Once again the positive of being able to cash out an active bet comes into the limelight. One punter at Kempton on Wednesday night, doing their betting through online betting site Sky Bet had placed a £20 each way seven-fold on the racing action. The first six selections of their wager all came in but instead of letting everything ride until the final leg, they cashed out for around £26,000.

That was a smart move because the last selection in the bet, Capolavoro in the 9:10 failed to deliver the win.

The cashed out bet was:

6:10 Kempton – Magical Dreamer – 7/4

6:40 Kempton – Dubai One – 11/10

7:10 Kempton – Total Star – 2/1

7:40 Kempton – Timeless Flight – 11/8

8:10 Kempton – Banish – 7/1

8:40 Kempton – Iballisticvin – 5/2

9:10 Kempton – Capolavoro – LOST

Stake £20 each way. Cash Out – £25,875.25.

Sky Bet spokesman Michael Shinners said: “A quiet Wednesday evening at Kempton turned into a party for one of our punters who played the cash out option perfectly with a well-timed withdrawal.”
