Our punter played it safe to begin with by backing the likes of Newcastle, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham to beat lower-league opponents.
The acca also featured short-priced favourites in Europe, including Midtjylland and Freiburg.
Though six selections could be described as bankers, the remainder certainly weren’t.
The plucky punter backed underdogs Ludogorets to beat Malmo away from home at odds of 7/2, along with Braga, Roma, and Dinamo Zagreb – all at evens or higher.
The three draws that helped push the winnings even higher came from PAOK vs Maccabi Tel Aviv, Crvena Zvezda vs Celtic, and Real Betis vs Nottingham Forest – with Antony leaving it until the 85th minute to equalise.
Betfair spokesperson James Mackie said: “On Wednesday evening we saw one Betfair punter score big on the Carabao Cup and Europa League games.
“Our hats go off to the winning bettor who correctly predicted 13 correct results from just a £2 stake.
“The punter’s acca managed to land them £12,194.99 with an accumulation of 10 teams to win in England and across Europe and three draws. Congratulations on this amazing win!”
