When somebody asks this one lucky punter what the best birthday present is, he can answer it with no doubt. The anonymous punter scooped the fortune of his life on his very birthday, betting on horse racing with the
bookmaker William Hill.
William Hill has reported that the punter broke a number of records, including the biggest return on a £0.05 stake with a £203,969.39 worth of winnings.
The lucky guy picked several selections which he later converted into four different combination bets. As it was reported, the tipster has picked the following horses for his record-breaking betting slip:
- 2:55 FFOS LAS: Time Stand Still - 9.00 (8/1)

- 5:40 BATH: My Boy Sepoy - 3.50 (5/2)
- 5:50 FFOS: LAS Ascot Day - 15.00 (14/1)
Here are also his four bets that were all placed on the same ticket:
- 70 x 5p Fourfold = £10719.58
- 28 x 5p Sixfold = £174670.68
- 8 x 5p Sevenfold = £292922.49

Altogether, the punter has collected a jaw-dropping
