Smallest bet....biggest reward?!

[albion534]

So I had £1.55 on 3 draws over the weekend

Had

Reading
Norwich
Celtic

Returned me £109

What's the smallest you have bet with the biggest return?

 

[Biscuit]

[MENTION=5]Turkey[/MENTION] put a £1 on Brighton to win 0-1 away at Palace, the goal to come in the second half and Paul McShane to be the goalscorer.

He won loads! About £700 I think?

 

[albion534]

Had 3-2 v Leeds and CMS to score first, £5 woulda returned @ 35-1... Gutted

unlikely, the goal in the second half bit wouldn't have been accepted by any of the majors, this bet would have paid, £200 tops

dont want to make you feel worse but the 3-2 bit would have been over 20/1, this outcome would have been nearer 100/1

(don't mean to pick faults in the above two, but it's been my 'profession' for nearly 25 years)

I often pick 5 horses at the weekend and place £1 ew doubles. So the bet costs £20, but have won £700 plus a couple of times in the last few years.

I meant anytime!

Remembering off top of my head! It was Swansea aswel

I had a couple of quid on the draw when it was 4-1 in the Reading Arsenal game the other week at 42/1.

that explains it

Two quid each-way on Natalie Tauziat to win Wimbledon in 1998 (100/1). She made the final but got hammered by Jana Novotna. Still pleased with the 100 pound return. But God knows why I backed her as she was a dog but she did usually have a fair run in the tournament. The draw just opened up for her that year and got lucky to get that far.

I think Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews might correct you on your return.

I put a tenner on Ronaldo to score first and Manchester United to beat Millwall 3-0 in the cup final (2004 i think). It was a nervous last few moments but at 45-1 I won just shy of a monkey. Very pleasing. Especially to see the woman in Ladbrokes smile and say "Been waiting for you" when i handed the slip in. A mate watching with me had the same scoreline but with Van Nistelrooy to score first. He did say well done to me, but I think he found it hard!

did have a look! 1/2 the odds e/w on a sport event (to reach final) sounds about right (50/1 a place) I'll let em off this one! (although the RETURN would be £102!)

I thought the odds would be around 1/4 to reach a final, but stand corrected.

As you were. Carry on...

£2 on 1-0, McShane first goal. 285/1 Job Done!

Can't remember exactly but I won a few bob on a horse called Almahaza @50/1.

I believe that [MENTION=3721]Captain Haddock[/MENTION] did the same bet and won £1000+ (can't remember what he laid out).

The 0-1 McShane scorecast was 285/1.

Funny how time plays tricks!

Yep, just shy of £300 quid then! Not bad off a pound!
