One perceptive punter had a lucky escape by using Betfair's Cash Out facility during yesterday's football action, netting himself a cool £5,131.89...

"And as if things couldn't get any better for our lucky punter, moments later an 86th-minute goal for Peterborough against West Brom followed by an 87th-minute penalty for Shrewsbury against Sheffield Wednesday meant that his multiple was rendered a surefire loser. He'd have won the square root of absolutely nothing."

It was all going swimmingly for one punter during Saturday's FA Cup, Bundesliga and Football League action - his 15-team accumulator was looking good, and everything was lined up for a big win ahead of the Liverpool-West Ham game that evening.

The bettor had staked just £5 and was set for a huge windfall. But rather than wait for all the results to come in and then wait and see if Liverpool would do the business to complete the full set of 15, he cashed out for a sweet £5131.89 payout. Not bad.

And what of Liverpool? Well, they drew anyway, further justifying his decision.
