Lambert is King 0 Posted February 24, 2010 I wonder if this guys celebrations were better than Lamberts last night when Oli scoredFor those of you who like a nice happy story and love to see the bookmakers get a hammering William Hill were reporting today ( radio Norfolk news ) that yesteday a guy placed an 11 team accumalator 50 p bet. He was about to rip his ticket up as 9 were in, Man Utd were winning 3 - 0 however his last team were Norwich to win at 4/9. Obviously up steps Oli thanks very much the guy won just over £101,000 for his 50 pence bet. Personally I think after he has bought Oli a quick pint, he should say thankyou properly by investing at least 1/2 his winnings in the club.Good luck to the guy well done and comiserations to William Hill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted February 24, 2010 Bloody hell! Who were the other teams he had? Charlton let me down for an 8 team and that would of paid 140 quid for 2quid bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted February 24, 2010 50p to £101,000 in only an 11 team accumalator, he must have had some good odds, looks impossible to me! everyweek i put £10 on a 10 team one and usually win once a season and the most i''ve won from that is about 3k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted February 24, 2010 It''s impossible to win 100k off a 50p 11 team accumulator. Especially with teams such as Man Utd in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambert is King 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Here is the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006hkf6Go to 2 mins 26 seconds, if you then want to find the whole story you will have to search, certainly on the news bulletins but definitely 11 50p and £100,000.

CDMullins 436 Posted February 24, 2010 For your credibitlity I can confirm a punter won £101,000.26 from a 50p line and his last team to win was the Canaries! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambert is King 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks CD. Maybe it was Smudger as hes been quiet tonight out celebrateing maybe. If it was I would have prefered Lappin to have scored the winning goal - bet he would have loved him forever then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 25, 2010 A 50p "perms" line must''ve had a total stake approaching £1,000 on that many teams, surely? So maybe not such a risk free little flutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
