Compulsive Gambler sues bookmaker

No it's not April 1st...

Self-confessed compulsive gambler Graham Calvert claims William Hill allowed him to run up losses of £2.1m after allegedly punting £7.5m in only 18 months. It's a staggering amount of money by almost any standard. He is apparently a top class greyhound trainer but it seems he did not have the same level of skill when it game to gambling.

He once gained notoriety by staking a whopping £347k on the US to win the 2006 Ryder Cup. It was believed to be the buggest ever recorded bet on golf...Europe won emphatically.

William Hill have, needless to say, refuted the claims.
