An ambitious punter has gone to war with gambling giants Coral after claiming he was short changed out of more than £14,000.
Liam Manifold, 30, from Staffordshire placed a bet on a series of outcomes at the recent World Cup - which culminated in Argentina beating France on penalties. And while Lionel Messi was in dreamland over in Qatar, Mr Manifold was similarly in clover.
However, when he rushed to collect his winnings - which he was under the impression would be just shy of £15,000 - he was informed his bet wouldn’t stand at the odds. And the gutted Maintenance Engineer couldn’t have too much to moan about, after combining bets in a treble which were almost intrinsically linked.
