Have you (or anyone) ever had any lucky bets?
I've had the tricast in the national a couple of times paying 8000-1+, and the forecasts with them paying 100-1+ plus a few more forecasts, had a Sean Bowen 4 timer that paid loads, but my luckiest bet was when I was about 18. Henry Cecil had 2 horses running in the race, one was second favourite, one was 100-1. Both had the same first half of name but slightly different second, so like xxxxxxx yyy & xxxxxxx zzz. I put £1 on the second fav, course the other one won at 100-1. As I was leaving the manager shouted, you not want your winnings Col, me, what winnings, showed me the slip, I'd put the wrong horse down and got the 100-1 winner
I was only getting about £20 a week wages then so £100 was a fortune to me!
