A LIVERPOOL fan missed out on £800,000 in a Premier League punt — by cashing out minutes before full-time.
Ethan Conway, 24, staked £219 on three exact season-end scores last Sunday.

He predicted Brighton 0, Manchester United 2; Liverpool 2, Wolves 0; and Sheffield United 0, Tottenham Hotspur 3.
He cashed out for £5,130 with United leading 1-0 and was “over the moon” at his luck — before Rasmus Højlund’s 88th-minute second for Liverpool’s arch rivals.
If the scaffolder had held his nerve he would have won £814,000 on the 3,717/1 punt.
“I’m heartbroken”, he said.
“It’s just the 50/50 chance of it.
“You either cash out or you don’t. My family and friends were in disbelief as well — but they’re happy I won the five grand.”
Ethan, of Mountain Ash, South Wales, added: “It was just a rough guess and it came in. Pure luck.
“There’s no chance I’ll be betting again soon. I’ll have to get over this one first. I’ve won and run.”
