Default "One of the blackest days in the history of bookmaking."

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...3#.UuCTQmdOmM9

Don't know if this headline is sensational or not...but according to the Daily Mirror, Bookmakers took a 15 million Pounds battering thanks to an extremely successful betting coup.

Quote:
Eye of the Tiger struck first blood for punters at *Lingfield. It was priced at 10-1 having not run for 481 days but was backed in to even money favourite before the race.
Quote:
Next was Seven Summits, which claimed its first win over hurdles at Catterick.

It was backed from 7-1 to 9-4 favourite. Later at Kempton, Indus Valley was running for the first time in 700 days, but still won at 4-6 after being priced as high as 20-1 on Tuesday night.

Quote:
And the quadruple was completed by Low Key, which returned from a 350-day lay-off to win at 4-7 having been backed in from 7-1 earlier in the day.

Each of the final two horses to complete the coup, Indus Valley and Low Key, were trending on Twitter for a while after they came through.

Obviously, when you bet a horse at 10/1 with bookmakers, you're locked in at that price.
