is this a bot or a bookie trying to hoover up 'free money'? Who has the capacity to risk so much for so little gain - even if you think the result is a foregone conclusion?

Imagine the blokes reaction when he is looking at a screen with £165K RED on a horse that is trading odds on seconds later

someone with fast pictures Pushkin

Sees the jockey is coming off, so it is out of the race and can be safely layed at 1000, thats why the guy with regular pictures is asking for 2.1 as he hasn't seen the incident yet.

Not seen it yet but apparently jockey hung on like a rodeo rider and got back in the saddle

but yes - as u say , 'Imagine the blokes reaction' : that is worth thinking about for a moment

they don't void those no

The big void was the guy who put up a  £21,000,000 lay .That was as he only had a few hundred in his account and it was system screw up

Wow! Unbelievable tekkers by the jockey. Tough luck to the punter but like everyones already said why the hell would you punt £165k only to win £165...crazy. Fair play to him tho got to have some serious nuts to even contemplate that bet! Here I am brickin' it over a £5 flutter on Jason Dufner in the golf, lol!
