There were two big winners through Sky Bet this week who landed themselves a nice Christmas present. The first punter to collect landed themselves a stunning profit of £22,240.85 from just a £15 bet from a 50 pence each-way Lucky 15 came up in under an hour of racing action.
The big payout was largely down to Sky Bet’s Best Odds Guaranteed concession which more than doubled the winnings. The bet got underway with Barton Gift striking home at 28/1 at Bangor-on-Dee for John Spearing and Andrew Thornton. Then an 18/1 chance in the form of Televi followed that up with a short-head victory at Chelmsford.
It was then over to Wolverhampton where the 12/1 success of Arize, took out odds-on favourite Tegara. That left the bet riding on the Stuart Williams trained Realize (11/4 fav) who ran out a relatively comfortable half length winner of the feature Weatherbys Stallion Book Conditions Stakes at Chelmsford City.
But the bad news continued for Sky Bet as a different punter earned just shy of £30,000 for a £12 stake. This totally inspired wager was a five pence each-way Super Heinz on the card at Bangor. The bet kicked off with the aptly named High Aspirations, but the 15/2 shot finished last of the eight runners. But then it was all on the up and up with Barton Gift’s victory was just a sign of what was to come as Newera (66/1), Back To The Thatch (28/1) and Arian (50/1) all obliged at huge prices.
Also included in the Super Heinz was Magic Mustard, which won at 10/1 and Premier Rose who finished second at 20/1.
Sky Bet’s Pr Racing Manager Michael Shinners said: “What a fantastic way to start the festive season.
“We take our hats off to the two customers who have managed to find some big-priced winners and put us on the ropes before we’ve even got to Boxing Day.”
