Irish punter bags €21,000 in sensational 15-fold acca that started with 90th minute Luke Shaw booking at Chelsea
THAT feeling when you see a winning bet and think: ‘How?’
Well that exact feeling will be what many of us will experience when seeing this HUGE winner from Ireland, with a plucky Betfair punter bagging themselves just over €20,000!
Particularly when you see the opening selection of the gigantic 15-FOLD came on Saturday night in the Chelsea vs Manchester United clash.
That’s because it wasn’t any usual pick from this game that kicked things off. Instead, it was a Luke Shaw YELLOW CARD pick that got the ball rolling.
This €50 stake looked dead and buried at the first hurdle.
That before United’s left back let his temper and ongoing duel with César Azpilicueta get the better of him, with a kick out at the Chelsea captain earning him a yellow.
Remarkably, that came in the 90TH MINUTE of the contest, which served as a good omen.
Amongst other selections that carried into Sunday, the punter had Harry Kane to score or assist against Newcastle and both teams to score between Southampton and Arsenal.

There was also Over 2.5 Goals between Leeds and Fulham, Over 1.5 in Betis vs Atletico Madrid and Bodo/Glimt to score 2+ in their game in Norway.
With Sunday games across Europe kicking off at different times, it was a long wait across the continent for all the selections to drop.
Amongst the latest was in the Villarreal vs Almeria game, with just Over 1.5 goals needed.
The visitors took a surprise lead after half an hour, which suited the bettor.
And the home side equalised after the break to secure a sensational payout.
