William Hill have been hit for a five-figure sum by a shrewd racing punter.
A £15 five-fold, £10 of which was a free bet, landed after all five selections won, returning £12,658.91 to the leading bookmaker’s customer.
The winning streak began with a treble of Newmarket winners: Adaay Of Scarlett (13/8), Talk Of New York (4/5) and Jakajaro (4/1), followed by two at Lingfield: Mr Baloo (9/2) and Lady Milton (11/2).
With the customer having opted in to Best Odds Guaranteed, they received an extra £1,659.69.
Bookmaker’s reaction
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, reacted to the big winner: “There’s nothing like turning a small bet into a five-figure sum, and this is exactly what one of our punters has done.
“They successfully combined five winning selections across Newmarket and Lingfield and have had it right off, landing a cool £12,658.91 in the process.
“It would’ve been extra sweet for the punter, who not only used a £10 free bet as part of their £15 stake, but also opted into William Hill’s Best Odds Guaranteed.
“That meant their winnings were boosted by over £1,500, which will have surely made this cracking bet feel that bit better!”
