Punter wins £27,190 from a £5 each way bet with Cheltenham around the corner
A PUNTER turned £10 into a whopping £27,190 following the racing in Johannesburg today.
The bettor backed all five winners at Turffontein Racecourse after laying down £5 each way.
Only four hours separated the five races, meaning the Betfair customer didn't have to wait long to scoop up the huge winnings.
The odds of Gilded Butterfly (10:20), Dance Lesson (10:55), Anatura (11:30), Have A Go Jo (12:40) and Insatiable (13:50) all to win were 5400/1.
This success story from South Africa has emerged with Cheltenham Festival just around the corner.
Ahead of Cheltenham we have many punters who are on the brink of big wins.
A better faces the agonising wait to see if he wins £275,000 from just a fiver.
This bet slip features five horses running at the Festival after he backed them at much bigger odds before they turned into short-priced favourites.
Sun Racing told you of another who needs one horse to win to turn a fiver in £9,000.
The punter has already landed 10-1, 13-2 and 5-1 winners as part of their four-fold.
They now need current Champion Bumper second-favourite American Mike to win to land £9,281.25 from a fiver and see the 1,855-1 bet come in.
While one punter can land a big payday without their horses even running at Cheltenham.
