    How's this lawyer jailed last week, obviously the betting agencies new he was a fish and was just rolling money into them and losing but still - surprised they where taking million dollar bets from him when he was betting on favourites all the way ? They must have crunched the price so short and he probably didn't care or even realise by the sounds of things.

    Clarke spent an estimated $100 million with betting agencies TAB and Sportsbet between 2015 and 2017, including a $1.5 million bet on an NRL game between the Roosters and Cowboys, $1 million on a New Zealand provincial rugby game and $1.2 million on two American football games.


    He said he was "actually a little scared" to add up the figures to get the exact dollar amount he had spent, and admitted he did little to no research before placing large bets on the favourite to win.
    "I don't know anything about those games or what league they play in," Clarke said in reference to some of the bets.
