Another extraordinary night of betting on the Champions League sees punters win big on Betfair thanks to late drama...
- Betfair punter lands 600/1 treble and lands £4k
- Bettor's super 7-fold as Man City held
A Betfair punter won just under £4k after backing a 600/1 Champions League treble with a fiver on Tuesday.
It was another remarkable night of football which also saw a bettor win more than £2k with a smart seven-fold.
Rudiger to the rescue
Falling one bet short of landing a lucractive acca is frustrating and, with Real Madrid trailing Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 going into added time, that's what looked set to happen for one bettor.
They had placed bets on the Half-time/Full-time markets across three of the evening's matches but, with the outcomes of Celtic v RB Leipzig and PSG v Benfica both correctly called, they were set to lose on the defending champions trip to Poland.
Real Madrid trailed 1-0 to Shakhtar before Antonio Rudiger, who liked a long shot during his time at Chelsea, came up from the back and bravely headed in the equaliser on 95 minutes.
Cue relief for Carlo Ancelotti and delerium for out bettor who, having placed £5.93, scooped winnings of £3,915.25.
The Madrid match also featured in our other big story of the night.
Super seven-fold as City held
Defenders were on top on Tuesday with under 2.5 goals landing in all eight games.
Plenty of bettors saw it coming, including in Copenhagen where Man City were unexpectedly held 0-0, in part due to Sergio Gomez being sent off and Riyad Mahrez missing a penalty. Mind you, City still qualified for the knockout stages and are 2.9215/8 favourites to win the Champions League.
In a stunning piece of unders betting a bettor landed a super seven-fold, staking £10.41 and winnng more than £2,100.
