Punter lands life-changing sum after placing £6 bet on four horses
A lucky punter turned a £6 bet into a cool £23,715.15 after landing the touch of a lifetime over the weekend. William Hill are reeling after a £6 each-way four-fold on Saturday's action from Haydock emptied their pockets. The bet got off to the perfect start when Danny Tudhope steered 6/1 shot Stressfree to win the opening race by a neck. This was quickly followed by Kodi Lion scoring at 7/1 to make it two from two for the punter. There was then a couple of hours' wait before the brilliantly-named Oolong Poobong obliged at odds of 6/1 in the 4.08 race. The punter had taken 6/1 about Organ in the finale when placing the bet, but having opted in to William Hill's Best Odds Guaranteed concession, they received 9/1 instead, which saw their winnings boosted by £7,097.82 when the horse fully won the final leg of the bet. William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps said: 'There's nothing like turning £12 into five figures after landing a multiple on a Saturday afternoon's racing, and this punter has done just that in style. All four picks went in without a hiccup at Haydock and they've walked away with a cracking payout of £23,715.15. 'And that's not all either, as thanks to having opted in to William Hill's Best Odds Guaranteed concession, the punter received a bigger price on their final pick than they'd taken when placing the bet, increasing their winnings by more than £7,000! It just goes to show what Best Odds Guaranteed can do and we take our hats off to this punter for landing this memorable bet.'

Racing punter wins massive sum from ‘stunning' £12 bet as beaten bookies say ‘there's nothing like it'
Commercial content notice: Taking one of the betting offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun. 18+. T&Cs apply. 'MEMORABLE' Racing punter wins massive sum from 'stunning' £12 bet as beaten bookies say 'there's nothing like it' A RACING punter hit the bookmakers for a five-figure payday after a 'memorable' Saturday bet. It can be pretty difficult to land even one winner on the Flat action at this time of year. 2 Kodi Lion winning the second race at Haydock to help William Hill punter hit bookies for five figures Credit: PA But it all came together for this William Hill bettor, who would land a quite remarkable four-fold across the action from Haydock. Better yet, the decision to opt for Best Odds Guaranteed saw their returns increase by nearly 50% and enough for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday from just a £6 each-way (£12 total) punt. However it very nearly was all over in the first, with Stressfree for Danny Tudhope and David O'Meara getting up just in time in the opener. The 6/1 shot ran on well and needed every yard of the 1m4f contest to get up in the dying strides and deny Shane Foley aboard Kildare Legend. The perfect start for this bettor but given the nature of the victory and this one being the joint-shortest odds of the four selections, the confidence probably wasn't sky high. That will have changed just over half an hour later when Kodi Lion - picked at 7/1 and went off 5/1 - came home in front over 6f to make it two from two in the bet. The Mick Appleby runner was in a group of four charging down the near side, with the front three all coming from that group, racing against a group of 12 on the opposite side of the track. 2 Oolong Poobong winning the penultimate race before Organ's win in the last landed the bet Credit: PA Those tactics worked a treat as Kodi Lion took it up with over a furlong to go and stayed on well to win by a length. An anxious wait until the 4.08 when the excellently named Oolong Poobong was the pick at 6/1 in the 11-runner contest. Over the Haydock seven furlongs, Connor Beasley's ride made headway 3f from home and looked to be in a battle with favourite Arabian Leopard. Jamie Spencer's charge then bumped into another runner and was briefly outpaced, allowing Oolong Poobong to scoot ahead with 2f to go and stayed on well as Arabian Leopard rallied to score by two lengths. It all came down to the finale, with Organ drifting out to 9/1 before the off, with nine runners at the 1m start. William Buick was aboard the 11/10 favourite and attracted all the support and even looked like going the best with two furlongs to go. But after wandering around with one furlong remaining, Organ - who just nosed in front when being pushed along - edged right heading into the closing stages but was plugging on. Hot Cash at 17/2 was also staying on alongside the favourite but both would be denied by Harry Davies and Organ, who rounded off the four runner bet in style to win by half a length. With the drifts in price and best odds on offer, the punter would scoop a monster £23,715.15 in winnings - which included £7,097.82 extra from BOG. Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: 'There's nothing like turning £12 into five figures after landing a multiple on a Saturday afternoon's racing, and this punter has done just that in style. "All four picks went in without a hiccup at Haydock and they've walked away with a cracking payout of £23,715.15.

Punters sees ridiculous winnings from 25p bet TREBLED thanks to bookies
ONE canny William Hill customer had an Easter Monday to remember after scooping a staggering £21,383 from a modest 25p Lucky 15! Thanks to some shrewd selections - and a colossal boost from William Hill's Best Odds Guaranteed - the punter pocketed nearly £14,000 extra on top of their winnings. 1 The cheeky flutter, which turned into a life-changing payout, began with a bang when City Of Strangers bolted up in the 5.30pm at Redcar. Moments later, Battle It Out lived up to its name to claim the 5.40pm at Fairyhouse. Then came Dr Strangelove, who proved just the tonic in the 5.50pm at Kempton. Finally, the grand finale with Orchestra hitting all the right notes in the 6.20pm, also at Kempton. Without Best Odds Guaranteed and a 10% bonus for four winners, the return would've still been an impressive £7,391.72. But thanks to that savvy opt-in, the final payout soared to over £21K! Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: "We've been reminding customers to opt in to Best Odds Guaranteed and this is exactly why! "One shrewd punter combined four correct selections who all won within an hour of each other on Easter Monday, which would've seen them take home £7,391.72. "But thanks to them having opted in to Best Odds Guaranteed, they saw their winnings given a brilliant boost, jumping up to £21,383.73.

Easter Monday punter trebles winnings to £21,000 after taking best odds for 25p acca bet
The William Hill customer staked a total of £3.75 to put four horses in a Lucky 15 accumulator on races at Kempton, Fairyhouse and Redcar A punter trebled their winnings by taking best odds on four horses in an accumulator bet on Easter Monday. The William Hill customer turned a 25p Lucky 15 into £21,383.73, but nearly £14,000 of the sum was earned only because they opted for Best Odds Guaranteed. The bet got off to a flyer when City Of Strangers scored in the 5.30pm at Redcar at a starting price of 18-1, the punter having taken the shorter odds of 14-1. Battle It Out then won the 5.40pm from Fairyhouse. That horse returned at 8-1 but had been backed when the odds were 10-1. The third leg was won by Dr Strangelove in the 5.50pm from Kempton, scoring at an SP of 16-1, having been backed at 12-1. Then Orchestra captured the 6.20pm at Kempton at 16-1, double the 8-1 odds the punter had taken when placing the bet. At the prices taken and with a ten per cent bonus, the bet would've paid £7,391.72, but owing to the punter having chosen the best odds option and receiving a ten percent bonus for the four winners, the smart customer walked away with a cool £21,383.73. William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps, said: 'We've been reminding customers to opt in to Best Odds Guaranteed and this is exactly why. 'One shrewd punter combined four correct selections who all won within an hour of each other on Easter Monday, which would've seen them take home £7,391.72.

Grand National offers: A guide to the best Grand National betting offers
The 2025 Grand National takes place today with arguably the most famous contest in horse racing starting at 4pm. As one of the highlights of the UK sporting calendar, the Grand National attracts plenty of betting interest and we've picked out the best offers ahead of today's race. Betting sites go big on Grand National betting offers, and bettors can take advantage of a range of different promotions and bonuses. This article will unpack the best Grand National betting offers for both the race itself and the three-day meeting at Aintree. Most Popular Grand National Offers & Promotions Below, we've discussed the most common types of Grand National promotions that you'll find both during the meeting and across horse racing in general. Bet and Get: Some horse racing betting sites will give bettors a free bet when they wager a certain amount. For example, bet £10 on racing to receive a £5 free Grand National bet. Enhanced odds: UK bookmakers will often boost the odds of an individual runner or increase the price on a pre-built accumulator for racing. Extra places: Each-way backers can enjoy the benefit of extra place races, where the number of places paid out on for each-way bets is increased. This is particularly useful for big field races such as the Grand National. Sign up offers: Bookmakers will often give new customers horse racing free bets when they open an account. Check how free bets can be spent, as they can often be wagered on racing. Money back races: Back a horse in a money back race and if it doesn't win, bookies will refund your bet on certain conditions, such as if it finishes second or third, if it finishes second to the SP favourite or if it's beaten by just a neck. Best Odds Guaranteed: Many bookies strive to provide the best odds for Grand National races. This promotion guarantees that if you take an early price on a horse and the starting price (SP) is higher, the bookmaker will pay out at the better odds if your horse wins. Non-Runner No Bet: Back a horse in the ante-post market and if it doesn't run, you'll receive your money back. In addition, there will likely be some Grand National free bet offers running during the lead-up to the race. Best Grand National Offers This section will examine our favourite horse racing betting sites and the various Grand National bet offers and features they have available for the three-day meeting at Aintree. In addition to the offers detailed below, all of our recommended sites are Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) bookmakers too. 1. Bet365 Grand National Offers £30 in free bets: The entire Bet365 welcome bonus is eligible on racing and the Grand National.

Available up to 12-fold, Tote Multiples benefit from an SP Guarantee, giving you the better return between Tote dividends and SP odds on each leg. How to Choose the Best Grand National Offers One of the most important things to consider when betting on the race is to choose the right Grand National betting offers for you. Bettors should consider the following factors when looking at making a Grand National bet: Welcome Offers: Not every sign up offer from a bookmaker comes with free bets that can be wagered on horse racing. If you are looking to boost your betting balance for the Grand National via a sign up offer, check to make sure any free bets or bonuses can be used how you'd like. Terms and Conditions: Look for a Grand National betting offer with fair terms, such as no wagering on free bet winnings, long validity periods for free bets or reasonable minimum odds for qualifying wagers. Grand National Eligible: Check that the offer you want to use can be used in conjunction with betting on the Grand National. Some bookmakers exclude the race from certain offers. Permanent Offers: It's not just about the welcome offer. Check to see if the betting site you are interested in has ongoing offers for existing customers that you'd like to use. Also, check to see if the offers run all year round or if they're just for the Grand National. Responsible Gambling Betting should only ever be considered a form of entertainment – it will never be a reliable way to make money. Trying to pick the winner of the Grand National is extremely difficult, so never bet more than you can afford to lose. Betting can also be addictive, so please take steps to remain in control of your time and budget. Make sure you use the safer gambling tools offered by betting companies such as deposit limits, reality checks, loss limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. The same applies if you're gambling on casino sites, slot sites, bingo sites or any other type of gambling site. If you have gambling-related concerns, then seek independent help. There are several UK charities and institutions that offer support, advice and information, with a few listed below:
