An individual recently transformed a £10 wager into an impressive sum of almost £50,000 by placing a six-horse accumulator bet that resulted in just one winning selection. The fortunate customer of William Hill earned £47,351.56 by selecting horses for an each-way sixfold bet with an initial stake of £10. The chosen horses were part of the races held at Cheltenham, Doncaster, and Newbury on Saturday.
This betting triumph was noteworthy because out of the six selected horses, only one emerged as the outright winner. The series of events began with Great Fleet securing a second-place spot in a novices’ hurdle at Cheltenham, defying the odds at 25-1, followed by Hoe Joly Smoke finishing third in a handicap chase at 12-1 in the subsequent race at the same venue.
Proceeding to Doncaster, Figjam, a 16/1 contender, claimed the second position in a Listed race. The journey returned to Cheltenham, where Supremely West (18-1) secured third place in a handicap hurdle, and then Arabian Desert finished as a runner-up in the Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury (16/1).
The final outcome hinged on Hamish’s victory in the St Simon Stakes, with the nine-year-old horse triumphing at odds of 11-2, significantly boosting the total winnings due to Best Odds Guaranteed applying to two selections.
Expressing his astonishment, William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps commented on the impressive achievement, stating, “We had an excellent weekend at the William Hill Showcase and William Hill Futurity Trophy meetings, but discovering this bet has certainly added to the excitement! The skill demonstrated by this punter is truly commendable.
“To convert a £5 each-way sixfold into nearly £50,000 is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly with only one winning selection. This success story underscores the value of Best Odds Guaranteed for punters. Nonetheless, let’s not diminish this remarkable achievement, as the bettor has truly pulled off an extraordinary feat, deserving high praise!”
