A bettor managed to transform a £10 stake into nearly £50,000 by placing a six-horse accumulator bet with only one winning selection. The lucky customer of William Hill cashed out £47,351.56 after betting on horses to finish in the top positions in a sixfold each-way bet. The selections were made for races held at Cheltenham, Doncaster, and Newbury on Saturday.
What made this win particularly remarkable was that out of the six chosen horses, only one emerged victorious. The bet began with Great Fleet coming in second in a novices’ hurdle at Cheltenham with odds of 25-1, followed by Hoe Joly Smoke finishing third in a handicap chase at 12-1.
Moving on to Doncaster, Figjam, priced at 16/1, secured second place in a Listed race. The action returned to Cheltenham, where Supremely West (18-1) claimed third in a handicap hurdle, and Arabian Desert finished as a runner-up in the Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury (16/1).
The climax of the bet rested on Hamish in the St Simon Stakes, where the nine-year-old veteran triumphed, rewarding the bettor with odds of 11-2. The substantial win was further boosted by the application of Best Odds Guaranteed on two of the selections.
William Hill’s spokesperson, Lee Phelps, expressed surprise at the win, acknowledging the punter’s exceptional achievement. Phelps highlighted the value of Best Odds Guaranteed for punters and commended the bettor for the extraordinary success in turning a £5 each-way sixfold into nearly £50,000 with just one winning selection. The feat showcased the punter’s skill and luck, earning admiration from the betting community.
