Punter misses out on £13,000 payout after 92nd-minute cash-out – moments before Southampton’s dramatic winner at Leicester

A Sky Bet customer endured a rollercoaster of emotions on Tuesday night after cashing out moments before what turned into one of the comebacks of the season.

The punter, who is a Southampton fan, backed Saints and Eastleigh to win at half time – with Southampton 3-0 down to Leicester and Eastleigh trailing 2-0 at Solihull Moors.

It looked to be an inspired £5 double as both sides fought back in the second half. Eastleigh completed their turnaround in the 74th minute and Southampton brought it back to 3-3 with just minutes of normal time remaining.

With Saints pushing for a winner and 92 minutes on the clock, the customer opted to cash out for £1,146.10, securing a tidy profit with seconds remaining.

But the evening had another twist in store when, deep into stoppage time, Southampton completed a remarkable comeback to win 4-3 – a goal that would have landed the punter a whopping £13,005.

Despite missing out on almost £12k, it was still an incredible win from just £5 and more proof it’s never over until the final whistle.
