One high roller with VC Bet was suffering late on Saturday  when Real Madrid twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Real Zaragoza while Barcelona who were beating Espanyol were pegged back with a late equaliser. His £110,000 bet on Manchester United and Barcelona winning their respective leagues looked likely to collect until the dramatic late turns in both games.

The wager which was placed early in February when both sides were at 1/2 stands the Highgate-based client to win £247,500 but Real Madrid are now in the box seat and are 1/12 with VC Bet to win Primera Liga.

Neal Wilkins from VC Bet commented "One can only imagine how the client felt on Saturday as both games were turned on their heads with unbelievable consequences."
