Whats the biggest bet you've won in terms of odds?

249/1

180/1

Urban Sea to win The Arc ~ 66/1

Probably backed the winners of  Golf tournaments at higher odds , but in the context of backing and laying the whole field that don't really count.

Also Accas when i used to do them, had one at 100/1 ,maybe better ones

Really interesting thread (yawn), sorry excuse me.

325/1   giggs to score 1st and utd to beat juve 3-0 in turin, many years ago. giggs didnt even start but came on early due to an injury!

120/1 Charl Schwartzl in the masters last year

oh tell a lie i had a f/c up once which paid over 200/1

correction over 400/1

Mon Mome in the 2009 Grand National at 100/1, a whole 50p e/w!

Kenilworth, if you don't like this thread, why comment on it? I'm sure you prefer when people who have no interest in your threads don't add pointless posts.

200.

£2 on 27/1 on blackburn on the "Man united vs blackburn rovers"
And ive done a couple HT/FT bets before.

Think i got a £3 26/1 on Real Madrid/Barcelona HT/FT bet.
and  another one was Aston villa/Arsenal HT/FT but i cant remember the odds on that think it was 35/1 with a £1 bet.

Ive been trying to get a treble with correct scores on since jan using £1 bets each weekend but im yet to get more than one correct score correct -.-

Im not botherd anyways most my winnings end up going back to the bookies or someone else on betfair. i just do it for abit of fun waiting for a nice £500+ win in less than 10 bets using £10 banks.

So far since xmas ive managed to get from £30 - £200 then lose it all, and £50 - £100.  But i seeem to loose most my money doing small bets on stupid games then wondering why i loose it faster than doing bigger bets.

Got to stop soon for awhile anyways to get a new bank because man united seem to suck 2nite.

the hulk   pole   position 2 years ago matched on here at 840/1   for aa total of £1.42

glorious day but felt a bit aggrieved it wasnt more

80/1-Moldovan to score first and Romania to beat England 2-1.

80/1 mcdowell us open.

shaky, I DID comment on the thread, I found it really, REALLY interesting.

i have taken positions on odds above 100. however most of the time i green when the odds decrease. so not sure if it fits to ur question

175/1 Zach Johnson US Masters

One of my best was Kieran dyer to score first 16/1, few years back for newcastle in europe. had couple injuries so he was put up front, it was at Stan james, everyone was on in shop. when he scored Inearly went though the roof.

Is kenilworth a prick? just asking as I have never seen anyone say anything good to or about him?

backed 29/02/12

laid 08/11/09
1000/1 - 2 years ago ,£1.80 , 3-3 Falkirk v Celtic  correct score

both late game bets

coachbuster did u let these bets run till the end or did u trade them after a goal or two if u dont mind me asking.  usually i trade them to recover my stake no matter how small t is. it is an area i may have to look its profitablity longterm

Absolutely, don't even dare question anything on one of his numerous threads of boredom though as it will get his goat up something wicked. A **** of the highest order. Posts plenty but never actually gives his bet as he has been found out to be a mug for a very long time.

Trevor Immelman at 200/1 to win The Matsers.

Masters.

colonell

good point - i did some limitation damage on the lay so the real cost was around £100 or so   ,  it was such a small stake in the first place -thank heavens.

With the back bet a couple of weeks ago i got very lucky , it just came in - one minute it was dead ,then the next it was - well ,a winner !

There was a forumite once who layed a 250/1 shot or something or the Sister in Law **** Giggs to be SPOTY, I'd loved to have been the backer but sadly it wasn't me, Giggs was the wrong winner for more reasons than one, it was sentimental, and he has no...yeah yeah you guessed it.

if i had been on the england game and happened to have  the 2-3 on my book wouldnt have seen value and time to trade. well done.

cheers colonelll

feel for those that had interest on the 2-2 or even the 1-2   - those scores were barely in play for more than a few seconds

one of those freak scorelines 

lol absolutely a crazy game, and on top of that it is a friendly. could have never imagined players motive to rush for goals.

indeed,which is why the odds were very long i think

580/1..r/f...grand national  ...about 2003/4

An acca of 5 away wins sometime back in the early 90's !

What bumped it up was Port Vale winning away at Wolves at 4/1 when they were both in The Championship.

The total odds were 240/1 ....... and, yes, I only put a quid on.

In the 70's there used to be a bet called the ITV7, basically seven televised races and most of the bookies took them. the aim was to get all seven winners bit like tote jackpot or the scoop six. Had a consolation dividend for first 5 and six winners.

I used to do a perm every week but on this occasion it was the last sat of the factory holidays and I was skint except for 50p. Borrowed 10p off the mrs so I could get the paper which was 8p at the time. Did a perm 48 x 1p lines with two bankers in the last two races.

Can't remember all the prices but started off with something like 9/2, 3/1, 100/30 then had two horse going in a ladies race both trained by Henry Cecil. One was 7/4 fav ridden by Elaine Mellor and the other was 20/1. The 20/1 shot got up in a photo to beat the fav. The bet got serious then and all I was thinking of was getting the consolation for 5 winner. The fifth horse went in so started sweating then. In the end had £500 going on the last horse which was 4/1 in a 5 horse race. It was named Oriental Rocket and was ridden by Ron Muddle. Anyway I was worried when he went straight into the lead over a mile and a half but amazingly he stayed 2 lengths up all the way to the line. Got just over £1500 for a 1p line - that's 150,000/1.

Lot of money then., but sods law dictated that I was skint and could only afford a 1p perm. Great feeling though nonetheless.

Went to Laddies to get paid and was told I had to wait until the following Friday for a cheque. Met a mate on the way home who took me for a bevvie to celebrate.

great story crystal. 150,000 to 1 awesome! biggest for me was 2 quid on 28/1 stunning free kick in portugal 2nd div last year for a . was well buzzing:-)

Happy Days Crystal .Must have been a years wages!

Odd to think of ITV taking an interest in Racing . Seems like the BBC aren't even going to bother next year.

Back then Tobes, the ITV 7 was a mere prelude to the big event of the weekends sporting calendar - Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks bouncing each other off turnbuckles.

Great story by the way, Crystal.

Correction - I had £300 going on the last horse.

Wished I'd have done more with the money - probably gave plenty back - but felt like a millionaire for months - became a bit of a celebrity in the factory.

Nearly got the same bet up a few weeks later - had the first 6 up and waiting on a big field handicap - commentator called my horse in the lead so kept my eye on it - lead all the way but the comentator changed the name in the last furlong - seems like there were 2 horses with similar colours. Would have been for £2k - smaller odds but bigger stake. Got about £60 for the consolation.

Got 3 main numbers and 2 lucky stars on euromillions before.Just checked it up and the true odds are actually 11771/1.
Absolutely mega odds for a 60 odd quid payout

great story Crystal

183/1 on that 1st scottish qualifying round cup acca earlier this season

28/1 when Spurs came back from 1-0 down in the last couple of minutes to beat Leicester a few years ago

28/1 when Spurs came back from 1-0 down in the last couple of minutes to beat Leicester a few years ago

I had £2.21p on Crianza at 1000-1 earlier last year I think it was. Funniest thing about it was, it was a mistake in my trading and I didn't realise until about 1 out that I'd made it when it was forging clear! With trading was about 5.5k green on it and desperately tried to lay some off ended up with about 4.9k on Crianza and 1k on all the other runners as it past the post. Couldn't believe my luck. Happy days

Probably today. Had 188/1 double on Alderwood and Brindisi breeze. 50p ew double with a treble waiting on Kauto Star @ 4/1. Now that could have been a story....

got 74-1 une artiste this week and 340-1 cabrera the year he won us open.2quid on em both and laid cabrera off for half!

Catford dogs...it was a John Humphries  night back in about 1982/83.Traps 1-5 got to the first bend in equal time according to the form. The only WIDE dog in trap six was a 3 legged mongrel with absolutely rubbish times before and didn't stand a chance according to the bookies.
My prediction that traps 1,2,3,4,5 would all fall over each other at that first bend came true and my 50/1 shot came round the outside and held on all the way to the finish....quality as I was only 15 or 16 at the time...I was hooked.

a lay of Federer at 1.03 also springs to mind

Done a couple of scorecasts, had about 280/1. Otherwise I was very pleased to get 55s on Blackburn HT/FT against Man U earlier this season, backed them to lead at ht at 16s as well

100/1 Arsenal v Man Utd 4-2 correct scoreline about 8 years ago!

120/1 Charl Schwartzl was my biggest odds win too, was a guess to be honest and part of some £2 punts on the masters. Correct score markets have always offered my best returns though, I love a 3-1 scoreline.

very good odds there jedi considering how good Arsenal were at the time .

bookies ?

I remember Flakey Dove (Champion Hurdle)at 11/1 followed by the The Fellow Ggold Cup) at 7/1,

1989 Derby. £150 E/W Terimon @ 1000/1. The wife was on it large, too, and so was Mop n Pop.

I did 50 poind Accum on Nicky Henderson 4 horses that won in cheltenham, i placed the bet ante post before Xmas...
Won 1.2 million

pound

500/1 gareth southgate getting the boro managers job

Had a double on Arsenal to win Div 1 (16/1) and Chelsea to win Div 2 (6/1). Placed bet in 1988 at start of season. Stake was £1 and I was sh1tting myself collecting because I was not even old enough to bet and thought that they would ask for Id or something!

Had a large double of Mr Mulligan and Make a Stand at cheltenham in 1997 at odds of 20/1 and 7/1 respectively. Had numerous bets including one or both of these including one that came to in excess of 3000-1 and included a NR!!!!!!!!! Won a lot of money that day.

Also Won £1019 with a £2ew fourfold. The great thing with this one is that I fished out 4
8-runner races and tried to nick £40 or so in place money to have a beer after work. They all won and it was hilairous in as much as I felt like I wasn't even trying for the win money!!!

Fulham were cruising at 2-0 against OB earlier in the season in the Europa league and just as OB were lining up a free kick on the edge of Fulhams area I decided to lay Fulham at 1.02.  They scored from the free kick and went on to get the equaliser with the last kick, or head if memory serves me right, of the game.

My first bet on betfair was about 3 years ago, didn't know a lot about horse racing but bet £10 on templegates tips from the sun lol, was a treble but i didn't like the look of the third horse so also did a double on the first two and to my surprise they all came in and total payout was £1400, can't remember the odds but was complete beginners luck.

Bet you've given it all back with interest

can't remeber the game, it was south american game at about 2am when i was drunk and the away team was 3-0 up at half time. i layed them (by accident i may add) for a liabilty of 100 and got 10000 back

130/1 Derek Lamely winning the Puerto Roco Open last year
But i once won over £2100 for a £6.40 (64 X 10P PERMS) on a placepot at Cheltenham, i think it was the day War of Attrition won the Gold Cup.

Backed 7 goals or more in Nottinham Forest v Blackpool  at 380 on 11/05/2010
