Sports Journalist at FST, Gareth qualified as a journalist after graduating from university and spent over a decade as a freelance broadcast journalist, commentator and tipster before joining FST. Now living in Manchester, he is a long suffering Bolton Wanderers fan who also enjoys boxing, the NBA, tennis and rugby league.

We enjoyed a fantastic weekend here at FST with five accas landing across four different sports on Saturday, but one punter out there managed to eclipse our own efforts.

A 37/1 both teams to score treble was our highlight from an incredible day – but one William Hill customer picked out a whopping 11,662/1 ninefold.

The bet would have paid just over £58k but thanks to William Hill’s Bet Boost, the customer received an extra £28,940 so they came away with a £87,247.12 win!

Fancy taking on the bookies yourself? We’ve got plenty of tips in our Football and Sports Tips pages and William Hill have a sign-up offer, which you can take advantage of if you’re not already a customer by clicking the buttom below.

These nine selections won £87k from £5 bet:

Wolves to win vs Chelsea 29/10
Bournemouth to win at Leicester 15/4
Newcastle to win at Brentford 5/4
Celtic to win vs Rangers 4/6
Aberdeen to win vs Kilmarnock 10/11
St Mirren to win at Hearts 3/1
Motherwell to win vs Livingston 23/20
Ross County to win at St Johnston 12/5
Queen Of The South to win at Alloa 2/1

This customer made some bold calls and their bravery paid off as Bournemouth, Wolves, St Mirren, Ross County and Queen Of The South all won at big prices.

Newcastle and Motherwell were also backed at odds-against, with an Old Firm win for Celtic and a victory for Aberdeen pushing the price up further.

The drama in this bet came at the Brentford Community Stadium as Newcastle had to come from behind for their three points, but all the other selections won either comfortably or the winning teams scored fairly early.
