Two Sky Bet punters win big from small stakes on Monday night


Sky Bet were hit hard by two small-staking punters on Monday night, one of whom turned £2 into over £77,000.

The customer in question placed a six-fold on Sky Bet's 'match result and both teams to score' market, electing for the 'yes' option in every game bar one - Everton's 1-0 victory over Newcastle.

That proved an inspired move as Nurnberg, Empoli, Genoa, Lokeren and Levanta all won while conceding, whereas Everton edged to three points and a clean sheet at Goodison Park.

In total, the punter collected £77,421.09 for their six-fold accumulator, with Everton (11/4) the shortest price and Levante (10/1) the biggest.

Also on Monday, another customer won £53,627.77 when their £5 nine-fold came in.

This time, the market in question was 'both teams to score, no draw', at prices ranging from 6/4 to 5/2.
