No bookie is safe from the punters’ lucky charms when the football season is on. And 2015 made no exception from that rule. Like the years before, the punters dreamt big in 2015, placed some crazy accumulator bets and some of them even won life-changing cashes. They didn’t risk much turning their one-digit bet into six-digit wins. How much exactly, you wonder? Well, you’re about to find out:3. ‘Timing Couldn’t Be Better’Dean Clay from Chandler’s Ford is an ordinary man living an ordinary life. But his life took a bit of a twist almost a year ago, in February 2015. Back then, he had just finalised a mortgage on a new home after finding out he was soon to be a father. What he didn’t expect though was a huge win from a ₤2 football bet. He often places three ₤2 bets every week during the football season and nearly 11 months ago, Lady Luck finally smiled upon him. He predicted 14 outcomes but one was truly special: the last, the match between Burnley and West Bromwich Albion. Burnley led 2-0 at one point and Mr. Clay thought it was over. Not by a long shot: WBA went to to equalize and the match finished in a draw, just like Mr. Clay predicted. He initially thought he won almost ₤70,000 but with all the bonuses Coral gave, the soon-to-be father actually won ₤92,944. “Timing couldn’t be a lot better,” Mr. Clay said, according to BBC News thinking of course of his new home and his baby.2. Buying A Car Prior To Winning The Football BetGeorge Wood from Lancashire had an October night to remember barely getting any sleep. No, he hadn’t won anything just yet at that time. He had one last game and in order to cash in big with Ladbrokes, Manchester City had to defeat Bournemouth and both teams had to score goals. Before that match though, he was so sure he was going to win that he bought a new car. ‘I had that gut feeling,’ he told the Mirror. Manchester City ended up winning and Bournemouth scored a consolation goal good for Mr. Wood to win a staggering ₤116,000 from a ₤5 bet. He predicted 10 correct outcomes including including two UEFA Champions League games. Besides the car, Mr. Wood had big plans for his huge prize including a luxury holiday to Mexico and paying off Mum’s debts.1. Irish LuckThe most lucky punter in 2015 however was obviously an Irish. Back in February, a punter from the Republic of Ireland bet €1 with Paddy Power and guessed the outcomes of no less than 17 football matches. One of them - Norwich City vs. Blackburn Rovers - ended dramatically as Norwich scored the winning goal with five minutes left from regulation. The win sealed the Irish a hefty €206,000 payday. Talk about Irish luck…BONUS: What Could Have Been…The Irish though could have been dethroned by a British in August if not for a fold. An individual betting with Coral was in the books for winning ₤273,800 from a ₤5 bet but the bookmaker offer him or her a way out: before the game Portsmouth - Derby County, Coral gave the opportunity to the punter to cash out his prize. The punter accepted the deal and won only ₤50,000.

Portsmouth did upset Derby County 2-1 but it was too late...the deal was already sealed.
