Fan Wins over £45K on £5 Accumulator Bet Thanks to Everton Victory

West Brom's Monday evening clash with Everton was a roller-coaster affair—but it was particularly tense for one fan with more than £45,000 on the line.

As the match at the Hawthorns progressed, a betting slip circulated on social media showing a punter who had placed £5 on a six-game accumulator. They needed Everton to win and both teams to score for a major payday, which looked unlikely when West Brom went 2-0 up.

However, Everton's unexpected comeback to take three points meant the betting slip was worth £45,865.05.

Let's hope his owner didn't cash it in for less than 10 per cent of that figure.
