It was a Sunday to remember for one Sky Bet punter as they celebrated their successful 2136/1 outright bet coming in.
The customer correctly predicted the winners of each of the top five leagues of English football, returning £10,802.96 from their £5 each-way stake.
The bet:
- Premier League winner - Manchester City at 8/13
- Championship winner - Leicester at 7/2
- League One winner - Portsmouth at 11/1
- League Two winner - Stockport at 6/1
- National League winner - Chesterfield at 5/2
Odds of 2136.15/1 - £5 each-way returned £10,802.96

Chesterfield were in a league of their own as the first winning selection, with Paul Cook's side securing the National League title as early as March 23.
That led to a near month of waiting for the next, and like buses, two came along at once with Portsmouth and Stockport winning their respective leagues on the same day.
And then it was the turn of Leicester, who came out on top of a thrilling three horse race in the Sky Bet Championship. Enzo Maresca's men would gain 98 points on their way to an immediate top-flight return.
It meant the bet would go down to the very last day of the season, with Manchester City knowing they could win a fourth Premier League title in a row with a win over West Ham.
Anything less would have let the whole bet down, meaning they would have to settle for a payout closer to £100 on the each-way placings, but Pep Guardiola's men made no mistake with a 3-1 victory.
