Listen to Football...Only Bettor Champions League final preview
How's your summer looking? With the Champions League final this Saturday before preparation for the World Cup goes into overdrive, football punters have plenty of opportunties to bet on big games.
One punter will has a lot invested in both competitions and is two legs away from completing a five-fold acca that would scoop £105K from a £20 stake.
They backed tthe Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl at 13/27.50 (check), Aston Villa for Europa League glory at 7/24.50 (check) and Crystal Palace to go all the way in the Europa Conference League at 10/34.33 (check).
So that's three legs won and two to go.
Acca punter needs Gunners to win Champions League final...
Now this fairytale arrives at what should be its most exciting chapter yet when Arsenal take on PSG in Saturday's Champions League final.
When they put together the five-fold earlier this year, the bettor backed Arsenal to win European club football's biggest prize for the first time in their history. Can they get the job done?
Arsenal were 7/24.50 when the bettor backed them and they are now 11/10 on the Betfair Sportsbook to lift the trophy and complete a Premier League and Champions League double.
But defending champions PSG are the favourities at 8/11 to win the competition and become only the second club to retain the title in the Champions League era. A tense night is in store.
If Arsenal are victorious then the acca crosses the Atlantic with the chance to win the £105K at the biggest football show on earth.
And Les Bleus to win the World Cup
France have played in the last two World Cup finals and, if our acca punter is to complete his five-fold, Les Bleus need to complete the hat-trick and win.
France are 5/16.00 to be champions of the world, although our bettor got them when they were 7/18.00, again this summer. Only Spain are a shorter price than Kylian Mbappe and co. so this could turn out to be a winning bet.
Whatever happens, completing three legs of five-fold outright acca is an impessive feat.
It could yet turn out to be the most shrewdly spent £20 of 2026.
Will punter be tempted by Betfair Cashout?
It would only be normal for our customer to be feeling a little bit nervous as the hours tick down to Saturday's Champions League final, so will they be tempted by Betfair's latest cashout offer?
The cashout value of £3,277.47 was confidently rejected before Palace went on to lift the Europa Conference League trophy on Wednesday night and the cashout offer now stands at £5,022.32.
That's the equivalent of having a £20 winning bet at 250/1251.00 when the actual odds for the three successful legs so far are just shy of 150/1151.00!
Whatever the Betfair customer decides to do we wish them all the very best and congratulate them on a thrilling, long-term antepost acca.
