Sky Bet punter backs Leicester for the Premier League and Wales to win Euro 2016
Wednesday 6 July 2016 06:45, UK
One Sky Bet punter has backed Wales to win Euro 2016 at 150/1, having also put money on Leicester to win the Premier League at 5,000/1.
Chris Coleman's men are now just 8/1 to lift the trophy ahead of Wednesday's semi-final clash with Portugal, having been available at 150/1 before they qualified for their first ever European Championship finals.
The punter has backed both upsets to occur, with a Wales triumph resulting in a £2,084 payout to go with their £13,333 winnings from the Foxes' success.
Sky Bet's Sandro Di Michele said: "It was by pure chance that one of our trading team stumbled upon this remarkable punter, who has only had a few small accumulators other than a few outrageous outright bets.
"We're fearing another significant payout if Wales triumph in France, but we can only say hats off to this customer if they've predicted two of the greatest sporting upsets."
To make the story even more unfathomable, this punter has only ever made four ante-post outright bets, with one being Gent to win the Champions League at 1,000/1, which also inspired historic success as the Belgian outfit made the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
The good news for Liverpool fans is that the other open bet is for Jurgen Klopp's men to win the Premier League next season, albeit at far more modest odds of 9/1.
