Gambler to sue bookie for losses
A gambler who lost over £2,000,000 is set to sue his bookmaker for letting him bet.Graham Clavert 28, from Tyne and Wear says he wants betting firm William Hill to pay him back his losses since 2006 when he had an account with them.
He says that because he told the firm not to continue accepting bets from him, which they did, he should not be liable for the losses - despite continuing to bet.
Graham claims he bet a whopping £7.5 million in 16 months, sometimes carrying bin liners stuffed with £100,000 cash to place his bets.
He once bet £347,000 on a single golf match he but lost. At the time, it was the biggest golf bet in history.
Mr Calvert alleges the betting chain failed in its duty of care and is taking William Hill to the High Court on Monday. The bookmaker vigorously contests the allegations.
