Gambler Demands Big Tips Back After Losing Two Weeks Later: Threatens Staff

A “generous” gambler tipped the betting staff big after his huge windfall only to demand all the money back after suffering a significant loss two weeks later.  He even threatened the staff at one point.

Police were called to the BetFred bookmaker shop in Manchester after being advised of the individual’s demands.

From the Manchester Evening News:

He stormed into the bookies around 1pm on Friday wearing a Chelsea football shirt and demanding his money back.

He had managed to lose all his winnings and wanted his £60 back.

He became aggressive and started to threaten staff, screaming: “You don’t know who I am. I want my money back by 3pm.”

The individual eventually left before the police arrived.

GMP posted the following summary of the incident:

They wrote: “Odd job today at Bookies. Man who had big win 2 weeks ago and left £60 tip, came back and demanded it back as has now lost all his winnings [sic].”
