Easter Monday punter trebles winnings to £21,000 after taking best odds for 25p acca bet

A punter trebled their winnings by taking best odds on four horses in an accumulator bet on Easter Monday.

The customer turned a 25p Lucky 15 into £21,383.73, but nearly £14,000 of the sum was earned only because they opted for Best Odds Guaranteed. The bet got off to a flyer when City Of Strangers scored in the 5.30pm at Redcar at a starting price of 18-1, the punter having taken the shorter odds of 14-1.

Battle It Out then won the 5.40pm from Fairyhouse. That horse returned at 8-1 but had been backed when the odds were 10-1. The third leg was won by Dr Strangelove in the 5.50pm from Kempton, scoring at an SP of 16-1, having been backed at 12-1. Then Orchestra captured the 6.20pm at Kempton at 16-1, double the 8-1 odds the punter had taken when placing the bet.

William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps, said: “We’ve been reminding customers to opt in to Best Odds Guaranteed and this is exactly why.

“But thanks to them having opted into Best Odds Guaranteed, they saw their winnings given a brilliant boost, jumping up to £21,383.73. That’s nearly £14,000 in extra winnings, and it just goes to show that Best Odds Guaranteed really is the punters’ friend!”
