what would you do if this happened...?
An unlucky punter from Inverness in Scotland must have been left screaming at the TV on Tuesday night as he fell just short of turning £25 into a fortune with a treble bet.
The unnamed punter put a correct score treble on Tottenham to beat Reading 3-1 on Sunday (16/1); Everton to draw with Newcastle 2-2 on Monday (14/1) and Arsenal to beat Montpellier 3-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night (16/1).
The bet's combined odds were 4,334/1 and the punter's excitement must have been at fever pitch when the first two selections came in.
He stood to win a whopping £108,350 if the Arsenal beat Montpellier in France and things were looking very promising after only 18 minutes when Gervinho put the Gunners 2-1 in front.
However, there were no further goals in the match and Blue Square PR manager Alan Alger, who took the bet, went on Twitter to express his relief that the bet did not come off and to offer the customer a consolation prize.
"Mr X from Inverness that was a hell of a good bet Sir! You were very unlucky. We'll give you your £25 back and multiply it by 10! #relieved" he wrote.
