The winning bets

Lucky Ladbrokes punter turns £20 into £96K from just four races at Southwell 2

Ladbrokes

Southwell – Friday 21st March 2025

  • 19:00 – Dutch Kingdom – 14/1
  • 19:30 – King Of Fury – 12/1
  • 20:00 – Toby Tops – 6/1
  • 20:30 – Sevensees – 10/1

BET TYPES

  • £1 Lucky 15 (£15 total)
  • £5 four-fold

TOTAL STAKE – £20
TOTAL RETURNS – £96,578 (£21,503 from L15 & £75,075 from four-fold)

And, against all odds, every single selection came home a winner, despite none of them being the race favourite!

His picks — priced at 6/1, 10/1, 12/1, and 14/1 — defied expectations, but it was the first leg that truly set the tone.

The 19:00 feature race saw 2/1 favourite Legal Reform attempt to lead from start to finish, only to be dramatically pipped at the post by 14/1 outsider Dutch Kingdom in the final stride.

That photo-finish proved pivotal, as without it, the total return would have been a comparatively measly £1,343!

With momentum on his side, King Of Fury (12/1) scraped a victory by a neck, before Toby Tops (6/1) stormed home in relative comfort.

The final leg saw Sevensees (10/1) fend off 2/1 favourite Moulin Booj, sealing an astonishing windfall for the punter.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Our plucky punter truly has put the luck in Lucky 15 here...

“You'll do well to find a closer finish than Friday night's 19:00 at Southwell. And while there was still a long way to go in the bet at the time, that short head victory for Dutch Kingdom ended up being the £95k difference maker for our customer.

“To land the Lucky 15 to the tune of £21.5k was one thing, but to back the 15,000/1 four-fold with a fiver on top – coupled with that early drama – means this has to go down as one of the best bets we've seen in recent years.”
