They say patience is a virtue and it could certainly pay off for one punter, who will be nervously awaiting the result of Monday morning's World Cup final.
After placing $17 on a 10-leg multi in November they'll collect $7,206.60 if France can overcome Croatia and lift the trophy in Moscow.
The bet spanned across five different sports and eight competitions, with the first leg coming in on November 26 when Jamie Whincup capitalised on Kiwi Scott McLaughlin's misfortune to claim the 2017 Supercars Drivers Championship ($1.60).
That was followed by Australia winning the Rugby League World Cup ($1.20) and the New England Patriots ($2.25) and Philadelphia Eagles ($3.40) winning their respective conferences in the NFL.
They also correctly picked both conference winners in the NBA backing the Golden State Warriors at $1.30 and the Cleveland Cavaliers at $1.60 as well as the winners of three European football leagues, the English Premier League (Manchester City, $1.15), Spain's La Liga (Barcelona, $1.30) and the Dutch Eredivisie (PSV Eindhoven, $1.50).
