The man who won £400,000 on a World Cup bet
Bookmakers are predicting that the 2014 World Cup in Brazil could see a billion pounds wagered on a single sporting event for the first time ever.
It's brought back memories of the legendary £8,000 bet wagered by Birmingham flower importer Adrian Fitzpatrick.

Bookmaker Joe Crilly from William Hill remembers the circumstances which led to the mammoth payout.
