Punters sees ridiculous winnings from 25p bet TREBLED thanks to bookies
ONE canny William Hill customer had an Easter Monday to remember after scooping a staggering £21,383 from a modest 25p Lucky 15!
Thanks to some shrewd selections – and a colossal boost from William Hill’s Best Odds Guaranteed – the punter pocketed nearly £14,000 extra on top of their winnings.
The cheeky flutter, which turned into a life-changing payout, began with a bang when City Of Strangers bolted up in the 5.30pm at Redcar.
Moments later, Battle It Out lived up to its name to claim the 5.40pm at Fairyhouse.
Then came Dr Strangelove, who proved just the tonic in the 5.50pm at Kempton.
Finally, the grand finale with Orchestra hitting all the right notes in the 6.20pm, also at Kempton.
Without Best Odds Guaranteed and a 10% bonus for four winners, the return would’ve still been an impressive £7,391.72.
But thanks to that savvy opt-in, the final payout soared to over £21K!
