ardwick1888 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'd be devastated if I were him. 1 million is the maximum payout at WH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 So, if he'd've calculated his odds beforehand, he might've got away with only paying 28p f'rinstance? Hope the bookies pay out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossi_1983 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Heard about this in the bookies yesterday! Odds of 2 million to 1 Can't believe it came in, and congrats to the guy. Although I bet the bookies will make money in the long run, due to the influx of new punters who think it will be easy to do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Bookies must love things like this. William Hill are delighted with the publicity.They could have limited the payout to ?100,000 as there were foreign races in the winning bet.Compared with banks and insurance companies bookies are angels.

Ivan Drago Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The smart man would have put 2 bets on then. ha ha good point hughesie! apparently the total odds were 2,798,000 to 1 or something, so if he could have won over a mil he'd have got(gets calculator out) ?1,399,000.

That's a bit tight. Why put limits on payouts? They make enough money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
