This British bettor wins huge William Hill payout at odds of 11m
People often say that winning is sweeter than making money. Well, one lucky bettor's sweet tooth must have snapped after he recently lost over £200,000 (over $300,000) on a series of parlays on William Hill's sports betting site.
Overcome all difficulties
An anonymous father from across counties in England spent just £15.84 ($24.24) after placing multiple bets with bookmakers to win at odds of 11 million to one. At the end of his good fortune, he managed to turn this pocket money into a small fortune.
The anonymous winner's bet involved just two shiny pennies. All he had to do was select eight horses in eight races to finish in the top four. This man clearly had good instincts when it came to horse selection, as he mastered this seemingly simple but extremely difficult task and turned his two pennies into £111,294 ($170,390).
Perfect choice
He went on to place bets of one penny each on the six, five and four winning horses, and miraculously, he picked the winning horses in these races as well. Of the 11 horses he bet on, just eight first-place finishers were enough to earn him a whopping £209,731 ($321,068).
“I’ve had a few four-figure wins in the past,” explained the anonymous winner, “but I didn’t expect this.” Next I’ll think about how to spend the money comfortably. days, but this will have a big impact on the current climate. "
"This is one of the luckiest bets we've ever seen," William Hill spokesperson Kate Miller said. "Accumulators are very popular bets and we get big winners a few times throughout the year, but seeing a small bet is almost unique."
"I'd probably pay off the mortgage, and I'm a car enthusiast, so I'd probably consider a vintage sports car," the winner added. If you really think about it, paying off your mortgage and treating yourself to your ultimate teenage fantasy car might be the new dream - all at the cost of a cheap family meal.
