Biggest Priced Winner You Have Ever Bet?

150/1 in the golf... Pre tournament.

Biggest horse price was 70's I think... Forgot its name now ?

Who do you fancy for Players championship mate? I like the odd bet on the golf but don`t follow it closely enough. Another 150/1 shot e/w would do

Beech road champion hurdle, 66s

Got 100/1 Solway Sam at Aintree on a family day out 4yrs ago my biggest price winner by a long way.Strange feeling cos only had a fiver on him but probably gave me more satisfaction than the much bigger wins i have had.

Although not in prime form I think Hunter Mahan is overpriced.

Hugely tough tournament to win however.

Thanks mate, appreciate that win or lose. Better than me guessing. I know it`s a difficult tournament, some call it the 5th Major, no? 100/1 first 6 will do me! Place would be nice Good luck.

Zach Johnson when he won the Masters @ 175's

Biggest price ( I think ) was backing Middlesborough to qualify IR @ 3-0 down v bucharest - uefa semi 2006 . Only had a few quid on and can't remember the exact price 150 - 200 ish ?

Backed a few horse winners @ 80/1 + on here ... stone of folca (02/06/12) , italian tom (21/08/10) spring to mind

at a short price for the players is snedeker @ 50.s ticks all the stat boxes in form and a class act

at a more reasonable 100/1 bill hass again ticks the right boxes mulyible tour winner also fed ex cup winner

my biggest price winner was here 2008 ist day of ascot was going to lump on to obriens in the last but he was an odds on shot so threw a few quid on two outsiders....a balding horse and a johnston horse johnstons won @ 66/1 but was offered at a 450/1 here....i had 7 quid on it i think.....helm bank was the horse i think

Jacqulines Quest

There is a surprise AD.......wheelchair............death etc?

FFS how deep do you dig?

Forgot race.

Best on a single was 118/1 on Mome Mone on Betfair.
I also once did an £8 forecast/£2 tricast perm on Kayf Aramis/Overstrand/Monolith in 4.25 York on 18/5/2006.
Return to £60 stake was over £8k. Happy days!

Laid MR HUNT several times at 999/1...........does that count?

I had £25 on here at 160 and £25 with Spoils (Double result) at 100/1 Tom fancied it e.w. Worst 1000 Guineas ever between the first 11 home between them  they ran something like 30-40 races and the winner won a moderate race after and the 7th or 8th won a handicap the other 9 never won another race again.

that was a travesty ad or was it because the owner was colored.......delete my positives for haas in players as missus is ready to calf and in this eventuality he said he will slope off for the birth

it wasnt me unfortunately but in the supreme about 5 years ago a punter new to bf placed a bet on noland in running @ 7.8 a layer offered 1000 at the same time as ruby was flat to boards.....ruby flew the hill collarng strawbear the punter checking his ac sees 12000 thought it was fcuk up

Did you know before the race.............Anything AD?

I did and posted.

Auroras Encore at 220 in February and all the way down to 130

WD Judo.......I hope we are ok m8 and all the rest,6 days ago I found a big.......growth in my groin.+

Bago in the Arc 55/1 on here. If I remember correctly, he drifted after finishing 3rd in the Prix Niel and there were rumours of him not running. SP was much shorter (around 10's I think).

SOLE POWER 350 ON HERE £2 BUT A GUD CHUNK AT AROUND 280's when it won NUNTHORPE did post evidence b4

180's on Milk it Mick in the Dewhurst pre race as it had no chance,for the princely sum of £2..damn it!

Derek Lameley Puerto Rico Open Golf at 150/1 in Madmsxkellys golf competition. I needed a big winner to qualify for the next stage,i have backed him many times since his win but never come close.
Very rarely gets a Par, birdie or a bogey kind of golfer.
When he won for me he shot -15 for /his last 2 rounds.

I backed one before the off at 1000 a few years ago, in fact it is running today in the 16:05 Goodwood

Mon Mome,Summoner @ 100/1 but the bet that I will always remember is Tennessee 11 ,I got £145.53 back for every £1 invested.

about BFSP 270.0 ish / 100/1 books the one below


fav wouldnt go in stall - 20p rule 4  - something like 25% reduction factor on here

yes - Arcangues here too.  We were watching it in a clubhouse , betting in 50p stakes against each other. I broke him with that !        Chose it for the beautiful classy name.

Had a tenner at 200/1 with the Jack Adams firm on the Charles Pogson-trained winner of the selling hurdle final at Sedgefield toward the end of the 1990s.

Never been paid out more grimly. Tried to strike up a conversation in my finest London accent, but that seemed to make the fellow even less happy.

There was no bid for the winner.

Thank you, delta.

Can look up my notes now you've isolated the race for me.

Only went to Sedgefield because Newton Abbot was waterlogged, so was very lucky. My paddock note for the winner was "fat", but most northern horses were in those days, and it had won a mdn hdle on the track a couple of years earlier. So with the first-time tongue tie, you could just make out a case. I priced it at 100/1, so had to have something on at 200s. Had 40 score the second as well.

Had a £1000 to £60 the last winner too, Tony Dobbin making all on a Barry Murtagh hurdler called Salinger.

Whatever happened to days like that?

And how the hell did I get back from Darlington to my parents' home in Slough after an evening meeting, then get to Uttoxeter the next afternoon?

Oh to be 15 years younger again.

you should have had a f/c too 100's + 33's


DF £711.50; CSF £1672.44;

Y E Yang 2009 P G A Championship. Some one put up £22 at a 1000 pre the tournament so took that thinking he was about a 200/1 shot, intended to lay off through the event which I did with most of it. Kept £3.00 of it at a 1000. Yang hit one of the best fairway woods(hybrid I think) to the final hole to within about 10 feet to secure victory. I couldn't believe it, he came from behind to beat Tiger Woods which in those days was virtually unheard of. Golf events are pretty good for things like that, you can often find some good outsiders at decent prices for small stakes pre tourney and lay them off in running over the 4 days and get some good returns and an interest in the event for a few days.

Well done, Llamedos.

Delta, if I'd been having forecasts with returns as dreadful as that, I would have been working for a living.
