$20,880.00 Win from Magical 4,176x Soccer Accumulator

I have covered sports betting on stake.com for several years, and this winning ticket is up there with the best of them.

The odds look a little off for this to be a pre-match bet, so my feeling is that this wager was placed while the matches were in-play. Both the Inter and PSG matches kicked off at the same time, with the Barca game starting 15 minutes later. This makes it more likely to be a live bet.

Whenever the bet was placed, it’s still an amazing ticket. The customer put down $5.00 and because it’s an accumulator, the total odds were 4,176x. No doubt, there was a mighty cheer when the full-time whistle blew in Celta Vigo, as the bettor collected $20,880.00.

Inter Milan got a comfortable 2 - 0 win against Lazio with a goal in each half, thanks to Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan Bonny. This result kept Inter at the top of Serie A while Lazio dropped to 9th. At odds of 6.00 (European decimal), it was the most likely of the three selections to win.

The drama came in the Lyon vs PSG game. After 50 minutes, it was evenly poised at 2 - 2, with goals from Warren Zaire-Emery (26’), Afonso Moreira (30’), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (33’) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (50’). 

It appeared to be heading for a draw as the clock passed 90 minutes. Then, Nicolas Tagliafico was sent off for Lyon in the 93rd minute, and Joao Neves grabbed a last-gasp winner (90+5’) to snatch the win for PSG and, more importantly, keep the accumulator ticket alive.

Eyes turned to Celta Vigo vs Barcelona, which had about 10 minutes plus additional time to play. A hat-trick goal for Robert Lewandowski in the 73rd minute made the score 4 - 2 to Barca. The hope was now no more goals would go in, and they didn’t, leading to the final green tick on this bettor’s 4,176x soccer accumulator ticket.

Accumulators, also called multis, are one of the most popular bet types because the potential payouts multiply as more selections are added to the bet slip.
