Researchers have discovered that more winning football bets were placed in the Essex town of Chingford than anywhere else in Britain last season, as punters collected winnings worth over half a million pounds after backing a series of football results on Ladbrokes.
According to the Mirror, Glasgow was next on the list with odds-defying winners taking home nearly 300,000 pounds during the 2012/13 season.
The tiny Welsh mining village of Tylorstown, which has a population of just 4100, ranked 6th on the list, the report said.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said that there must be something in the water in Chingford and football fans there clearly have the magic touch when it comes to landing huge wins.
