Lucky Break at Wolverhampton Racecourse
A racing punter had a miraculous start to the new year after winning £47,000 despite a losing bet at Wolverhampton racecourse. The series of events could have potentially won them over £500,000.
How the Bet Was Placed
The William Hill customer placed a £20 bet on five horses, using doubles, each-way trebles, four-folds, and one £4 each-way five-fold acca.
The Winning Horses
The first horse, Romanovich, won at 8-1 in a 1m½f race. The second horse, Gold Standard, lost. The remaining three horses, Just A Spark, Reigning Profit, and Havanazam, all won.
The Final Payday
The punter's returns amounted to £47,024.50, but they could have won even more if they had best odds guaranteed on the race.
Bookies Left Reeling
This win comes just a day after another Paddy Power customer won £100,000 with a sensational accumulator bet.
Remember to gamble responsibly.
