He also lost probably >$33 million.
The article doesn't say how much he lost.

If you actually even thought twice about believing what you read, you would next verify the source of the information.

Another fine example of posters who wish to do absolutely no diligence on hearing fantastic myths that are propagated to the naive. If you wish to not get taken in this world; you seriously need to learn how to utilize critical thinking a bit. I certainly
hope you don't get your trading research from the national enquirer, which is about
as legit as the news of the world tabloid sourced.

"We have been contacted by several customers in relation to an article in Sundayâs News of the World. We would like to make it clear that Betfair was not asked to comment on, or validate any aspect of, the article ahead of publication.
Although we cannot comment on the activities of any specific customer, some facts which may be relevant to some of the claims made in the article include:
the biggest winner in the relevant Britainâs Got Talent market (Susan Boyle winner - Yes/No) won less than £3,000.
No Betfair customer won £1.5 million or anything even vaguely approaching that amount betting on the Champion Hurdle.
No Betfair customer won £500,000 or anything even vaguely approaching that amount laying Monsieur Chevalier at Royal Ascot
The figures shown in the account statement screenshot in the News Of the World do not reconcile to any Betfair account.
The monies present in a Betfair account are obviously no indicator of the sums won or lost on the account.
We would encourage customers to be wary of the claims of anyone purporting to have a profitable system or strategy.
We would encourage customers to retain a healthy degree of scepticism toward any claims made in the press which are not validated by Betfair."
