A handful of TAB punters turned modest investments into eye-watering collects over the weekend, with feature race roughies and well-constructed multis delivering some serious punishment to the bookmaker.
The biggest result came courtesy of the two headline races at Ipswich, where one customer found a pair of outsiders and turned just $25 into a staggering $9,750.
$25 turns into $9,750 In Ipswich masterstroke
The best collect of the weekend belonged to a TAB customer who combined the two feature races at Ipswich into one winning ticket.
The punter backed Soothsayer to win the Eye Liner Stakes at $15 before finding Kaluakoi in the TAB Ipswich Cup at a whopping $26.
With both roughies getting the job done, the double returned a mammoth dividend of $390, transforming a modest $25 outlay into a $9,750 payday.
Morphettville-Flemington bouble delivers $9,500
Another TAB customer found value at both ends of the country, landing a two-leg win multi worth $9,500 from a $100 investment.
The bet featured Sir Leaplot at $10 in Morphettville Race 9 before Obvious completed the job in Flemington Race 9 at $9.50.
The pair combined for a juicy $95 dividend and another painful result for the book.
Four-Leg Randwick Special Returns Over $9,000
One Sydney-focused punter kept things simple, sticking exclusively to Randwick and finding four winners on the card.
The $200 multi included:
- Chains Of Love (R1) $2.50
- Tazima (R6) $2.60
- Ice Kool (R7) $1.75
- Glorious Moments (R10) $4.40
By the time Glorious Moments completed the set in the last, the punter had turned $200 into $9,032 courtesy of a $45.16 dividend.
Interstate Multi Lands $6,691
A fourth standout collect came from a customer who stitched together winners across four different meetings around the country. Not only that, the multi spanned across three days last week: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
The $20 multi featured:
- Forever With Ned (Wangaratta R7)
- Makamae (Sunshine Coast R8) $5.50
- Happy Link (Pakenham R9) $4.40
- Life Sentence (Ballarat R8) $7.00
The successful interstate raid returned $6,691.20, with the quartet combining for a $334.56 dividend. A decent wait, but the result was no doubt worth it.
Punters Find The Value
There were no shortage of big-priced winners across the weekend, and TAB customers were quick to capitalise.
Feature race roughies, interstate winners and a handful of perfectly timed multis combined to produce a weekend many punters won’t forget in a hurry.
The standout was undoubtedly the Ipswich feature race double, where Soothsayer and Kaluakoi combined at odds of $390 to turn a $25 investment into a remarkable $9,750 collect.
