What a Loser – Literally

[Barman]

How a gambling addict lost £2.1m

At just 28 years old, Graham Calvert has achieved a great deal. He built his reputation as a greyhound trainer and became one of the best in Britain.

It was a job which earned him up to £30,000 a month and he built up savings of nearly £700,000.

He was even chosen to train dogs for international competitions and his reputation should have ensured a prosperous future.

But it has all been ruined by his gambling habit which has cost him his career, family life and business.

Surely that would be 'come by' instead Darwin.

Borderline.

The bloke's a complete chancer and what makes it worse is he's from my neck of the woods.

I wonder how much of those £700,000 savings he built up placing bets on dog racing?

And no doubt he’s placed a bet on the outcome of the court case too!
