Lucky punter wins £60,000 after backing Caley Thistle and County to win 7-0

One lucky man has won nearly £60,000 after taking a punt on three of Saturday’s Betfred Cup matches ending 7-0.

Steve Sales put down just £1.40 on Dundee, Inverness and Ross County to score big this weekend.

Incredibly, all three results came in at odds of 276,000/1, leaving the 54-year-old to pick up a cool £57,990 prize.

Inverness won over Arbroath, while Ross County beat Cove Rangers and Dundee beat Forfar.

Mr Sales, from Sutton, near London, said he has no real knowledge of Scottish football and just put down the bet as a punt.

The dad-of-three said the bet would now allow him to enjoy life after going through difficult times recently.

He said: “It will be nice to have the electricity on all the time now and the fridge full of food.

“I’m going to take my mum on a cruise as she has had a hard time recently looking after my dad, who is poorly.”

Betfred owner Fred Done told the Evening Telegraph: “We have never come across such an incredible bet.”
