating for the second time in less than a year after beating odds of almost 2000/1 to scoop a massive £38,033.24 from his local William Hill shop in Bromley. It was not the first time that this customer has won big in recent times, having had a 12 fold accumulator late last year that paid out £27,000.

This time around the punter, who wishes to remain anonymous, selected 15 sides from various leagues and competitions around Europe in a £20 football accumulator. Among his selections were sides from the Europa and Champions League, the Dutch second division and the Polish Premier League. Despite having a seemingly varied knowledge of football on the continent, Arsenal (8/15 to defeat Newcastle), Chelsea (to defeat Napoli at 4/6) and Manchester City (2/9 to defeat Sporting Lisbon) were all in his coupon.

“Usually I would have said that this was a once in a lifetime bet but this guy has knocked us for six twice in a year, he is the new guru,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

“Other customers are asking us what he is betting on so they can follow him,” said staff in the shop.

Winning Selections:

Udinese to beat AZ Alkmaar 5/6

Chelsea to beat Napoli 4/6

Hannover to beat Standard 8/13

Wrexham to beat Ebbsfleet 8/13

Inter to beat Marseille 10/11

Polonia to beat Jagiellonia 1/2

Trabzonspor to beat Sivasspor 8/11

St Pauli to beat Karlsruhe 1/3

Bastia to beat Lens 11/8

Combuur Leeuwarden to beat AGOVV 1/4

Velez to beat Olimpio Bahia Blanca 4/9

Arsenal to beat Newcastle 8/15

Bayern Munich to beat Basel 1/5

Man City to beat Sporting Lisbon 2/9

Kharkiv to beat Olimpiakos 11/4
