Picking a winning bet is not an easy endeavor. The sheer number of variables involved means that even in a single-fold bet, it’s an uphill task to pick a winner. When you now have a lengthy accumulator, the odds are even steeper. However, several lucky winners did just that with BetKing last weekend. Curious to find out how they did this so you too can implement their strategy? Then read on! **How much our big winners walked away with, and how they did it** Three of last weekend’s big winners won; ₦6,905,247.98, ₦3,386,493.50 and 2,718,239.90 with varying approaches by betting on our online betting products. **Winner 1: (8BKU-EM89U-5-YT33)** The weekend’s big winner multiplied a 200 stake by a staggering 34,526.24. His approach was a simple one; by backing only full-time draws on an 11-fold accumulator, he was able to maximize the odds and win big. With just 11 picks on his betslip, he was only able to qualify for a fraction of our 300% acca bonus. However, even the 35% acca bonus he got still boosted his eventual win by ₦1,790,249.47. Even more interesting, this was a live bet where the app gave him the crucial extra seconds he needed to accurately predict how the games would end and still place his bet before the odds reduced even further.

All the picks on his bet slip backed the “over 2.5 goals” market on [FootballGO](https://m.betking.com/sports/events/prematch/football-go/england/go-premier-league) ; our hybrid Football-virtual sports betting product. Unlike our big winner, he bet ₦10,000 on a total sum of 270.92 odds and enjoyed a 25% acca bonus of ₦677,298.70 to take his eventual win to ₦3,386,493.50. **Winner 3 (8BKU-B3EKH-5-Z23C)** Winner 3 took a different approach from our first two big winners. For starters, he went with online sports betting prematch bets over live sports betting or FootballGO. He also mixed up the markets he bet on, with a mixture of 1X2 betting and “both teams to score” on his bet prediction. That does not mean there weren’t any similarities; just like the other two big winners, he went for an accumulator (this time, with 1o picks). Like the second winner, he also bet ₦10,000. The latter earned him a 30% acca bonus that came to 627,285.13; a sizable portion of his overall win of ₦2,718,239.89.
**The best way to win big just like the weekend’s big winners** So, what can you learn from the three big winners? Here are a few takeaways from how they won: **1. Be strategic:** When you place bets, you need to be strategic to ensure that you’re not just throwing your money away. The higher your budget is, the fewer risks you have to take if you’d like to win big. The first winner bet just ₦200 and still won almost ₦7,000,000 by taking a bigger risk than the other two big winners and going with straight draw markets. The other two committed larger sums to their bets and as a result, were more conservative with their picks. **2. Diversify where possible:** Most bettors like to bet on prematch markets. You’ll have also noticed that two of the big winners bet on live markets and FootballGO. You can also enjoy other exciting products to bet on with us such as [Virtual Betting](https://m.betking.com/virtual) , our [Online Casino](https://m.betking.com/casino/) and the [“pick 11” Jackpot!](https://m.betking.com/jackpot-bets/) **3.
