Lucky punter or not ?

RACING POST

A Betfair customer cashed out a Lucky 31 and five-fold accumulator before the final leg which won and would have paid out £425,000.

After four winners the customer decided not to put his faith in the 15-8 favourite Credrojava in the 5.05 at Aintree, and cashed out, guaranteeing a payout of just under £58,000.

Credrojava then won the mares' bumper by half a length for Harry Fry, holding off the challenge of Ruby Island.

The customer staked £67 on runners at Aintree and Ffos Las. He was on 16-1 Old Roan Chase winner Riders Onthe Storm and also won with Honor Grey (9-1) and Dingo Dollar (12-1) at Aintree as well as 7-2 chance Spring Meadow at Ffos Las.

The payout was £21,756 from the Lucky 31 and £36,212 from the accumulator.

Betfair's Barry Orr said: "The customer elected to cash out and bank nearly £58k for his £67 bet. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision to make and he obviously had mixed emotions having seen the last leg win but I imagine there are very few people who wouldn’t have banked the cash.

"His selections were inspired and the second leg, Dingo Dollar, traded at 251-1 in running on the Betfair Exchange but managed to get the job done. Good luck to him."

Would have to say wrong call on the 2/1 fav.

425 k vs 58k difference 367k 😪
