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. He bet on three separate footballing outcomes, and amazingly all three came to pass. Bookmaker Joe Crilly from William Hill remembers the circumstances which led to the mammoth payout. This clip is originally from Phil Williams on 11 June 2014.
