Ethan Conway’s near-miss with a massive football bet win left him feeling gutted after he cashed out just minutes before a crucial goal would have secured him a staggering £800,000.
The 24-year-old scaffolder from Mountain Ash, Wales, had placed a £219 bet on the final day of the 2023-24 Premier League season, predicting the scores for three matches.
His predictions for Brighton 0-2 Manchester United, Liverpool 2-0 Wolves, and Sheffield United 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur were spot-on. However, Ethan’s luck took a cruel turn when he decided to cash out for £5,130 after Diago Dalot scored the first goal for Manchester United, leaving just 15 minutes of the game remaining.
Ethan was initially chuffed with his winnings, but his joy turned to disbelief when Rasmus Hojlund scored the second goal for Manchester United in the 88th minute, sealing a 2-0 victory. If Ethan had held on for a few more minutes, he would have pocketed an incredible £814,000 from the 3717/1 bet.
The heartbreaking realization left Ethan feeling gutted and in disbelief. Despite being close to a life-changing fortune, he missed out by a matter of minutes. Ethan’s family and friends were also stunned by the near-miss but relieved that he still won £5,000.
While Ethan normally bets on football matches every weekend, this was the first time he struck lucky with such a remarkable win. He attributed his success to pure luck and a rough guess, highlighting the unpredictability of football outcomes. Despite the disappointment, Ethan remains hopeful for future wins, though this near-miss will likely stick with him for a while.
