A bettor has managed to transform a £10 stake into nearly £50,000 by placing a six-horse accumulator bet with just one winning selection. The customer at William Hill received a payout of £47,351.56 after correctly predicting the outcomes of horses in an each-way sixfold bet. The selections were made for races held at Cheltenham, Doncaster, and Newbury on Saturday.
What made this win remarkable was that out of the six horses chosen, only one emerged as the winner. The bet began with Great Fleet finishing second at Cheltenham with odds of 25-1, followed by Hoe Joly Smoke coming in third in another race at the same venue at 12-1.
Moving to Doncaster, Figjam placed second in a Listed race at 16-1. Returning to Cheltenham, Supremely West secured third place in a handicap hurdle at 18-1 before Arabian Desert finished as the runner-up in the Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury with odds of 16/1.
The outcome depended on Hamish in the St Simon Stakes, where the nine-year-old horse emerged victorious, rewarding the punter with odds of 11-2. The final payout was significantly boosted by the Best Odds Guaranteed feature on two of the selections.
William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps expressed surprise at the bet’s success, acknowledging the punter’s impressive achievement. Turning a £10 each-way sixfold bet into nearly £50,000 showcases the value of Best Odds Guaranteed for punters and highlights the skill of the bettor. The extraordinary nature of this win deserves recognition and applause.
