\u201cI am a single parent. I\u2019ve had four heart attacks and received heart treatment 11 times, and all of a sudden, I thought my life was going to be a lot better,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been horrendous. There\u2019s been times when I wished I had not even won the money,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBetfred contests that he didn\u2019t win the money. But the operator has failed to provide evidence of the game\u2019s alleged malfunction because it\u2019s licensed from software giant Playtech, which supplies the same game to numerous online casinos.<\/p>\n
