10-year bet finally pays off
An OAP who placed the same bet every day for more than 10 years has finally won.
The man, who has not been named, won £142,590 after betting a total of £7.
He picked the winners of eight greyhound races at the bookies in Chester-le-Street, Co Durham, reports the Mirror.
Coral spokesman Simon Clare said: "It's phenomenal. It's like predicting where lightning is going to strike."
He added: "It's the same bet he had placed every day for more than a decade. And in 40 years betting he's never won more than £100 before."
The bet included a £1 accumulator which came in at 141,749 to 1.
