Betfair bettor wins big with double on 100/1 and 150/1 Royal Ascot champions

The Witch Punter: Betfair Customer Wins £15,900 from a £2 Stake

In an incredible turn of events at Royal Ascot, one Betfair customer managed to win a whopping sum of £15,900 from just a measly stake of £2. The punter’s impressive victory came as he backed not one but two horses with incredibly high odds.

Valiant Force was the first horse that the lucky punter placed his bet on. Despite its long-shot chance of winning at 150/1, Valiant Force managed to secure a victory in the opening Norfolk Stakes. But it didn’t stop there – the same customer went on to take another risk by backing Witch Hunter in the concluding Buckingham Palace Stakes at even higher odds of 100/1.

To everyone’s astonishment and delight, Witch Hunter also claimed an unlikely victory and secured for the customer an amazing payout. Speaking about this remarkable betting achievement, Betfair Spokesman Barry Orr said: “Two scintillating selections and on the same day that King Charles had his first Royal Ascot winner.”

Orr continued by stating: “There is something otherworldly about picking such high-odds winners so he will be forever known to us as ‘Witch Punter’”. This nickname affectionately refers to this lucky person who has now become somewhat legendary due to their extraordinary success in placing these bets with such long odds.

“Fortunately for him,” adds Orr reassuringly,”he took 100/1 about Witch Hunter because that didn’t go unbacked and at an SP of 50/1 returned at half those odds.”
