Punter out of luck

A North Belfast punter was out of luck not once but twice last week with Lucky 15 bets (below).
We begin with last Wednesday night’s bet and our punter placed a £2 Lucky 15 bet – an outlay of £30.
His first horse that night, TABOOR, scooted home at 10/1 to more than cover the outlay of the bet.
His next selection, SLIDAN 16/1, was beaten into fifth in the next but the bet received a boost when JUSTCALLMEHANDSOME  won the 7.50 at sevens.
The last selection, CASABLANCA MINX, won the 8.50 at 10/1 to secure a £1,834 payday – not a bad Thursday night’s work. But if his second leg had won you are talking £39,000, but it was well beaten.
The same punter went into the same Sean Grahams pitch the following night and did the same bet.
The bet got off to an absolute flyer when Hammer Of The Gods eased home at 14/1 in the 6.50 at Wolverhampton – what a start!
It got a whole lot better when Lucayan Dancer won the next at 10/1. Our punter had already banked over £300 and the sweat was on.
It got a whole lot better when the gritty Monkey Glas got back up after being headed to win at 4/1.
The sweat was well and truly on and our punter was waiting on Most Definitely. After a ding-dong battle with Kings Fable it was up to the judges to split them. Usually when you are in a photo-finish and your horse is called out first it’s a good sign. 99 per cent of the time your horse has won, so the signs where good for our punter. But he was left devastated as Kings Fable got the verdict. Our punter had just seen £20,000 dwindle to just over two grand – absolutely gutting for the guy. But four grand is four grand.
An Andersonstown punter hit Sean Grahams for £2,031.62 with a £20 draw quad. He took Leeds 11/5, Sheffield Wednesday 11/5, Ipswich 11/5 and Crystal Palace 9/4. Great piece of punting by both lads.

Golf punter cleans up with two 100/1 shots
We all dream of that ultimate bet that could buy you a car or pay off your mortgage.
A lucky Sky Bet golf customer was celebrating on Sunday night after winning £54,385 from just a £5 each-way double. He scooped the tremendous return by combining promising French player Thomas Levet and Andres Romero, both 100/1, to win the Andalucian Open and the Zurich Classic respectively, in an each-way double.
Levet scraped home in a play-off to delight of the punter.
