Sky Bet punter wins £10k off 25p Football League bet

One lucky Sky Bet punter was left celebrating after landing an audacious accumulator on Tuesday night, having turned 25p into over £10,000.
The Birmingham fan placed a bet on both teams to score in both halves of four games in League 1 and League 2 with the Football League sponsor.
Sheffield United's 4-2 defeat was the first result home in the multiple thanks to Dean Hammond's 65th-minute consolation strike for the hosts, with Carlisle's comeback from 3-1 down to beat Luton 4-3 next to deliver.
The bet was one goal away from winning just two minutes after Hammond's effort as Morecambe salvaged a consolation in their 4-2 defeat to Cambridge, leaving Sam Winnall's strike in Barnsley's 3-2 defeat at Peterborough to land the 42,756/1 accumulator with 13 minutes to spare.
Sky Bet's Sandro Di Michele said: "It's great to see a customer have an ambitious bet like this and for it come off, especially in the Sky Bet Football League. I'm sure their Christmas will be one to remember."
