A grandfather has finally been given his £400 bet winnings he was entitled to after a bookies refused to pay him. Following intervention from the Sunday People, Coral agreed to give Leo Antonaci his World Cup bet cash.
The 65-year-old said: “I would like to thank you for all your help and I honestly believe that I would not have had the same outcome without your help.” Retired mechanic Leo Antonaci, of Warlingham, Surrey, put £5 on a 3-3 draw at 80/1 with Coral for the World Cup final between France and Argentina, the Mirror reports.
Leo asked for the betting assistant at Coral to write “before penalties’” on the slip. And as he predicted, Argentina went on to win from the spot after extra-time finished.
