Lucky punter wins over €20,000 from very simple accumulator

Finally, a ludicrous football accumulator story with a happy ending.

We realise that whenever we give you a football accumulator story with the Simpsons screenshot treatment, it usually ends in tears. How cruel! How close! Oh man, he really deserves something for such a ballsy bet. Unfortunately, nearly never won the race, nor was it ever the final bet in a huge accumulator. Apologies if you know of any horses, greyhounds or indeed, humans called 'Nearly' who you've actually won money betting on. That would be news to us. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/850821061407068161 Well, be prepared to replace that sympathy you usually harbour for punters with a healthy dollop of good old fashioned begrudgery. This fucker got lucky. This fucker didn't expect this long shot to come off. This fucker... well, he's a fucker, but a lucky fucker nonetheless. All three games were high-scoring affairs with Crawley and Carlisle sharing the spoils of a 3-3 draw, Hibernian falling victim to an 86th minute own goal to lose 3-2 to Aberdeen and Chelsea's 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur securing them a spot in the FA Cup final. Of course, all six teams scored in both halves... fucker! https://twitter.com/LewisElli0t/status/855818712255004672
