The month of May is upon us and it has already brought some big talking points; the Warriors\u2019 third loss on the bounce on Sunday was marred by a perplexing penalty try no-call; the Hurricanes and Blues extended their margin at the top of the Super Rugby ladder after impressive wins; Coco Sun\u2019s G1 South Australian Derby victory, and; a thrilling first round of NBA playoff action has drawn to a close, setting up an enticing second round. Punters have been enjoying the excitement of what\u2019s been on offer, and one Australian gallops fan, in particular, had a week to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putting together a 10-leg multi across Monday\u2019s thoroughbred racing across the Tasman, this bettor put on a betting masterclass to see their $50 bet win $17,203. The bet consisted solely of place bets, as he traversed Mornington (VIC), Goulburn (NSW), Inverell (NSW) and Thangool (QLD) to find 10 runners to place in their respective races. With the majority of legs being sub-$2 odds, it was relatively easy viewing early on. Gator won Race 2 at Mornington and Chaotic Beauty ran in for a comfortable second place in Race 2 at Goulburn. All was looking promising up until Race 8 at Mornington, with Figo The Great \u2013 the longest leg in the multi at $3.20 \u2013 was set to run. A good jump had the five-year-old settling just off the leader but as he turned onto the straight, the gelding appeared to be running out of gas, However, showing good ticker, he held on to finish in third and saw this amazing multi turn $50 into a monstrous $17,203.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day earlier, it was a sports fan\u2019s turn to win big. Also piecing together a multi that covered plenty of geographical ground, this TAB customer found legs from the Sunday\u2019s NBA, NRL and AFL action to have their $50 bet return a mega $10,003. Despite the Lakers being down 0-3 in their series against Denver, this punter backed an LA win in Game 4 ($2.25), along with a pair of AFL Winning Team & Margin bets \u2013 Gold Coast 1-39 ($2.30) v West Coast and Sydney 40+ ($3.10) v Sydney \u2013 and two Anytime Try Scorer legs in the NRL, backing Dane Gagai ($4.33) and Jesse Ramien ($2.88) to dot down. There would have been some sweaty palms when watching the Raiders v Sharks clash, with Ramien not scoring until the 76th minute, but as the centre bundled his way over, this bet was declared a winner to make this punter $10,003 richer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward four days to Thursday, and another big win was in the books, this time at the Pinjarra Scarpside Races. Taking part in the Early Quaddie, this gallops punter was on form to see their $9 bet win them $4,777. Keytrade produced an upset in the first, as $1.65 favourite Playing Games failed to place, getting this Quaddie off to a great start for this bettor. Another favourite fell in Race 2, as Powerpop won by a nose, before Reliable Queen lived up to her name in the third to claim victory. With five selections in Race 4, it would have been relatively easy viewing, as Warning Shot galloped to victory, helping this punter land $4,777 from their $9 Quaddie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday\u2019s racing also brought glory, this time with a $3 Trifecta winning $4,684. Taking place at the Woodville Races, this boxed Trifecta took place in Race 7, in which Manzappeal was the red-hot favourite in the 14-runner field. But this punter took him on \u2013 to great success. With Lurch ($20.30), Shockiff ($32.70) and Final Chapter ($50.60) as the Trifecta\u2019s first, second and third selections, respectively, Lurch left little doubt about his victory, storming away from the field in the final 100m. With Shockiff and Final Chapter also putting in a strong finish, the Trifecta was resulted as a winner and this racing fan found themselves $4,684 better off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entering the weekend\u2019s racing, one bettor made the most of South Australian Derby Day at Morphettville, nailing a boxed Trifecta in Race 2 to turn $1 into $2,571. Another favourite was rolled to make for an elusive Trifecta, this time with Miss Sunshine ($2.25) failing to place. Instead, Geminga ($70.90) held off the fast-finishing Runaway Belle to make up first and second, and as Final Chapter stormed home to secure a third-place finish, this win was locked in, with the $1 bet returning $2,571.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
