Betfair Player Pockets Over £200,000 Thanks to Cash Out Feature
- January 3, 2017 By Nemanja L. -
A Betfair customer has probably made the best possible use of the popular cash out feature as he secured a £223,000 win on a Boxing Day football accumulator.
The man in question placed £1 on a 21-selection football accumulator that contained matches from England’s top leagues that were all played on Boxing Day.
He must have been in disbelief when he got first 20 games on the betting slip correct, and only needed Plymouth to defeat Wycombe to land a bumper payout.
The punter initially resisted temptation to use the Cash Out option and lock in his profit, and he must have regretted the decision when the visitors took the lead after just 8 minutes.
However, Plymouth then scored three goals before Adebayo Akinfewa puled one back. With just five minutes left on the clock, the bettor decided to trigger the Cash Out feature, securing a £223,000 payout, in what will go down as one of the best uses of said perk in history.
Namely, four minutes later, Wycombe scored the equaliser, meaning that the punter would have been left with nothing had he not used Cash Out.
He instead got away with a perfect Christmas present and a story to tell his mates, while also giving Betfair extra material to promote cash out to their new and existing customers.
The Betfair customer is the second bettor to land a payout in excess of £200,000 in the space of a couple of weeks as BetVictor player also won a similar amount just before Christmas.
He staked £5 on a 20-leg football accumulator and also took advantage of BetVictor’s Price Promise promotion to win around £222,000.
