Biggest Betting Wins/Losses

[Frank Dux]

Apologies if we have done this before. What are you biggest ever winnings on a bet. I only do Spead Betting & won about £300 once on selling Veron's player performance & he played shite. Lost about £190 last year on Huddersfields season performance though!

Also not sure if anyone ever looked at that speadadvice.co.uk but I decided to copy every bet that they offered (although not such high stakes) & won about £400 each month for a couple of months! They are currently being investigated by the FSA at present mind so no more tips

I will win £420 if we win the league though!!

I lost a ton before but can't remember on who.I also picked out 5 away winners at £2.I got back just short of a ton.That was when you had to pay tax.I also had a sixth team down but crossed it off for being to greedy.They came in as well.It would of given me a return of £275

Little Polvier in the 1989 Grand National.

I put 20p on and took £8 back.

At the age of 12 that's pretty impressive stuff

won just under £400 on the FA cup manure v Millwall, did 1st scorer, half time and full time result

Also Derby game won £70ish on 1st scorer, half time and full time result

£5 win double 14-1 & whatever else gives just over £500.
Then the following week another £5 win double, & got back just under £400.

Biggest 'near miss':-
When I was a kid (16-17) £10 win treble @ Chester.
Merango 9-2, Bay bay 7-2, then The Thirst Farmer quite long odds, got done in a photo by Grey Salute. I was poohing bricks!!

Biggest loss in 1 race £70, over all, I'd hate to think.

During my 2 w/end wins, some of my friends expected to help me share in my good fortune. Leading to an embrassing (for him) situation @ the chinese take away. Which we'd gone to collect & he hadn't brought any money out to pay for his own.
I asked if he was prepared to pay a % of all my losing bets, he declined so I refused to pay him a % of my winning ones.
