Racing punter turns 52p bet into 12,000 payout in nightmare' for bookies
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"A punter has put down a dream bet to defy the odds and turn just 52p into a near 12,000 payout. The unnamed bettor landed seven winners in a remarkable multiple bet across four racecourses on Saturday, producing a windfall of 11,777.04 The punter had placed a 26p each-way eight-fold accumulator with bookmaker William Hill, selecting horses running at Haydock, Kempton, Ascot and Stratford."
"The winning run began at Haydock, where Zeus Olympios, backed at 4-1, won the opener before Valiancy struck in the 1m6f handicap. Attention then turned to Kempton, where Five Ways edged the Sirenia Stakes by a nose at 5-1, followed by Caprelo, who powered three lengths clear in the 2m handicap. Abloom provided the only Ascot success at 11-2, before the bet moved to Stratford's evening card."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and deploys reporters to developing stories across the US. The outlet investigates financials such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent avoids paywalls and relies on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and to present both sides of stories. A punter placed a 26p each-way eight-fold accumulator with William Hill, had one horse withdrawn, and saw the remaining seven selections win across Haydock, Kempton, Ascot and Stratford. The sequence produced a payout of £11,777.04.
