The cash out feature at online bookmakers is all down to timing and one punter, who has remained anonymous, got a cash out call nailed to perfection at Betfair on Boxing Day. This was an epic 21 leg accumulator of football matches and thanks to the control that the cash out feature gives punters, this bet probably boils down to being the mother of all accumulator cash out.

A staggering £233k came back from the £1 stake on the festive accumulator which included Plymouth beating Wycombe in a match which ended 3-3 thanks a 90th minute equaliser for Wycombe’s Myles Weston.

However, before the equalising Wycombe goal went in, the punter had decided to cash out on the acca just four minutes prior to the netbuster. Had the punter not done that of course, then they would have walked away with nothing because of the killer goal.

The bet was made up of the following teams: Arsenal, Manchester United, Burnley, West Ham, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Reading, Millwall, Rochdale, Everton, Sheffield United, Bolton, Rotherham, Blackpool, Portsmouth, Grimsby, Wolves and Bristol Rovers. Manchester City and Newcastle, who both played in the evening, were also on the card.

Naomi Totten, Spokesperson at Betfair, said: “Cash Out gives customers the ultimate control over their bets and this is surely the mother of all Cash Outs from the mother of all accumulators. The customer nailed 18 results of their 21 selections with two to follow in the evening matches but correctly predicted that Plymouth wouldn’t hold their nerve against Wycombe.

“And with an impeccably timed Cash Out they chose to take £223k just four minutes before Wycombe bagged the equaliser that would have agonisingly seen the punter take home nothing. Some way to end Christmas!”
