Massive collect

A very good friend of mine who loves his horse racing and has probably donated a fair bit to bookmakers over the last 20 years or so just had the mother of all collects.

On Wednesday (21^st) this week he hit the quadrella (picked the winner of each of the last 4 races) at the Newmarket Handicap Race Day in Newcastle (NSW).

The payout on a quaddie depends on the payouts of each of the horses for each race. If 4 favorites win, the payout won't be that big. If a long shot(s) win any of the legs...it can get really big depending on just how long the odds are. On this particular occasion a 250 to 1 shot came home in the 2nd leg of the quaddie (my mate backed the whole field in this race so in effect picked the winner).

The resulting payout for a $1 bet....$177,198 :D

He had $0.50 on it (which amounted to about $90 for every win combination selected)

= a win of $88,599.00

Could not have happened to a nicer bloke (or a bloke who needed the cash more!)

so six months on and the streak continued. Nothing major, but regular quadrella wins (about 25 in 6 months!) - all with the same online sportsbook... sportsbet.com.au who today banned him from taking any more quadrella's :D
