A battle between a High Street bookies and a punter who claims he's owed £5m has escalated into a full blown dispute involving police, Action Fraud and the industry's adjudicators.
Darren Hope is adamant he should be enjoying a champagne lifestyle after claiming to have scooped £5m from a European Champions League accumulator when Liverpool FC beat Barcelona 4-0 on their way to lifting the trophy.
But Mr Hope admitted he has no concrete proof of his accumulator win as he said he handed in his betting slip at BoyleSports in Coventry.
