Matchday Four of the Champions League provided plenty of excitement, but it was a particularly eventful round of games for one gambler.
Feeling confident of the outcome of four matches from Wednesday evening, punter Dan Field placed �11 ($17.50) in a 'Yankee' (a type of accumulator bet) with English bookmaker William Hill.
By correctly predicting that Manchester Utd would beat Braga 3-1, Benfica would beat Spartak Moscow 2-0, Valencia would win 4-2 against BATE and Chelsea would overcome Shaktar Donetsk 3-2, Field won a whopping��189,597.50 (around $301,000).
After winning more than 17,000 times his initial investment, he�took to Twitter and posted evidence of his lucky betting slip.
Field has received much (deserved)�adulation�from fellow Twitter users ? including Robbie Savage ? and has�said he will be putting all his winnings on Stoke to win 5-1 when QPR visit the Britannia this weekend. If he's serious, he probably won't have six figures in his bank account for long.
