Sky Bet punter wins over £41,000 when his 50p Lucky 31 comes good on Thursday's horse racing


A Sky Bet punter struck lucky on Thursday's horse racing when all his five selections in a 50p Lucky 31 won, returning him over £41,000!

The customer’s final winner, Letsbe Avenue in the 8.55 Newbury, drifted from the price he took of 9/1 to an SP of 16/1.

The payout would therefore have 'only' been £23.8k but Sky Bet's Best Odds Guaranteed earned the punter an extra £18.3k!

Winning selections

  • 3.10 Perth – Nefyn Bay 4/1 (9/2 SP)
  • 3.20 Yarmouth – Johni Boxit 13/2
  • 4.00 Haydock – Exprompt 5/1
  • 8.10 Epsom – Derek Duval 8/1
  • 8.55 Newbury – Letsbe Avenue 9/1 (16/1 SP)

Bet: 50p win Lucky 31

Total Stake: £15.50

Total Returns: £41,765.30

Sky Bet Racing PR Manager Michael Shinners said: "It's a deserved big pay-out - boosted by the Best Odds Guarantee. None of those winners were easy to find and it was a great effort by our customer."
