Football punter wins £9,400 from £25 stake on Betfair

They backed BTTS in 13 matches and all were winners

Second Big Winner in as many weeks is strong start to 2026
A Betfair football punter was celebrating after they scored winnings of £9,400 by staking £25 on a 13-fold BTTS acca.
On a weekend of drama and upsets, the magic of the FA Cup was well and truly alive for the bettor who backed both teams to score in four third round ties as well as in matches in Italy, Scotland and Spain.
FA Cup, El Clasico and Scott McTominay come good for bettor
The fixtures were spread across the weekend so, after seeing each leg come good on Saturday, they had to sit tight and wait for Sunday's. Fortunately, the goals continued to flow.
And the big win wasn't just about the big teams. While, Tottenham v Aston Villa, Man Utd v Brighton and a thrilling Spanish Super Cup final Clasico all did the business for our punter, the same was also true of Ayr v Airdrieonians in the Scottish Championship and Aldershot v Solihull Moors in the English National League.
The big game in Italy's Serie - Inter Milan v Napoli - was also in the acca. It ended 2-2 and Scott McTominay struck twice for the champions.
Will 2026 be year of Big Winners on Betfair?
The weekend'a £9,400 win was the second Big Winner we've reported in 2026 and the year is less than a fortnight old. That bodes well and we hope to have many more to tell you about in the coming weeks.
Opportunities come thick and fast, with more FA Cup football tonight, as well as EFL Cup semi-final action starting tomorrow.
And of course, the betting is not limited to football. This week sees the return of top class golf, with the first events of the year on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. Read in-depth betting previews of The Sony Open and Dubai Invitational.
