A punter has kicked off 2024 in profitable fashion thanks to a miraculous accumulator bet.
The William Hill customer picked out five horses running at Wolverhampton to put in a January 2 acca.
The bet consisted of £3 win doubles, £1 each-way trebles, £2 each-way four-folds and a £4 each-way five-fold.
The first horse Rubelite won at odds of 8-1, the third selection Just A Spark struck at 13-2, fourth Reigning Profit at 17-2 and the last runner was a 12-1 winner.
Only Gold Standard, the second selection in the five-fold, let the punter down, finishing fourth at odds of 17-2.

Yet the bet stilled netted the Hills customer a handsome total of £47,024.50.
William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “It looked a quiet night at Wolverhampton but one of our customers gave us a bit of a kicking having turned £20 into over £47k.
“They permed up five horses, four of which won, and had Gold Standard, the second-leg of the bet, won they would have taken home over £516k!”
Last week William Hill reported a similar successful bet after a customer turned a £20 bet into over £18,404.53. after placing a £10 each-way accumulator consisting of four horses which all won at Chepstow.
