Lucky football fan turns £1 into £16,000 after winning insane 19-LEG accumulator

A football fan has pulled off the bet of their life after banking £16,123.48 from just a £1 stake on a 19-leg accumulator.

The extraordinary win saw Sky Bet pay out the massive sum to a lucky customer, who has asked to remain anonymous.

The bettor kept it simple and opted to go for more than 2.5 goals in each of the 19 matches he selected for the monster accumulator.

A total of eight of the games reached the minimum three goal mark to just about count in their favour.

For a long time it looked as though the Brentford vs Burnley game would be the one to come up short.
