No surprise here, eight of the towns/cities involved are within a 25 mile radius.
But still very incompetent of Ladbrokes to have accepted the bet in the first place.

Ladbrokes maximum payout for "novelty events" is, anyway capped at GBP 25,000

not really...its the equivalent of a technical malfunction- their rules explicitly state that you can not parlay these types of bets. they should however give him a consolation prize. like 100,000 or somethin

This is a clear cut case with an enormous correlation between bets. If this guy didn't realize there was an error when he bet this then he is obviously stupid. Don't like ladbrokes though so I hope they pay him 50k or something.
