Punter misses out on £1m Royal Ascot payout with Ladbrokes

Final legs fails massive acca

Bookmaker News

It has been a really good Ascot Festival and for one punter from Dunstable, Bedfordshire it could have been even better. The horse racing fan had placed a seven-fold acca and with their final prediction not delivering, they missed out on a staggering £1m payout from Ladbrokes.

The punter had played a £40 stake (a 5 each way acca and a Super Heinz) and with the first six predictions in the bet all coming to the good, it left the mammoth payout all resting on the shoulders of Bound for Nowhere an 8/1 shot in the Commonwealth Cup.

The horse, however, came fourth behind winner and race favourite Caravaggio. So no payout and only dreams of what could have been, left.

The bet in full:

Lady Aurelia 7-2
Barney Roy 5-2
Qemah 5-2
Highland Reel 11-4
Coronet 7-1
Big Orange 8-1
Bound For Nowhere 8-1
