Betfair punter turns £20 into over £2k after backing stunning Premier League 2-2 double | The Sun

BETFAIR took one hell of a beating this weekend.

A genius punter managed to win over £2,000 from a double involving the Sunday Premier League matches.

Sure, it wasn't as much as the £260,000 win on Saturday, paid out by the same bookie.

But it will hurt all the same, particularly as the bettor made it look so very easy.

With a handful of Premier League games on Sunday to choose from a European week, it could've been easy to make things difficult for yourself as someone looking for a wager.

Instead, this Betfair punter selected two correct scores in the Brighton vs Liverpool and West Ham vs Newcastle matches.

And the exact same score line was picked for both, a 2-2 draw.

Winning bet

113/1 double

West Ham vs Newcastle – Correct score 2-2
Birighton vs Liverpool – Correct score 2-2

Stake: £20

Returns: £2,280

Things looked promising on the south coast when a Mo Salah double overturned a Brighton lead in the second half.

Lewis Dunk then connected with a free kick with 12 minutes to go to earn the hosts a deserved point.

That left it all on the other game, which kicked off at the same time, and again with the hosts taking the lead.

This time, Newcastle came from behind – again from a double from their talisman – with Alexander Isak putting the away side in front.

And in an almost identical situation, Mohamed Kudus levelled for the home side. That strike coming a little later than Dunk's, coming in the 90th minute.

That saw a cool £2,280 in returns for the £20 double, at stunning odds of 113/1. It looks so simple, too….
