A LIVERPOOL fan missed out on £800,000 in a Premier League shootout — cashing in minutes before the end.
Ethan Conway, 24, bet £219 on three correct results at the end of the season last Sunday.

He predicted Brighton 0, Manchester United 2; Liverpool 2, Wolves 0; and Sheffield United 0, Tottenham Hotspur 3.
He won £5,130 with United leading 1-0 and was “overwhelmed” with his luck – before Rasmus Højlund scored a second for arch-rivals Liverpool in the 88th minute.
Had the scaffolder held his nerve, he would have won £814,000 at 3,717/1 punts.
“My heart is broken,” he said.
“The chances are only 50/50.
“You either cash in or you don’t. My family and friends were also in disbelief — but they’re happy I won five grand.”
Ethan, from Mountain Ash, South Wales, added: “It was just a rough guess and it came. Pure luck.
“There’s no way I’ll be betting again anytime soon. I’ll have to get over this first. I won and ran.”
