Lucky Cheltenham Punter Wins £40k from 50p EW Bet

It’s been a great two days of racing at the Cheltenham Festival and it’s been even better for one lucky punter who landed a HUGE seven-fold each way accumulator on Wednesday’s races.

It was the shorter-priced runners that dominated Day 2 at Cheltenham with favourites winning five of the seven races. Yesterday proved a little more lucrative for outsider bets as Maskada stormed the Grand Annual to beat favourite Dinoblue at a relatively big price of 22/1. However, one winning punter proved that you do not need to back short-priced favourites, or even winners, to land a big return.

The lucky punter placed an accumulator with William Hill which consisted of seven outsiders, all running in races at Cheltenham on Wednesday. Despite only picking on winner, the return from their bet was a hefty £40,929.31 from just a £0.50 each way acca with a total stake of just £1!

Here are their seven selections:

Winning selections:

• Impaire Et Passe @ 5/2 (WON)
• Bronn @ 50/1 (PLACED)
• Captain Conby @ 15/2 (PLACED)
• Captain Guinness @ 16/1 (PLACED)
• Lieutenant Rocco @ 100/1 (PLACED)
• Dinoblue @ 11/2 (PLACED)
• Captain Teague @ 40/1 (PLACED)

Extra Places Come To The Rescue

Several bookies offer extra places on horse racing which is an offer that proved extremely lucrative to the winning punter. Without the William Hill extra places being offered on selected races at Cheltenham yesterday, they wouldn’t have won a single penny.

Captain Conby (15/2) came in 6th place in the Coral Cup and Lieutenant Rocco (100/1) finished 4th in the Cross Country Chase. William Hill were offering extra places on both races which meant that over £40k was paid out to this punter when standard places would have returned zero.

Along with Extra Places, Best Odds Guaranteed is another offer that should be taken up on every racing bet that you place. BOG can result in sometimes significantly greater returns should the price of your selections drift between the time you place your bet and the off.

Our best odds guaranteed bookies lists some of the best racing sites that offer BOG and other promotions.

There’s still two days of racing to look forward to at Cheltenham and no doubt there will be more lucky punters who land some big wins.
