A football fan ended up missing the incredible opportunity to win £292,000 after cashing out his bet before the full-time results came through.
Mike Newman took to Twitter to post a picture of his seven-fold accumulator that he had with Sky Bet.

Sure, he placed a £5 bet and cashed out at £5,710.25, but it's like one of those 'here's what you could have won' moments.
Here are the seven matches that the punter betted on and his predictions (which all turned out to be correct, of course):
- Sheffield United vs Barnet (win)
- Preston North End vs Doncaster Rovers (win)
- QPR vs Leeds United (win)
- Fulham vs Oldham Athletic (win)
- Millwall vs Hull City (win)
- Sevilla vs Atlético Madrid (draw)
- Newport County vs Leicester City (win)
Wish I never cashed out otherwise I'd be 292k up @SkyBet pic.twitter.com/5ITqLpmabO

I'd try to think like that Tbf. Although the fact you've not got 287k more would still be killing you :weary:
