Me my wife and two friends went to cartmell races one bank holiday Monday, I backed a horse in
every race and I had no luck whatsoever. Went to work on the Wednesday, and noticed cartmell
was on again and that 4 of the horses I had backed on the Monday were out again. They were all
doing different distances and had different jockeys on board them. I had a fiver in my pocket so
I bought twenty cigarettes and a can of coke, which left me with 1 pound. I went to the bookie
and put 50 pence each way accumulator on the four horses. When I finished work I called back to
the bookies to have a look at the results. Then I walked into the shop everyone was looking at me
and whispering to each other, I felt a bit uneasy. Then the manager of the shop asked me to join
him in his office. He then proceeded to show me a betting slip and asked if it was mine. I said yes,
is there something wrong?. No he replied and showed me a bit of paper and said this was how much
I had won. Well you could of blown me over, £6,989-76 and all for 1 pound.
