Premier League Weekend Recap: Cash Out Saved a Punter’s 22,000/1 Acca Falling In Final Match

It was another glorious day of Premier League football up and down the country. But, for some, a hefty accumulator win would overshadow anything on the pitch. We’ll have all that and more here at bettingexpert as we make our way through the weekend round-up with William Hill.

Biggest Winning Bets And Most Popular Picks This Weekend

Following the £20k Pascal Gross brace punt in week two, there are several more eye-catching bets to run the rule over at William Hill this weekend. None more so than the 22000/1 accumulator that was waiting on a Liverpool victory on Monday night to cap off a sizable win. Lucky enough, just like the shrewd picks that came before over the weekend, the punter chose to cash out and run to the hills with £11k. Well played.

And they weren’t alone this weekend. Plenty of you landed three and four-digit acca wins across the packed football schedule. With the £5 free bet for Liverpool’s visit 40 miles away in Manchester, one plucky punter pencilled in Man Utd to win or draw, Rashford and Salah both to score, Varane & Alexander Arnold to receive bookings and over 2.5 goals. What kind of price did that muster? 275/1. Not bad for a free bet. Elsewhere, a punt on Salah and Sancho to find the net and Fernandes and Dalot to be carded, propped up by a corners selection, saw a 125/1 Build Your Odds pick land with relative ease.

Ever had a go at landing a Result and BTTS acca? Yeah, not easy. Well, one punter dipped into leagues in Poland, Argentina and Brazil and successfully produced a winning 1300/1 six-fold to make it a profitable weekend indeed.

Market Moments

As always, on the back of fresh results in the Premier League, outright markets often see plenty of action whilst the season is in its infancy. Gameweek three was no different, with Manchester City moving ever so slightly closer to the rest for the title after dropping points from 2/5 to 4/11. In the top four betting, Chelsea moved from 8/13 to 4/5 after a horror result against Leeds United – a side that lost all twelve fixtures against the top six last season.

From the top to the bottom, Bournemouth went to 2/5 for the drop to the second tier. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, after getting Morgan Gibbs-White over the line and holding Everton to a draw at Goodison, pushed out to 6/4 after starting the campaign at 4/6. In what will be grim reading for Hammers fans, after quotes of 33/1 in pre-season, you can now back West Ham at 8/1 to be playing Championship football next year on the back of three straight losses to nil.

In the top goalscorer betting, Haaland shortened once more after finding the net in Newcastle. After a goalless weekend for Gabriel Jesus, after thousands drafted him into their FPL squads, the Arsenal man is back out to 8/1 from 13/2 to clinch the individual accolade.

William Hill’s Weekend Offers And How They Played Out

To kick off proceedings in the Premier League, Wolves headed to the capital and performed valiantly up against Spurs. The 1-0 win not only continued Spurs’ unbeaten start to the season but also paid out William Hill’s Epic Odds bet for the second week on the bounce.

Furthermore, the second promotion handed to punters came in the shape of a free £5 bet for the Monday night showdown in Manchester. Not many could have predicted that type of performance from Erik ten Haag’s side, but some of you were spot on with who the referee, Michael Oliver, would get in his book. Trent Alexander-Arnold has experienced a poor start to life in 2022/23, and that continued with another abject defensive showing and a yellow card – the right-back proving the most-fancied player in the match to pick up a caution, and rightly so.

The shots on target markets again headed the popularity contest amongst William Hill punters throughout the BYO selections. Salah, Diaz, Rashford and Sancho led the way in bet slips – all of whom registered a shot on target, whilst a rejuvenated Marcus Rashford hit the mark twice from five attempts.

For William Hill’s next EPIC ODDS promotion, Southampton and Man Utd find themselves in the crosshairs. Punters will be able to get on over one goal to be scored in the match at Evens for the tie on Saturday lunchtime – one to keep an eye out for.
