Biggest win at the bookies

[matthew]

Nearly winning £5000 last week got me thinking.

So NSC what's the most you've won at the bookies?

 

[Titanic]

Did you win nearly £5000, or nearly win £5000? In which case hard luck, or well done!

 

[matthew]

NEARLY won £5,000

 

[Spun Cuppa]

About 33 quid

Two winners and a non-runner in a 20p. Lucky 15

Not quite Tony B proportions of course

 

[happypig]

twelve pounds !

 

[dannezz]

£50 several times, £2 on a 6 game goal rush at ladbrokes, always a good punt in my eyes.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Come on! Don't be shy! Just because some on here give it LARGE about winning a bag of longs(?), it's the not so large wins that should be posted as well

 

[porkypie]

About £6000 on a horse called sainglend @ windsor a few yrs ago!

 

[Falkor]

£700 from a £20 bet

 

[Max Paper]

I won £500 quid a couple of weeks ago on a 50p ew lucky 15, 3 winners and one loss (if that loss had of come in I would have won 11k)

Also a few years back, I got 14 out of 15 football results correct on a Saturday. The 15th was the Carling Cup final the next day. Chelsea vs Spurs. If Chelsea would have won as expected, I would have won 21k. They didn't...

£6000 the most so far, come on NSC!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Won £35 for 50p. on Worthing FC's Golden Goal punt about three years ago

 

[BlueSeagull]

I had 2 , one was I put a fiver on England to win the 2005 Ashes 2-1 and got odds of 45/1, I picked up £230 with that one! The other was an Albion match couple years earlier I think, I had Brighton 2 Sheffield Wednesday 0 and Leon Knight to score 1st, again a fiver. Knight put us in front, but with a couple mins left, Chris McPhee of all people scored the 2nd! giving me £180! Though hopefully I'll get a bigger win in the next couple of days, as I went for a job interview with Coral last week to be an assistant manager, I'll hear in the next few days. Fingers crossed.

I won three grand by mistake

 

[LowKarate]

Won £500 from a £20 stake on a 6 match accumulator about 15 years ago. Probably worth about £800+ in today's money.

Like most people though. despite some usually successful bets on the Grand National, I would have to say that I've lost more than I've won.

[Poyetry In Motion]

I won £20 on a scratchcard years ago.
The most I get now (from lay betting) is £2.00 each time. Today I have won £14 so far, so cannot complain!

That's crazy, what a day!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

About £1500 on the Albion in the Double Championes season

Yep! The family holiday to Egypt was nice as well and given how much I normally bet I think I'm pretty much up for life!
