ONE Betfair customer walloped the bookies with an ‘extraordinary’ racing punt that landed a colossal payout.
And, miraculously, the £2 each way bet came home in the space of just 20 magical minutes on Saturday.
PAAmbiente Friendly was one of the four remarkable winner[/caption]
All in all the punter took home £54,000 after all four of their selections won.
It started when the appropriately named Crazy Luck won a 6f fillies’ handicap at odds of 10-1 at Nottingham.
Ambiente Friendly put in an amazing performance to scoop the Derby Trial at Lingfield at 8-1.
Xanthe was hesitant to go into the stalls in a 5f novice at York but eventually rocketed home at 8-1.
That meant it was all down to 22-2 Pickanumber in the Haydock Swinton Handicap Hurdle.
Boodles winner Lark In The Mornin was making his reappearance but never got near the jaw-dropping winner who scooted home by 15 lengths under 5lb claimer Dylan Johnston.
Amazingly the biggest-priced winner of the lot was the easiest winner of all.
And it meant the 20,492-1 four-timer was landed in spectacular style.
Bookies were licking their wounds after the pasting – but Betfair’s Barry Orr said ultimately they just had to doff their cap to the punter.
He said: “Quite an extraordinary bet and what a whirlwind 20 minutes it was for the customer.
“Inspired choices or crazy luck, either way, he’s landed a magnificent bet and we wish them the very best.”
