Betfair punter who cashed out £57,000 would have won £425,000


One lucky Betfair punter had the luxury of cashing out £57,968 on Sunday, with one leg still to run on two five-horse multiples, only for the final selection to win - meaning they would have landed £425,000.


Sunday's extraordinary multiple bet

Bets Struck: £1 each-way Lucky 31; £5 win Accumulator

Total Stake: £67

Winnings: £57,968

Selections:

  • 1.30 Aintree Honor Grey - 9/1 WON
  • 2.05 Aintree Dingo Dollar - 12/1 WON
  • 2.40 Aintree Riders On the Storm - 16/1 WON
  • 2.55 Ffos Las Spring Meadow - 7/2 WON
  • CASH OUT TAKEN - £57,968
  • 5.05 Aintree Credrojava - 15/8 WON

The punter placed a £1 each-way Lucky 31 - a bet consisting of five singles, ten doubles, ten trebles, five four-folds and one five-fold accumulator - plus an extra £5 win accumulator across races at Aintree and Ffos Las, at a total stake of £67, and remarkably the first four selections all won.

The fifth and final horse was Harry Fry’s Credrojava in the mares' bumper but as she shortened into 15/8 favourite, the punter took the understandable decision to take the huge profit being offered rather than sit tight and hope to collect an eye-watering £425,000.

The rest is history, as they say, with Credrojava running out a half-length winner of the Siniat EBF Mares’ Open National Hunt Flat Race.

Betfair's Barry Orr commented: "The customer elected to cash out and bank nearly £58,000 for his £67 bet. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision to make and he obviously had mixed emotions having seen the last leg win but I imagine there are very few people who wouldn’t have banked the cash.

"His selections were inspired and the second leg, Dingo Dollar, traded at 251/1 in running on the Betfair Exchange but managed to get the job done. Good luck to him."
