The biggest win you ever had?

Breadwoman · 23-12-2014 7:44pm

them odds don't add up, if u have 2,500 on brendan at 2/1, that will be 5k profit and u would have won 6 grand on hurt locker, if u put 3 grand on at 2/1, not the 3 grand u claim to have won, this sounds all a bit too fishy

I got lucky with Lucas Glover winning the US open a few years back.

He was tipped on Newstalk.... 10Eur e/w @ 175/1.. And he won.

Apologies for the error.
I am used to using decimal odds not fractions you see, so I mean 2.0 (1/1) not 2/1.
I have corrected it now, thanks for pointing out my mistake.

€1835 on a €1 yankee.

Four first goalscorers, Shearer, Owen, Van Nistleroy and Davies of Bolton. Picked the first three because they were regular scorers and penalty takers. Don't know why I picked Davies.

A week later I had three up and my fourth scored the second goal.

Bongalongherb · 23-12-2014 9:21pm

€46 from the Irish lotto for four numbers after doing it for almost 20 years, I just don't have much luck

I'll bide my time

if you're not in you can't win.

In 2014 alone:

Tyson Fury v Derek Chisora 2,463

Carl Fogarty to win I'm A Celebrity 1,758

Ben Haenow to win X-Factor 1,930

I currently have 2,500 on Mrs Brown's Boys to win Top Christmas Day TV at odds of 1/1 (2.0)

So that will be my single biggest win of this year, 2,500 net profit.

My biggest all time win was 3,000 when bet on Hurt Locker winning Best Picture at the Oscars. Avatar was the favourite, but I backed Hurt Locker 3,000 at odds of 1/1 (2.0)

I figured the aged profile of the Oscars judging panel would favour an American war film over computer animation. And so they did.

Sometimes one has to trust ones gut instinct, despite it going against the odds on favourites. The market doesn't always know, and favourites don't always win. Often my biggest wins were backing the second favourite.

Won 1300 on Denmark winning the eurovision in 2013.

poeticmakaveli · 26-12-2014 1:04pm

lost a few pound a few seasons back, backed on the tuesday night Valencia to beat Porto and the went up 1-0 and end up drawing 1-1!
so with the annoyance of that the next day ladbrokes were giving a special on arsenal to beat Barcelona at home at 3/1, i remember it was 11/4 in PPs! ran down and put a 1,000 euro on it (mostly on rage from night before) arsenal was down 1-0 and came back and won 2-1 with 2 goals in the 2nd half! think arshavin scored the winner! so 4,000 was mine!

Bateman · 26-12-2014 7:26pm

Won 3,500 on Trap becoming the next Ireland manager after I'd layed loads of short priced favourites and then gotten lucky as someone game me the word when Trap was still a 3 figure price on betfair.

Most I ever won on a horse was Ruby riding a little-known horse called American Trilogy at Cheltenham a good few years back, won a grand on him.

clickerquicklic · 28-12-2014 11:26pm

Probably better to ask " Biggest priced winner" as someone could have thousands on an odds on shot , more skill/luck/amazement in them huge odds winners. Biggest win I remember off the top of my head is 1500 ew on a horse at 14/1 i think it was noble somthing, that was this year and it won , biggest price winner i remember backing is only about 120/1 which considering the amount of bets i place is probably not amazing.

About €360 in a pub poker game came first out of about 75.

Hesh's Umpire · 29-12-2014 4:39pm

2002 Champion Hurdle Hors La Loi. Had him ante post at 25/1, won €1300.
That was Istabraq's last race if I remember rightly.

When Keith Chegwin wins Celebrity Big Brother on Friday 6th February; it will be my biggest ever win. 4500 Euro profit on a single bet.

Best of luck with that one.

Chegwin is a case of sure as night follows day.

Its like betting at odds of 1.01 Leo Varadkar will back a yes vote in the gay referendum.

You see I could do the opposite and after time on the 6th February and tell you all I won on Chegwin; but I prefer to give others the heads up first, so they can get on it too.

Winning is one thing, but seeing others win on your tip is another. It just enhances it for me.

Breadwoman · 20-01-2015 9:50pm

How are you so certain?

lester76 · 20-01-2015 9:50pm

Keith Chegwin fits the MEM's (middle England mum) winner profile.
He is another Jack Dee, Jim Davidson, winner profile. A national treasure, mature comedian.
The MEM's are the ones who vote for the winner on finals night.
Just look at the winners list on Wiki since CBB changed from Channel 4 to 5. It used to be 19-21 year old students watching and voting, but now its 30-40 year old MEM's.
The list of winners reflect the voters profiles. They like the mature comedian types.
So Chegwin fits that proven winners profile.
Its likely to be a Katie Hopkins v Keith Chegwin final, so a nasty v nice final vote.
And the MEM's will be voting for a nice winner as per usual.
That is how I am so certain.

just under 1200 euro off a 1 euro stake. i bet on 9 games over two goals in the early stages of the world cup. brazil got everything off to a great start.
