The favourites were winning in both the Champions League and domestic competitions on Tuesday night and that made for huge winners on Betfair with one punter making more than £12,000 from a tiny 94p wager!

"94p doesn't get you much these days, unless you're Charles Lumsdon that is, in which case it gets you a whopping £12,171 (and 13p)."

It was a memorable night for many of you last night as a whole heap of favourites landed, meaning massive payouts often from just pennies. Here's a couple that caught our eye on twitter.

94p doesn't get you much these days, unless you're Charles Lumsdon that is, in which case it gets you a whopping £12,171 (and 13p).

A full card of football was all it took for Chelsea fan @Lumo_5 to construct a 16-fold that would set him up very nicely indeed for the Cheltenham Festival. Let's take a look at his sweet sixteen choices:

Man City v BARCELONA @ 19/20
JUVENTUS v Dortmund @19/20
BRENTFORD v Blackpool @ 4/9
WATFORD v Rotherham @13/20
Wigan v CARDIFF @23/10
Millwall v SHEFF WED @29/20
DERBY v Charlton @4/9
WOLVES v Fulham @10/11
IPSWICH v Birmingham @ 3/4
PRESTON v Walsall @ 3/4
Rochdale v SHEFF UTD @5/4
PORTSMOUTH v Tranmere @1/1
BRISTOL ROVERS v Braintree @ 11/20
GRIMSBY v Telford @ 1/3
TORQUAY v Lincoln - VOID
GATESHEAD v Kidderminster @ 5/4

Captain Hindsight says, "it seems so obvious!"

And it wasn't just @Lumo_5 taking us to the cleaners last night, it seems everybody was getting involved.

"£10k from £50? 'Wow' is an understatement @stringmaker4"

It seems our Traders were determined to make it a profitable night for everybody by offering an enhanced double of Juventus and Barcelona to win at 16/5, although Messi's appalling injury time diving header debacle meant the Aguero/Messi to score enhancement at 9/2 failed to land. Small mercies.

And it looks like more of the same this evening with another strong card of football and an enhanced Arsenal + Bayer Leverkusen double available at 4/1 for a limited time only.

As well as our usual enhanced prices don't forget to opt-in to our Arsenal v Monaco #MBX offer where you select your own refund trigger, or if you fancy emulating our pal Charles Lumsdon with a monster acca you can get both Match Odds and Both Teams to Score insurance in case one leg lets you down.

Good luck!

This is Play.
