The football season has barely started and already we’ve probably seen the bet of the year.
One lucky punter landed nearly £200,000 from a £10 bet on a huge 18-fold corner accumulator on Tuesday evening.

Each leg required over 9.5 corners across the EFL Cup First Round.
17 legs of the 18-fold accumulator kicked off at 7.45pm so it wasn’t all confirmed until Bromley vs Ipswich, the only 8pm kick-off of the monster bet.
But the punter from Essex didn’t have to wait long as a total of 14 corners were accrued in the 90 minutes ahead of the penalty shootout between the League Two and Championship side.
The bet successfully paid out £197,945.98 with 10+ corners in all games, including Accrington vs Peterborough, Cardiff vs Swindon, Coventry vs Luton, Portsmouth vs Reading and many more.
Usually with these kinds of bets, despite how likely a certain amount of corners are, there’s one or two at least that just don’t seem to get close to the tally of corners needed.
But there were corners galore in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night!
