There have been big betting wins flying around all over the place lately and this week a pensioner from Corby landed a £134,000 payout on the races. John Walters has been a regular player of the Betfred Tote Scoop6, the prediction game where punters try and correctly select the winner of the six nominated races.

Whoever can do that on a given week will share the winning prize pot that is currently up. Walters, 72, was one of six winners on the Tote and claimed £34,009 – but because he put his £8 bet on at Betfred, which owns the Tote, the bookie has paid him a £100,000 bonus.

Betfred boss Fred Done said: “I am a great believer in loyalty and John’s been with us 20 years so it’s fantastic for him that we’ve virtually quadrupled his winnings.”

Retired design engineer John, who is a father-of-two and has four grandchildren, said “Virtually all my life and certainly for 20 years or more I have been doing the Scoop6.

“I won it once before 11 years ago and picked up £800. To get £100,000 extra because I’m the only winner with Betfred is just fantastic.

Here’s how the Betfred regular got himself in the money:

– Leg 1, 12.55 at Haydock won by 25/1 shot Deep Sand
– Leg 2, 1.30 at Haydock won by Waiting Patiently
– Leg 3, 2.35 Lingfield won by inzolo
– Leg 4, 3.15 Haydock Bristol De Mai won by 22 lengths
– Leg 5, 3.50 Haydock won by Baltique
– Leg 6, 4.20 at Haydock won by Dudesintrouble
