Last-race agony for Scoop6 punter
BY JAMES BURN 10:02AM 4 SEP 2011
ONE punter chasing Saturday's huge Scoop6 pot was just denied
when Barbican won the final leg at Ascot by a short head from
their selection Spifer, meaning £1 million could be up for grabs
in next Saturday's bet.
Two remaining ticket holders went into the final leg, but Barbican's narrow victory means £535,852 is carried forward.
"Our sympathies go out to the Scoop6 punter who almost won a fortune, but Barbican's gritty success means our combined pools could be approaching the magicmillion mark next Saturday," said Totepool spokesman Andrew Griffiths. (that will make him/her feel better, Andy)
£342,224 was bet into the pool and there were 1,497 winners of the place fund, each picking up £45.70.
Scoop 6 breakdown:
After leg 1 3,230 tickets remaining
After leg 2 291
After leg 3 61
After leg 4 17
After leg 5 2
After leg 6 0
