The unlucky man was twenty-four-year-old Gary Walters from Birmingham. He, as many of us do, placed a longshot football accumulator(https://www.footyinformer.com/football-accumulator-tips/) for the weekends fixtures, in this case a £10 bet on 13 matches. His excitement was short lived as his son accidently cash the bet out, when playing with the phone.
The unfortunate cash-out took place after Gary had already predicted 3 results and he then had to sit and watch the other 10 roll in!
The hapless punter was quoted saying: “I left him in the back seat next to my phone briefly and when I picked up my phone again and got in the front seat it said I had cashed in on £6.99”.
Already gutted, he watched each result roll in one after the other with no which can only be described as an absolute nightmare”. Despite loosing out on a small fortune, his spirits remained high stating his son was “too young to understand” and therefore it was not worth telling him off.
Very few people can boast that they have picked 13 correct results, and from Gary success he gained £7 and a story to tell his son in 15 years.
