What was your biggest Cheltenham winning bet ever ?

[mayo]

An Aftertiming thread for sure but hoping to bring up some feel good memories :triumphant:

Punjabi at an average of over 30s was my biggest single bet win.

MrMcGoldrick, Byrne plate [as it was then called] handicap chase, 66/1, serweeet:very_drunk:

Solditino 2010 Triumph. Backed it since end of November won me over 1k. Won on Baby Run that day aswell.

 

[MrMcGoldrick]

If we're looking for biggest winning amount then mine would be Hurricane Fly, 2013, started backing him the Saturday after the 2012 fez, stuck £10's and £20's on him regularly throughout the year and picked up serious coin when he won. I also had him in a few ew doubles with Long Run in the Gold cup, he finished 3rd, the place double was in the high three figures

Don't think I have ever backed a 66/1 winner :heart-borken:

Must have been massive in running. :very_drunk:

I couldn't believe it at the time, and neither could the manager at the Ladbrokes shop who took me into the back office to pay me out.
It could have been a lot worse for them though because I also had nim in an ew double with Undeniable [also from the Smith yard] at 33/1 and he finished 5th in a race paying ew the first 4:sorrow:

You guys are way better than me. My biggest was only 18/1 with CFever in the Bumper.

I think i would be too scared to lump on a 66/1.

:triumphant: it gets better you took it of Ladbrokes :highly_amused:

I happened to follow the Smith yard and I knew they thought he was thrown in after running against top class horses all of a sudden he was getting weight from those he would have been giving over a stone to a year earlier. Dominic Elsworth was put back on board and to me he had all the hallmarks of a handicap snip

It gets better than that as regards Ladbrokes mayo, when Dettori went through the card at Ascot I had a 10p super heinz on him, took them for just over 13k, would have been much more today because I put it on in the shop and didn't take any prices, Fujiyama Crest was his 7th winner, it was 12/1 when I put the bet on and went off at 2's

I was actually golfing with the C4 team in the summer and DE was playing in front. What's happened to him now?

I think he must be injured, has had quite a few problems, real shame that because if you watch him ride he's about the closest thing to Ruby Walsh you'll ever see, doesn't get the rides he should

Moral of these stories is to let yourself win big.

at least 3 33/1 winners last year not that I would have picked any of them.

I heard he was going to be launching some sports nutritution/ supplement venture thing with AP but don't know if it got going.

He seemed to be swinging the golf club alright.lol

I think you are right about not getting the rides he should. I am pretty sure that's what one of the guys told me in my group.

 

[Morning Glory]

I backed Nortons Coin !

 

[Bobsworth]

Faugheen was my biggest ever win last year as backed him at 16/1, 6/1 & 9/2 and he will be my biggest this year as on again at 12/1.

Biggest priced winner would be Salubrious at 25/1, seemed like I was the only one on course that backed him that day with everyone looking at me like I was a Loon as I was celebrating like a mad man.

 

[Old Vic]

I backed Nortons Coin !

have you backed any since

 

[stephensmith84]

Won about £170 on Bensalem at the festival a few years ago.

I've got a chance of lifting £810 on the first day with Willie Mullins. A Faugheen, Douvan and Un De Sceaux treble.
