Graphic Designer seeks legal advice after £7.1m bet payout is rejected
According to reports, a bookmaker is refusing to pay out on a bet worth £7.1million to South Western graphic designer Cliff Bryant who placed money on snow fall on Christmas Day.
Bryant placed two £5 accumulator bets on snow falling across 24 towns and cities in the North and Midlands on Christmas Day, but bookmaker Ladbrokes refused to pay out claiming that the bet was accepted by mistake.
The company has, however, paid out on the single bets which it says are relevant – a sum of £31.78 instead.
Each bet would have netted Bryant £4.9million and £2.23 million, but Ladbrokes has apologised to Mr Bryant for the mistake.
The graphic designer is now seeking legal advice on the matter.
