British Tycoon Appeals £1.5M Gambling Loss Case Against Betfair​

People like this guy mentioned should learn some self responsibility. He deposited and lost that money so he should just live with it imo.

The Independent refers to him as multimillionaire so he can probably afford to lose some.
But I would be more concerned with what happens if he actually wins his case. That would probably set a precedent and gambling sites would become much more cautious, and maybe cut off some customers just in case, in fear of a future lawsuit.

If he had won $1.5 million, should Betfair have sued him? You played, you lost :you take responsibility for it!
But for some people, it’s like an illness... or who knows? Maybe he wanted to lose so he could win much more with the lawsuit!

I mean really..... if the sites block suspected problem gamblers they complain,

and if they let people play they complain too???, you can't have it both ways,

I'm not wasting tears on a multi millionaire, sorry not sorry
