£5 into £55,000? Crack open the champagne...

£5 bet on eight football matches sees one customer win £55,000! Next time it could be you...

Christmas may be almost a fortnight away but for one Betfair customer the celebrations have already begun.

In yet another example of why it pays to bet on Betfair, the lucky punter, who staked £5 on eight weekend football mathes, is now £55,000 better off.

He scoured the European football markets to put together a Multiple of eight wonder bets at combined odds of around 11,000/1.

The wager included Newcastle's 3-1 demolition of Liverpool as well as results from across Europe. The biggest price landed was the final one, as the Dutch Eredivisie draw between Roda JC and ADO Den Haag came in at around [3.7].

The story is a reminder of the drama of betting, one which leaves our £55,000 customer with shorter fingernails and a significantly healthier bank balance. The win has certainly come at the right time of year and the lucky punter and his family are now looking forward to a Christmas to remember.

Remember, next time it could be you...
