The selections were all a match result with both teams to score, meaning they needed seven results to land their way and all 14 teams in the acca to score.

Scotland’s third and fourth tier seems a BTTS haven at the minute and this mystery bettor took advantage of that, with East Kilbride, The Spartans, Stranraer and Edinburgh City – 7-3 winners on the day – all obliging.

In England it was all about the second tier, with high flying Swansea City selected alongside Birmingham City who were away from home.

That leaves Middlesbrough vs Norwich, with the home side backed to cap off a once-in-a-lifetime bet.

The selection looked home and hosed at the break as Norwich opened the scoring inside the first minute before three Boro goals turned the game around at half time.

The visitors then scored two goals in five minutes with a quarter of an hour to play to level the game before Ashley Phillip’s injury time goal secured the three points.

And this £52,979 win.

Robert Carr, Head of Trading at Sky Bet, said: “That’s some accumulator to land. Seven selections, a £10 stake turning into almost £53,000 – fair play to the customer!

“There were goals flying in across the selections, with 38 in total, so I’m sure it was an entertaining afternoon to watch unfold.

“Middlesbrough’s late winner against Norwich could have made for a particularly nervy finish, but every selection came through to land a huge return.”
