What's the most you've won on a bet?

7 fold acca for £1400. Was the year Boro beat Palace 1-0 at their place, think Emnes scored. Hadnt realised one of the matches was the next day so sweated all night.

I don't gamble but back in 1980 I was visiting a mate in Durham. On the Saturday lunch time we went with his dad to their local, it was pretty full. The landlord ran a book (no each ways) and I was encouraged to put a bet on the next race on the telly. So I picked a horse called Tyrnavos simply 'cos my mates name was Turner and put a £1 on, the landlord was offering 100-1 on it. The bloody thing only won and I pocketed £100. The looks I got off the regulars, I didn't think I'd get out alive.

That will have been the Irish Derby
 
In the late 90's I put the lottery on, 5 of my numbers came out, I honestly couldn't believe it. Got the bus to a village a few miles away. Walked in, with ticket in hand. Showed the lady, she couldn't believe it either. She put it through the machine and dyou know how much I got. £77.26p. It was the weekend that loads of people won and that's why I only got that much. I was dreaming of millions 😭😭
