The winning slip
William Hill – Football – Correct Score 90 Minutes
- Inter Milan 3-3 Barcelona – 12/1
- PSG 2-1 Arsenal – 15/2
- Bodo/Glimt 1-2 Tottenham – 8/1
- Manchester United 4-1 Athletic Bilbao – 35/1
- Chelsea 6-0 Djurgarden – 25/1
- Fiorentina 2-1 Real Betis – 8/1
£1 Win Trebles = £11,938.50
The bettor predicted six full-time scores in total, placing a bet that backed all available trebles.
Four of those six predictions were correct, landing four winning trebles out of a possible 20.
Alongside the repeat 3-3 result between Inter and Barca, the bettor also got PSG 2-1 Arsenal, Manchester United 4-1 Athletic Bilbao, and Fiorentina 2-1 Real Betis exactly right.
Two predictions fell short – Bodo/Glimt 1-2 Tottenham and Chelsea 6-0 Djurgarden – but it didn’t stop the payout from soaring.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “One of our punters managed to correctly predict four correct full-time scores from the six semi-finals in this week’s European competitions.
“Predicting a repeat of Inter 3-3 Barca after 90 minutes was impressive enough, but to correctly PSG 2-1 Arsenal, Manchester United 4-1 Athletic Bilbao, and Fiorentina 2-1 Real Betis on top of that was simply unbelievable.
“If Chelsea had put five more past Djurgarden and Bodo/Glimt had managed a consolation goal against Tottenham, we could have been looking at one of our biggest football payouts in history!
“Nonetheless, the punter will no doubt be happy to have landed four out of a possible 20 trebles, turning their £20 stake into just shy of £12k.”
