Punter misses out on life-changing amount of money after early cashout

People are calling it the worst cashout of all time.

A punter missed out on a staggering five-figure payout after cashing out early on a football accumulator.

A fan placed a 15-fold accumulator on Saturday's EFL action, including two games in the Championship.

He had Norwich City and Southampton to beat Charlton Athletic and Oxford United respectively, with both results coming in.

Norwich secured a 1-0 win at The Valley thanks to Pelle Mattsson's first-half strike, while Southampton beat Oxford 2-0 at home to keep up their play-off charge.

The punter also had League One leaders Lincoln City and League Two table-toppers Bromley on his acca, with both sides winning their respective games against Rotherham United and Colchester United.

He put £5 on his 15-fold acca, with staggering odds of 8590.48/1.

That would have seen him in line for a whopping £42,000 but the bettor only earned £114 after cashing out early. Ouch.


Judging by the bet slip, the punter appears to have cashed out after Bristol Rovers' goal in the 72nd minute against Gillingham in their League Two clash.

Rovers had gone behind when Ronan Hale converted a penalty in the 16th minute.

But Steve Evans' team levelled following Alfie Kilgour's header shortly after the break before Ellis Harrison completed the comeback 18 minutes from time.

Rovers held on for the win, but the gambler opted to cash out for £114, meaning he missed out on a sum of £42,000.

Needless to say, the early cash out sent people wild on social media.

One X user wrote: "Never ever ever cash out I’d rather lose," while a second said: "Why put a big bet on like that if you’re gonna cash."

A third added: "£109 profit though. Good man."

Another commented: "Got to be the worse cash out of all time."
