A Betfair punter enjoyed a remarkable return from a £1 stake on Wednesday as all eight of his selections obliged for a return of £103,611.
The punter staked 50p each-way on an eight-fold accumulator consisting of six races from Catterick’s Flat card and two races from Wexford’s jumps fixture.
The punter took the price on all eight of his selections, of which six were priced at 9-2 or shorter including Broomfield Bijou
, who got the accumulator off to the perfect start when making a successful chasing debut in Wexford’s opener.
Attention then switched to Catterick where Easy Peeler
, Chuti Manika and Harmonia
were all fairly gettable winners having been sent off favourite or joint-favourite for their respective races.
However, Catterick’s 7f handicap produced an inspired selection from the punter in Swinging Eddie
, who had been winless on the turf since victory at Beverley in May last year.
The Grant Tuer-trained eight-year-old was rated 1lb lower than that success and also from his last victory on the all-weather at Wolverhampton in December though, and did strike off a 7lb higher rating at Catterick in August 2021.
The bet
2.28 Wexford
- Broomfield Bijou 11-8 WON
2.40 Catterick - Easy Peeler 5-6 WON
3.10 Catterick - Chuti Manika 11-8 WON
3.40 Catterick - Harmonia 2-1 WON
4.10 Catterick - Swinging Eddie 20-1 WON
4.40 Catterick - Fuzrig 11-4 WON
5.10 Catterick - One Of Our Own 9-2 WON
5.28 Wexford
- Three By Two 18-1 WON
*Prices taken by the punter rather than SP.
Swinging Eddie got back to winning ways at the North Yorkshire venue before Furzig
got up to score by a nose in the following 1m4f handicap to provide the punter with a brief scare.
One Of Our Own
secured just her second success from 22 starts in Catterick’s finale to complete the set on the six-race card in sensational fashion for the punter, whose final leg came in Wexford’s closing 3m1½f handicap chase with Three By Two
.
Denis Murphy’s mare had beaten only one of her 12 rivals over 2m3½f at the same track 11 days earlier, but the significant step up in trip was clearly expected to yield an improved showing given that the eight-year-old’s SP halved to 9-1 from the 18-1 the punter managed to get earlier in the day.
Three By Two took the lead under Richard Deegan turning for home in foggy conditions and held on to score by a length and a quarter from Bearwithmenow to secure a six-figure profit for the punter in a three-hour timeframe.
On the big win, Betfair spokesman Barry Orr said: ‘’What a mesmerising three-hour spell for the small stake big-winning customer but I imagine they were watching the last leg from behind the sofa. It’s a fantastic achievement and we wish them the very best of luck.’’

@swifty - that's hardly the type of bet any bookie would restrict? Came in this time, but classic mug punter stuff (and yes, I've done enough of it). The margin on an 8-fold acca is huge, and most of them end up being free money to the bookie?

Pros and cons of this type of bet.
Pros, You won’t go skint Something to do every morning picking your selections Keeps you interested in the sport Harmless hobby. Cons Probably need to wait 20 years for it to maybe come in No smaller returns en route to at least make it interesting. Why have a hobby that keeps you involved,if everyday,you aren’t involved. Imagine if 7 win and last one loses,then 5 years later 6 win and 2 lose. You’re not really an horse racing enthusiast. Better off just doing numbers, |

tremendous advice a week after he picks all 8.
meanwhile back in the real world a 'harmless' 2p goliath is going to hit you for £5 a day, £150 a month, £1,800 a year. lot of money for some people, did i say harmless. |

Odd, that just before a 'big' meeting some chump wins a small fortune with one of the books.
Appear to take it in turn but it's all hype and ball-tickling for all of 'em. fully expect another 'miracle' win leading up to Glorious Goody smile - it's candida camera. |

taken 8/11 our friends at starsports lay a £100k bet at Goodwood.
meanwhile back in the real world ... cnts |

hulk, it does add up but it's more likely over time he'd get more back from 2p. goliaths then an 8fold acca

What swifty said - enough of the doubles, trebles ought to come in over time that you get something back.
If, as a hobby, you want something relatively inexpensive to do, there are worse ones - doesn't cost much, you can sit in the warm/air-conditioned betting shop all afternoon, use their RP for nothing, have an interest in all the races. |
