What are the highest odds you’ve ever won on a sports bet? Have you bet on the rank outsider in a game of soccer? Maybe you were one of the lucky few who bet on Ruiz Jr. to beat Joshua or Bivol to get the better of Canelo.
For most bettors, their biggest wins have come as accumulator bets, and in one recent case, it turned a bet of SGD 15 into a monster payout of SGD 838.67.
The Bet
Here’s a quick rundown of the bet that took our spotlight last week:
- Stake = SGD 15
- Odds = 55.91
- Winnings = SGD 838.67
- Bet = 8-Fold Accumulator
Many chosen selections were considered favorites. However, there were still some excellent picks among them, including some potential stumbling blocks that ultimately fell in the bettor’s favor.
Here’s a closer look at the bets:
Rayo Vallecano to Beat Elche CF (1.68) in La Liga
Although Rayo Vallecano got the win here, it was far from an easy one, and it was very close to being a loss.
Elche took the lead, and while Vallecano pulled one back shortly after, the game was still 1-1 deep into stoppage time. It took a 95th-minute winner to get this accumulator off to a good start.
Udinese to Beat Hellas Verona (2.20) in Serie A
Another stoppage-time winner helped to keep things going. This game had the highest odds in this bet, and if not for a 93rd-minute goal to make it 1-2, it would have failed.
Leicester City to Beat Nottingham Forest (1.72) in the Premier League
Leicester City and Nottingham Forest have had a lousy start to the Premier League season. Not surprisingly, both of them sit at the bottom of the table. Many were backing a draw, expecting points to split as two struggling teams failed to get over the line. But our bettor had other ideas while backing the home team.
Leicester eventually ran out as 4-0 winners, so it proved to be a good call. The match wasn’t even close to a draw.
SE Palmeiras Goals Handicap (-0/0.5) VS Botafogo RJ (1.73) in Serie A
As a handicap bet, there was room to maneuver here, but it came good. There were some tense moments, including Botafogo taking the lead after 20 minutes and Palmeiras going down to 10 men after 69 minutes. Fortunately for our bettor, Palmeiras got the points in the end with a 3-1 win.
AFC Ajax U19 to Beat SSC Napoli U19 (1.43) in the UEFA Youth League
Despite going down to 10 men in the first half, Ajax’s U19s had this one in the bag early on and claimed an impressive 5-1 win.
Sporting CP U19 to Beat Olympique de Marseille U19 (1.73) in the UEFA Youth League
There were a lot of red cards for teams selected by our bettor, seemingly all to go against his bet. There was another red card in this match, but it didn’t cause any problems. Sporting CP took a massive 6-0 victory and claimed all the points.
Liverpool U19 to Beat Glasgow Rangers U19 (1.37) in the UEFA Youth League
The Reds have some incredible talents in their youth team, and they strutted their stuff for all to see during this game, walking away with a big 4-1 win and keeping this bet alive.
Atletico Madrid U19 Double Chance VS Club Brugge U19 (1.50) in the UEFA Youth League
In the final game of this epic accumulator, the bettor needed Atletico Madrid to win or draw. He probably breathed a sigh of relief when the Spanish team took a 3-0 lead, only for things to get nervy when there was another red card.
Thankfully, Club Brugge could only pull back a single goal and eventually lost a player of their own.
