It took a LOT of bad pub to get a British bookmaker to fork over the £1K they owed a grandmother, who placed a £5 bet on her grandson to medal at the Olympics, which he did (bronze) at 200-to-1 odds in the gymnastics competition. The wager was placed in honor of her husbands, who was a betting man. They tried to welch out of it because said medal was a team medal vice indivdual. The problem with their argument is that nowhere on her ticket was there ANY language making that restriction.

After a LOT of bad pub in the press, they FINALLY caved. How stupid can you be?!?

The Bookie I know would have paid her off with no problem.
