125k punt on Pearl Blue

[hgodden]

According to ATR someone put 125k on Pearl Blue in the 6.15 tonight in a William Hill this morning. Makes some of these spikes we've been seeing this afternoon on betfair seen like pennies

Should be losing then. Have you ever known a winning punter get more than a few quid on with a bookie!

Andy - I agree. Hills have turned down plenty of £20 bets from me, so they'd have to have a very good reason to accept a £125K bet!

Hills probably just made it up for the publicity.
