Has there ever been a more heart wrenching sight in British sport than seeing Ricky Hatton lying on the canvas, eyes closed believing he had let everyone down? It seems unthinkable that someone as hard as Hatton could've actually been knocked out by another fighter. One client believing that the Hitman could hold out, sold the 'Mayweather wins in round 10' market at 9 for £5. Part of our new round betting markets, it awards 100 points if your chosen boxer wins in that particular round. As Mayweather all but assumed control in the 9th, Hatton, who knew it was all or nothing, came forward only to be floored twice in the 10th by the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Our man had even more reason to feel dejected after seeing this punt leave him shy of £455.

More gold from Mr. O in the East Midlands.... "Sorry, can't or simply refuse to remember the exact date of this trade but from painful recollection I can say that it was from a match in the Euro Championship finals around 12 years ago. Having sold the time of the first throw-in somewhere around 120 seconds for £5, I was shocked to see the ball stay in play for the best part of three minutes. When a throw was finally given I wasn't spared, as just as it was being taken it appeared that someone had thrown a sandwich on the pitch! The referee, thinking that something more suspicious was afoot, halted the game for another three minutes. Now 360 seconds had elapsed before the throw-in was taken and play restarted and I was in terrible trouble losing over £1,300. The trade came to the attention of the Racing Post who published a small article the next day titled; Sandwich Costs Spread Customer Dear! - painful memories indeed!"
