Fat gamble
A British gambler lost over £200,000 because of his fat fingers.
The unfortunate man was trying to place a bet at 999-1 on a 15-8 favourite in a horse race at Wolverhampton on betting site Betfair, but his chubby fingers caused him to press the wrong buttons and he ended up offering the odds to other punters.
According to Britain’s the Sun newspaper, one opportunist eagerly took up the wager and won £214,000. A couple of smaller bets were made, mounting up a loss of £237,500, before the man realised his mistake.
Betfair’s Tony Calvin said: "The client simply made a mistake."
