We can't even guess three fixtures right, never mind 16.

But one punter did just that with an inspired 16-game accumulator that won him a ridiculous £180,000 off a £1 bet. The 27-year-old Londoner hit the motherload when Watford beat Nottingham Forest with an 89th minute goal in the FA Cup. He also needed a consolation goal in the La Liga game between Eibar and Malaga to win him the six-figure sum. It is believed to be one of the biggest winning football bets from such a small stake every paid out by William Hill, with the final total standing at £181,570.50. Not bad off a quid. "This is one of the biggest winning football bets we have ever seen," a spokesman for the Bookies said. "For someone to defy odds of over 180,000/1 is a feat most of us dream about but it is very rarely achieved." https://twitter.com/WillHillBet/status/694476699187154945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
