Weekend Winners: Details of large payouts and tales of punting genius


A look at some impressive winners across another entertaining weekend of sport.

Penalty miss bliss!

Stephen from Edinburgh will have been delighted to see spot-kick failure in the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday.

The Sky Bet punter impressively had £5 on a penalty to be missed in both Uganda v Senegal (14/1) and Morocco v Benin (14/1), which paid out a tasty £1,125. Back of the net...for Stephen, not the teams in question, obviously!

Goal-fest friendlies

Competitive matches are hard enough to call, so putting friendlies into your selections can be risky but it paid off for Ian from Bradford, who put on a £5 12-fold for over 2.5 total goals in all of the games below.

Three games in the Finnish top division all finished 2-1, much to Ian's delight as he secured a return of just under £3,350.

  • AZ Alkmaar v Club Brugge
  • Alfreton Town v Walsall
  • Barrow v Blackburn Rovers
  • Brighouse Town v Farsley Celtic FC
  • Chester FC v Wigan Athletic
  • FC RCOR-BGU v Neman Grodno
  • FC Granit Mikashevichi v FC Ruh Brest
  • AC Oulu v TPV
  • MuSa v FC Haka
  • FC Honka v KuPS (Finland Veikkausliiga)
  • KPV v VPS (Finland Veikkausliiga)
  • RoPS v IFK Mariehamn (Finland Veikkausliiga)

Hurray for in-play!

Craig from Manchester won a superb in-play acca early on Saturday morning, turning £3.83 into £1,900 with a successful five fold.

Magic:

  • Santa Cruz FC v Ferroviario (7/2)
  • New York Red Bulls II v Ottawa Fury - Draw (5/2)
  • Deportivo Municipal (5/4) v Ayacucho FC
  • Erie Commodores FC v FC BUFFALO - Draw (5/2)
  • Parklands United Women v Coastal Spirit Reserves Women (3/1)

Horse racing

Luke from Stoke had a nice win from Friday evening's racing, four of which were at Chelmsford, with six out of six winners on his £3 each-way six fold.

The biggest price in those selections was 5/1 on Champagne Marengo in the 20.40 at Chelmsford and the final payout came in at just under £7,730 - a good night's work!

Another impressive horse racing triumph came on Saturday, courtesy of Kenny from Kirkaldy.

A 7p win Goliath saw seven out of eight winning selections and they were very unfortunate not to bring the house down in the final one with Miacomet well down the field - which made it just the 5k return.
