Unlucky punter misses out on winning £36,000 bet because of shock Premier League result

Luton's surprise win over Crystal Palace cost one unlucky YouTuber a bet worth more than £36,000.

Teden Mengi put the home side ahead midway through the second half before Michael Olise equalised almost immediately for Palace with a sensational goal.

Jacob Brown restored Luton's lead with around seven minutes of normal time remaining and the hosts held on to secure a vital victory.

The surprise result moves Luton four points clear of the relegation zone and comes as a surprise to many, given their struggles so far this season.

It also proved very costly for YouTuber Callux, real name Callum McGinley.

In the end, only Palace let him down – costing him £36,347.

Some fans of the YouTuber were quick to offer their sympathy.

"That's devastating," replied one supporter on X.

While another added: "I feel your pain."

Not all fans were sympathetic, however, with one replying: "If you have the funds to put £100 on an outcome this unlikely you should consider yourself very lucky, cause 99.9999% of people can't afford that."

A second fan replied: "That's what you get for betting against Luton."

While a Palace supporter simply put: "Glad we lost now."

If they had decided to see it through then they would have turned a £10 free bet into £31,295.

But instead, they opted to cash out for just £34.68.
