A bettor has successfully transformed a £10 wager into a substantial £47,351.56 windfall through a six horse accumulator bet, with only one winning selection. The fortunate individual, a customer of William Hill, chose horses for an each-way sixfold bet at Cheltenham, Doncaster, and Newbury races on Saturday.
What made this win remarkable was that out of the six horses selected, only one emerged as the outright winner. The bet began with Great Fleet securing second place at 25-1 odds in a novices’ hurdle at Cheltenham, followed by Hoe Joly Smoke finishing third at 12-1 in a handicap chase.
Subsequently, at Doncaster, Figjam came second at 16-1 in a Listed race. Moving back to Cheltenham, Supremely West claimed third place at 18-1 in a handicap hurdle, while Arabian Desert finished as a runner-up at 16-1 in the Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury.
The final outcome hinged on Hamish winning the St Simon Stakes at odds of 11-2, significantly boosting the total payout due to Best Odds Guaranteed applying to two of the selections. William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, expressed surprise at the bet’s success, acknowledging the punter’s impressive achievement in turning a modest wager into a substantial return, emphasizing the value of Best Odds Guaranteed for bettors.
