Bryan Mbeumo’s equaliser for Manchester United against Arsenal has sealed a 24-leg £10 accumulator, landing one Betfair customer a £3,334 payout.
Mbeumo could not believe his luck as he cashed in on a sloppy back-pass from Martin Zubimendi to level Sunday’s game at 1-1.
It also enabled the plucky punter to cash in after the final whistle, having correctly predicted that there would be over 1.5 goals in each of 24 Premier League and Football League games played over the weekend.
Late Show At Stevenage
The profitable acca wasn’t all down to Mbeumo’s heroics during Manchester United’s 3-2 win at the Emirates.
There was a close call during Saturday’s League One clash between Stevenage and Mansfield.
A penalty on 78 minutes from Mansfield’s Lucas Akins had appeared to give the visitors the win as the game approached full-time.
Chem Campbell’s angled strike seven minutes into stoppage time secured a 1-1 draw and kept the 1.5 goals-per-game acca alive and kicking.
Last-Minute Limbs
Sam Rosbottom of Betfair saluted the win.
“Chem Campbell’s 96th-minute equaliser for Stevenage may have secured his side a point, but for one Betfair customer it was worth a lot more than that.
“If there were scenes in the home end with that last-gasp goal, imagine the reaction of a punter watching it help to land a huge 24-fold winner.
“Nobody likes a low-scoring game, but predicting at least two goals in 24 Premier League and EFL matches is no mean feat
“It’s made them more than £3,000 richer. Top effort.”
NFL Acca Lands £174K Win
It was an impressive haul for a weekend’s work but does not come close to matching the biggest win on Betfair through 2026 so far.
That came in the first week of the year with the end of the regular NFL season.
One Betfair customer built a season acca around predicting seven divisional winners in the AFC and NFC.
They staked a total of £114 across 63 permutated NFL accumulators and scooped £174,000 after calling six winners correctly.
Great Scott Seals £9,400 Acca
Another Betfair Nostradamus selected 13 football matches across Europe and compiled a both teams to score (BTTS) acca over the first weekend of the year.
From an original stake of £25, the Betfair customer was £9,400 better off by late Sunday evening.
Selecting BTTS when betting is one of the most popular accas in football.
The punter chose a wide-range of games from the FA Cup, the English National League and Scotland’s Championship.
Having seen those 11 games all come good, their final two selections were European specials taking place on the Sunday evening.
First up was the Spanish Super Cup final between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Jeddah, which produced a 3-2 win for Barca.
The final game was Napoli’s visit to top-of-the-table Inter Milan.
Inter raced into a 1-0 lead through Federico Dimarco on nine minutes.
That left Antonio Conte’s Napoli needing to find the net to complete the 13-fold acca.
Super Scott McTominay’s double completed the £9,400 win with a close-range finish just before the half hour and was to score again in a 2-2 draw.
