A Sky Bet customer has this week turned a £20 stake into a huge £5,300, cashing out on their nine-legged accumulator with just one leg yet to land.
The punter placed the spectacular nine-fold outright bet before a ball was even kicked, consisting of legs across qualification levels, stages of elimination, and the top goalscorer of the tournament.
But rather than letting it ride, they’ve opted to take an incredible £5,300 cash-out after eight of the nine legs had landed.

Just one selection remains outstanding – Kylian Mbappe to finish as the tournament’s top goalscorer, with the race for the Golden Boot set to go right down to the wire.
Had they resisted the temptation to cash out, the punter could have turned the bet into a staggering £9,792 payday, provided Mbappe secured the Golden Boot when the tournament concludes on Sunday evening.
The full nine-leg accumulator can be found below:
- Kylian Mbappe to be the top goalscorer @ 4.60
- England to reach the Semi-Finals @ 2.87
- Argentina to reach the Semi-Finals @ 3.33
- Spain to reach the Semi-Finals @ 2.34
- France to reach the Semi-Finals @ 2.50
- Curacao to be eliminated in the group stages @ 1.06
- Haiti to be eliminated in the group stages @ 1.11
- Qatar to be eliminated in the group stages @ 1.22
- Brazil to be the winners of Group C @ 1.30
One customer also struck gold by taking advantage of Sky Bet’s 120-minute Build-A-Bet player markets during England’s quarter-final victory over Norway, turning a £20 stake into an impressive £850 with a 42.5/1 bet.
Unlike traditional player markets that settle after 90 minutes, every leg of Sky Bet’s 120-minute Build-A-Bets includes extra time, giving customers more opportunities for their selections to land in knockout football.
That proved crucial, with the punter backing Jude Bellingham to score a brace and Julian Alvarez to score anytime, both including extra time, to secure a brilliant £850 return.
Sky Bet have now paid out £720,000 in bets that include a winning leg settled in extra time, with £430,000 on the England game on Saturday evening alone.
