Late drama in Czech Republic lands punter £20,000 from sweet 16 Ladbrokes acca

Late drama in Prague turned £50 into a staggering £20k for one plucky Ladbrokes punter on Sunday.

One anonymous customer correctly predicted the outcome of no less than SIXTEEN football matches across Europe this weekend, to the cool tune of £20,222.52.

But the bet looked to be off late on Sunday afternoon when Sparta Prague went down to 10 men in just the FOURTH MINUTE after Lukas Sadilek saw red for a last-man foul, before the visitors, Teplice, took the lead through Mohamed Yassser Nour, 12 minutes into the game.

However, a late equaliser from Qazim Laci kept the bet alive in the 72nd minute, before Victor Olatunji scrambled in a 90th-minute winner for the hosts – much to the delight of the Ladbrokes punter.

Remarkably, 10 of the 16 teams kept clean sheets in their respective victories, while 10 sides won by two goals or more.

Alex Apati, of Ladbrokes, said: “Czech this out…late drama in Prague has left one plucky punter a whopping £20k better off. Sparta aside, the majority of this monster acca came in with relative ease, with no less than 10 of our customer’s picks winning without conceding and just as many picks winning by two goals or more. Sensational stuff!”

He added: “With Christmas around the corner, we can only assume the customer in question will be treating themselves to a Sparta shirt with Victor Olatunji’s name on the back!”
