A punter from Woking, outside London, picked up £332,000 pounds ($607,000) after Greece beat Portugal 1-0 in the Euro 2004 final.
The Greek punter made two bets at a William Hill shop – 4,000 pounds ($7,300) when the Greeks were 50-1 on June 23 and 8,000 pounds five days later when they were 10-1, according to Reuters.
On Sunday afternoon with Greece on offer at 9-4 to beat the tournament hosts in the final he put down another 12,500 pounds ($22,860).
"We believe the man is Greek, which isn't that surprising," said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Greece were 80-1 outsiders when the tournament began and are now on offer at 33-1 for the 2006 World Cup.
British bookmakers took 300 million pounds ($548 million) on Euro 2004.
