But boy was he made to sweat for it.

Newcastle were letting him down on the win only accumulator as Brighton led 1-0 with just seconds to go against Aston Villa which would see them seize the title.

But in the 89th minute up stepped Villa’s Jack Grealish to slot home an equaliser which made the Magpies champions and earned one delirious gambler just over sixty grand.

Now I’ve been known to throw things at the telly when there’s only a tenner riding on a game so heaven knows how his furniture fared.

But who cares when you can saunter up to the payout window and dump that little beauty of a betting slip on the counter.

Obviously I can’t pluck a 6,000-1 acca out of the air for you.

But there’s a few decent prices around this weekend which look well worth chancing.

Jose Mourinho is all-in now on the previously unloved Europa League so Man Utd will be fielding a second string against Spurs.

Tottenham will be desperate to quickly erase the memory of their humbling by West Ham and should easily see off Mourinho’s B-team.

Arsenal have picked-up a bit of late and should get past a Stoke side who have that season-over-already look to them.

But Swansea are  fighting for their lives and can pick up an invaluable three points away at doomed Sunderland.

The Spurs/Arsenal/Swansea treble pays 4/1 which could look like easy money come Sunday night.
