Wonder was he out there starting the riot? :grin:

From bettingzone.co.uk

1545: A lucky Betfred punter is more than £13,000 richer for just a £20 stake after landing an 18-team accumulator on last night’s Europa League football matches.

But the client from Kent was set to lose the bet until the match between Dinamo Bucharest and Liberec was abandoned two minutes from full time due to serious crowd trouble!

Dinamo, who had been a 19th leg of the bet, were losing 2-0 at the time of the abandonment. If that match had been completed the customer would have won nothing, but as bets on the game were declared void he instead collected £13,312.69.

Betfred spokesman Jon Wilde said: “We wouldn’t go so far as to say the customer predicted a riot, but you could have forgiven our football traders if a few chairs had been thrown around the office last night as a result of this bet being landed.

“It’s a fantastic effort to call 18 matches out of 18 correctly, even if all bar one of them were odds-on. The punter clearly couldn’t quite believe it either – he felt the need to contact our customer services department today to make sure his account balance was correct and we hadn’t made a mistake!”
