Unfortunate punter misses out on £83,000 cash prize after cashing out early on Royal Ascot bet
Grant had placed bets on numerous races over two days of the illustrious horse racing event that took place this week.
Putting £1.06 each way on a seven-fold accumulator bet, things got off to an ideal start as all three of his bets from Thursday’s races came in.Choosing not to cash out and continue into Friday’s races, Bailey’s fourth horse won as well, bringing him a step closer to his five-figure jackpot. Just three wins away from the ultimate prize, Bailey lost his nerve and opted to cash out on his bet, an option where a better can take a portion of their winnings before all of your selected bets have taken place.
Walking away with £463.75 seemed like a good result at the time, but after watching the final three races of his accumulator with the money already in his pocket, only to see all three horses come away victorious as well.
