A British football punter turns 2 GBP into 32,000 GBP after correctly predicting winners in an accumulator bet.
This man now certainly can thank the British gambling laws which let the British online sportsbooks grow into betting powerhouses that while competing among themselves, created dozens of different ways to bet.
One of these is an accumulator bet, which allows the wagers to multiply themselves by placing a series of correct bets on the winners of such games as football matches. One punter, just recently, placed an accumulator bet on a series of matches involving English Premier League, Italian Serie A, Bundesliga, and others leagues. Some of teams on which bets were placed included Man City, Chelsea, AC Milan, Juventus, and Arsenal.
After correctly predicting the winners of the matches, the punter turned 2 GBP ($3) into 32,000 GBP ($50,000). That’s multiplying the original bet by 16,000!
Winnings such as this one are one of the best ways to promote online sportsbooks in UK. The win couldn’t be a better way to attract new punters now, especially as the Euro 2012 Football Championships are quickly approaching.
Many of the quality online sportsbooks offer live betting during the games, where odds quickly change, as well as mobile betting options. Moreover, the coverage of sports is wide and offers ways to bet on most sports such as horse racing, motor sports, athletics, cricket, rugby, and so on. The list of options is, in effect, quite large.
