Punter wins 671,136 GBP!!!!!

Single Betfair punter wins big on Scoop6


A BETFAIR customer landed £671,136 by solving the Totescoop6 on Saturday and now has a chance to bring his winnings to almost £1 million by selecting the successful horse in next Saturday's bonus race.

The punter, who staked just £28 on his winning ticket, relied solely on Kaldoun Kingdom in the final leg, the Coral Sprint Trophy, and will need to be bang on his game again next weekend in order to take the £287,630 rolled over in the win fund.

A total of £368,136 was bet into Saturday's pool, but there were only six surviving tickets going into the last leg, with the other horses covered being Green Manalishi, Hitchens, Parisian Pyramid (twice) and Toufan Express.

Totepool spokesman George Primarolo said: "This weekend's Scoop6 looked one of the toughest we've had for awhile, so fair play to the Betfair punter, who has picked up a cool £671,136.

"He could take his winnings to almost £1million should he be successful in the bonus race next weekend."

Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin said: "The winning punter does not wish to be named, and we don't have exact details to hand about his stake, but he may have laid out a total of £5,000.

There were 362 winners of yesterday's place fund, each of whom pick up £203.60.

Beats a kick in the pants now doesn't it!!!

Anonymous punter chasing Scoop6 bonus


ALL that has been revealed is his sex, but the mystery man could take his Totescoop6 winnings to just under £1 million on Saturday afternoon.

The anonymous punter who last week bagged the win fund of £671,136, will on Saturday add £287,630 to the haul if able to find the winner of the Totesport.com Cesarewitch, the selected bonus fund contest.

For everyone else, the target will be to empty the win fund, a mission that will be determined by the outcome of the first four races at Newmarket and two contests from Cheltenham.

Scoop6 races: Leg 1, 1.50 Newmarket, Leg 2, 2.25 Newmarket, Leg 3 2.40 Cheltenham, Leg 4 3.00 Newmarket, Leg 5 3.15 Cheltenham, Leg 6 3.40 Newmarket.

Good work if you can get it.

Scoop6 winner takes haul to almost £1m


LAST week's Tote Scoop6 winner took his earnings to just under £1 million in seven days by following up in the bonus race on Saturday.

The anonymous Betfair punter, who won £671,136 by naming all six winners in the bet last Saturday, added £287,630 to the pot after plumping for the unnamed favourite in the Totesport Cesarewitch, which was won by market-leader Darley Sun and took his haul to £958,766.

David Craven, managing director of Totepool, said: "To pick six winners in one day is one thing, but to then add the winner of a fiercely competitive 32-runner handicap is a great achievement and our congratulations go out to the mystery punter for scooping nearly £1 million.

"I am sure he could not believe his eyes at the ease in which this horse netted him another great windfall of nearly £300,000."

A total of £200,006 was bet into Saturday's pool but there were no winners, so the win-fund rollover for next Saturday is £70,030, with a further £30,012 in the bonus fund.

There were 46 winners of the place fund, each of whom picked up £869.90.

Scoop6 windfall is landed by single punter


AN ANONYMOUS Betfair customer was celebrating a bumper payout after becoming the only winner of Saturday's Tote Scoop6, which netted the player a haul of £644,398.

Tranquil Tiger's surprise defeat of Presvis at Lingfield sealed the win, but it was only confirmed after the Haydock stewards allowed Shining Gale's victory in thefifth leg of the bet to stand following an inquiry.

The winner had yet to register his win with the Tote on Saturday evening, but it is understood to be the same person who collected just short of £1 million last month, winning an initial £671,136 before claiming an additional £287,630 by plumping for the unnamed favourite in the Totesport Cesarewitch, which was won by market-leader Darley Sun. He has a chance to boost this Saturday's winnings by playing for the bonus prize of £276,170 next week.

After a sum of £606,576 was staked on the Scoop6, there were just 11 tickets left going into the final leg, the Betdaq Churchill Stakes won by Tranquil Tiger, although the outcome of the Haydock inquiry had still to be announced.

Totepool spokesman George Primarolo said: "Congratulations to the Betfair punter, who has not only won a huge amount from the win fund this weekend but now has a chance to take their winnings to just over £900,000 in the bonus race next weekend."

There were 5,961 winners of the place fund, each of whompicks up £20.30.

Scoop6 punter out to nail remarkable bonus double


ONE punter will look to write his name into the Tote Scoop6 record books on Saturday as he aims to become the first person to win the bonus fund single-handed on two consecutive occasions.

The man, who placed his bet through Betfair, will win £276,170 if he selects the winner of the bonus race - the Hennessy Gold Cup - to add to the £644,398 he won on last weekend's Totescoop6.

He took home the last bonus fund to be won, £287,630, when Darley Sun won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket on October 18 to add to the £671,136 he claimed the previous Saturday.

A win on Saturday will take his total haul to over £1.8m.

Saturday's Tote Scoop6 is made up of three jump races from Newbury and three from Newcastle.

By Rodney Masters5.18PM 28 NOV 2009 DENMAN'S historic triumph in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury topped up a London Scoop6 player's kitty to a cool £1.8million as his lucky streak entered unchartered territory for the bet.
