A LIVERPOOL fan lost £800,000 on a Premier League bet – when he cashed out minutes before the end of the game.
Ethan Conway, 24, bet £219 on three exact season finale results last Sunday.
He predicted Brighton 0, Manchester United 2; Liverpool 2, Wolves 0; and Sheffield United 0, Tottenham Hotspur 3.
He withdrew £5,130 with United leading 1-0 and was “over the moon” with his luck – before Rasmus Højlund’s second goal in the 88th minute for arch-rivals Liverpool.
If Scaffold had held his nerve, he would have won £814,000 on the 3.717/1 punt.
“I’m heartbroken,” he said.
“It’s only a 50/50 chance.
“Either you get it or you don’t. My family and friends didn’t believe it either – but they’re happy I won the five grand.”
Ethan, from Mountain Ash, South Wales, added: “It was just a hunch and it happened. Pure lucky.
“There is no chance of betting again soon. I’ll have to get over this first. I won and ran away.”
