One Sky Bet punter is enjoying the international break more than most after his 11-fold accumulator for Saturday's domestic football won him over £21,000 from just a £5 stake.
The customer, Stuart from Warrington, kept his acca simple with 11 'win only' selections consisting of nine matches from the Sky Bet Football League and two from non-league.
However, it was far from plain sailing as it required four late winning goals to bring the bet home - none later than Newport's dramatic 98th-minute strike courtesy of Antoine Semenyo against Stevenage.
Until that moment, Stuart perhaps felt Burton's 91st-minute goal against Bristol Rovers, Coventry's 82nd-minute winner against Wycombe and Solihull Moors' effort in the 82nd minute of their clash with Ebbsfleet were all in vain - but he'll be mightily glad they pushed for all three points now.
Here's the bet:
- Solihull Moors 2-1 Ebbsfleet United
- Dagenham and Redbridge 1-2 Wrexham
- Newport County 2-1 Stevenage
- Scunthorpe 0-2 Peterborough
- Exeter 2-0 Swindon
- Cambridge 0-1 MK Dons
- Gillingham 0-2 Southend
- Coventry 1-0 Wycombe
- Burton 1-0 Bristol Rovers
- Accrington 3-1 Bradford
- AFC Wimbledon 1-2 Portsmouth
Stake: £5.00
Returns: £21,481.80

Sky Bet also report that seven customers in total had bets of £10 or less which paid out more than £10k, the highlight arguably being that aforementioned £5 11-fold acca at 4,295/1.
However there was another punter who scooped £13k from a £5 five-fold on Portsmouth, Fleetwood, Colchester, Newport County and Boreham Wood each to win and BTTS.
Meanwhile the Sporting Life Acca successfully landed on Saturday's Sky Bet EFL games - with Lincoln, Southend and MK Dons all winning in our 11/1 selection - our second win in four weeks.
