Biggest Winning Bets And Most Popular Picks This Weekend

What’s the biggest acca you’ve ever landed? Well, one William Hill punter will likely provide stiff competition. Their £5, 13-fold acca, mainly consisting of National League fixtures, romped home in some fashion. Returns of £15,000 should make it an August bank holiday to remember.

Thirteen seemed to be the lucky number over the weekend, as another 13-leg £10 accumulator banked £13,000 for another delighted William Hill player. Selections from Sweden, Turkey and the National League brought home the bacon.

Away from the dizzy heights of 13-fold accas and into the world of sizable Build Your Odds punts – one outlandish 125/1 BYO bet, in fact. Making up the 125/1-shot in Forest vs Spurs was Harry Kane to bag two or more, Dejan Kulusevski to lay on an assist and Forest duo Scott McKenna and Lewis O’Brien to go into the referee’s book. That 81st-minute Kane strike must’ve served up some celebration.

Market Movements

As you can imagine, a resounding result here and a shock defeat there sets minds racing in terms of the outright markets. This weekend was no different. In the race for the top four, two successive wins against Liverpool and Southampton push Manchester United into 3/1 from 4/1.

In the relegation betting, Bournemouth can now be backed at as short as 2/5 for the drop after Liverpool’s 9-0 humiliation at Anfield. Somehow, Mo Salah navigated the 90 minutes without getting on the scoresheet, a feat that has seen Harry Kane’s brace usher him ahead of the Egyptian in the top goalscorer market. As a result, the England captain is now 11/2 from 13/2, moving away from Mo Salah, who jumped from 9/2 to a hefty 8/1.

Erling Haaland, as expected, took a leap towards the personal accolade with three goals in a comeback victory against Crystal Palace. Those three goals ensured three points and moved City’s leading man to 4/7 from 11/8 to pip his Premier League counterparts in the goalscoring stakes.

William Hill’s Weekend Offers And How They Played Out

In what would have thrilled fans from one side of Manchester, the early Saturday kick-off saw Man Utd successfully take on Southampton at St Marys. Alongside Erik ten Haag’s second win of the season was William Hill’s Epic Odds bet, unfortunately falling just one goal shy of paying out for a third consecutive week.

For the upcoming weekend, the Merseyside Derby is in the spotlight for the next EPIC Odds price. This time, William Hill punters will be offered Liverpool to clinch three points at Evens. Last season, The Reds won 1-4 at Goodison Park and 2-0 on familiar soil to round off a Premier League double on Merseyside.
