One lucky football punter who decided to remain anonymous has beaten one of the top online bookmakers Ladbrokes with what seems to be the best sports wager of the season.

The punter backed the selection of European football fixtures on various markets ranging from live to Correct Score selections. Putting them all together, the bettor had himself a cool 8-folder with a total stake of £4.29 and the total cumulative odds of 174,850.65 (1746723000000/9989857)!!! The incredible wager was supposed to pocket the punter a life-changing sum of more than three-quarters of a million pounds, £750,109.29 to be exact.

Unfortunately, the punter was not able to scoop the entire sum but that does not make this story less epic. It all kicked off with a live Correct Score selection for the highly-anticipated Premier League Manchester Derby where the bettor backed The Red Devils to hand The Citizens their first defeat after a long winning streak. The bettor did not stop there and also backed Chelsea to beat Everton with the exact score of 2:0, however, with a pre-match selection this time.

The road to the desired payout was quite a bumpy one with a couple of late miracles that kept the accumulator alive a few times. While the lucky sports bettor has been sweating during the Athletic Bilbao vs Granada & Sampdoria vs Cagliari matchups, which ended up with 91st- & 96th-minute miracles, little he knew that the biggest nerve-racking experience was still ahead of him. It was all for the Inter Milan vs Atalanta game, to decide the fate of the incredible football accumulator. Having landed 7 of his 8 selections at that time, the punter opted-in for the Cash Out option and took home a hefty £56,532.52 payout. 

Later it appeared to be one of the best decisions of his life since Inter failed to net another one to match the 2:0 Correct Score selection.

Please, take a look at the entire betslip down below:

• *live* Man United to win 2-0 v Man City - 13.00 (12/1)
• *live* Under 0.5 goals in Arminia Bielefeld v Union Berlin - 7.5 (13/2)

Congratulations to the lucky punter!
