A William Hill customer landed a huge bet this Bank Holiday weekend as their 5p Goliath bet returned nearly £12k.

Even luckier for the winner, Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) made up £7k of their returns.

The punter’s Goliath bet which was made up of 247 5p bets saw the first selection Oh Yes You Do at Goodwood on Saturday lose, yet still walk away with £11,777.95.

But five won in a row after that with Just Keep Flying (12/1), Tiva (6/1), Grey Skies (11/1), Queen All Star (13/2) and Arabian Crown (9/2) fired home at Goodwood, Newmarket, Cartmel, and Windsor.

It is perhaps even more fortunate they placed a Goliath bet as the final two also lost, meaning an accumulator would have been lost in the first leg of the bet.

The punter paid out at those prices would have collected £4,019.90.

But thanks to the BOG, which pays out if your selection runs off at a bigger SP the bettor landed another £7k.

Grey Skies was bet at 11/1 but went off at a staggering 22/1 which really boosted the winnings.

Similarly, Tiva went from 6/1 when bet on to running off at a 9/1 SP and Arabian Crown went from 9/2 to 11/2 with BOG.

Hills have been licking their wounds this Bank Holiday weekend as another customer hit them for £14,758.83 from a £20 four-fold.

The racing bet winner picked out for in a row at York’s Friday meeting with Trawlerman, Lifeplan, Asfoora and Cape Flora all obliging in a row.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “We’ve really had to duck for cover recently with two big multiples landing on consecutive days. These are two smashing bets, and we have to congratulate both racing punters who have found a fistful of winners and come away with more than a fistful of cash.

“Landing a Goliath of big-priced winners is no mean feat and Saturday’s winning punter was rewarded by a significant winnings hike thanks to Best Odds Guaranteed. With several of their winners going off at bigger SPs than their taken prices, they pocketed an extra £7,758.05 to take their total winnings to close to £12k.

“To turn £20 into the best part of £15k is brilliant betting too, especially on such a competitive day of racing at York, and we’re sure both punters had a bank holiday weekend to remember.”
