Betr's multi-million dollar payout after Anamoe's Cox Plate heroics
The first of new bookmaker Betr's staggering spring offers has come up trumps for punters with Anamoe's Cox Plate win resulting in a payout understood to have been well in excess of $10m.
Amid much fanfare, Betr's recent entry into the wagering market came with a number of massively enticing markets for punters, including offering $21 (max $10 bet) about Godolphin pin-up boy Anamoe in the Cox Plate.
The too good to refuse offer meant Betr carried huge exposure on the raging hot $2.40 favourite heading into the $5m weight-for-age showpiece.
"Our liability on Anamoe was more than five times what we'd budgeted," Betr's CEO Andrew Menz said.Congratulations Anamoe and everyone who backed him - what a win for racing fans. We can’t believe how many people were on him for the win! Please be patient as we process payouts as quickly as we can!

"It's a great result for our customers so early on. While we were ambitious and keen to hit the ground running, we're genuinely excited that the punters have landed an early blow."
