    I can't even make eye contact with women.

    JJ, I fukking hate myself.

    I need help.

    JJ, I need someone to cradle ... someone to make me feel like I exist.

    But I'm a man, and women aren't just going to walk up to me and be interested.

    DAMN IT!

    Why didn't anyone ever love me or give me a hug?

    JJ, I don't want this.

    JJ, I'm slowly killing myself.
    loool

    Punter loses out on £8,000 accumulator bet winnings after Coral refuses to pay up - because THEY gave him wrong odds

    • Unemployed Oshane Grant, 42, of Bristol, was hoping to pocket £9,250
    • He was betting on goals in France, Serbia and Argentina football games
    • His £100 accumulator won but Coral only paid out £1,217 after its error
    • Clerk gave Grant odds for teams scoring four - rather than three - goals

    An unemployed punter has lost out on more than £8,000 after a bookmaker gave him the wrong odds on a winning bet.
    Oshane Grant, 42, of Easton, Bristol, was expecting to pocket £9,250 if France, Serbia and Argentina’s football teams all scored at least three goals in their World Cup 2014 qualifying matches.
    His £100 accumulator with Coral came good when Serbia put three past Wales, France scored four against Belarus and Argentina smashed five past Paraguay in their games last Tuesday.

    Bet: Oshane Grant, 42, of Easton, Bristol, was expecting to pocket £9,250 if France, Serbia and Argentina's football teams all scored at least three goals in their World Cup 2014 qualifiers

    Mr Grant celebrated with a night out with friends before he had picked up his winnings. He was also planning on handing some cash to relatives and spending the rest on a car and decorating his home.
    But he lost out when Coral refused to pay the full amount. The bookmaker admitted that a clerk had mistakenly given him the odds of the three teams all scoring four or more goals - rather than three.


    More...



    They said they would only pay him £1,216.67 - the total he would have got with the correct odds.
    But Mr Grant said: ‘I don’t want to hear their excuses. I would like them to give me my money. I went in there, asked for the odds which they had to telephone for and made my bets.

    Price isn't right: Gareth Bale of Wales (left) and Serbia's Aleksandar Kolarov battle for the ball during the World Cup 2014 qualifying match in Cardiff last Tuesday. Serbia won the match 3-0

    ‘I had looked at the quality both Argentina and France were putting on the pitch and could see they had a good chance of scoring a lot of goals.
    ‘I don’t want to hear their excuses. I would like them to give me my money'
    Oshane Grant

    ‘I also saw that Wales were unlikely to play Gareth Bale - who is one of the best players in the world - so knew they would struggle against Serbia.
    ‘I even asked if they were sure about the odds and they said “yes” so I staked more money than I would have normally. I even got the bookmaker to sign the betting slip.
    ‘I was so excited when the games finished. I went to the desk and they confirmed I had won £9,000 but said I would have to come back tomorrow to collect my winnings.

    Big victory: Argentina's Lionel Messi scores a penalty against Paraguay during a World Cup qualifying game in Asuncion, Paraguay, last Tuesday. Argentina won the game 5-2

    ERRORS COSTING OTHER PUNTERS

    In April 2012, Coral refused to pay out £1,250 on Stoke-based golf fan Lee Beardmore's winning £1 bet on the US Masters.
    The 39-year-old backed Bubba Watson £1 each-way at 40-1 to win - but an error on his slip gave him Tom Watson's odds of 1000-1. Coral gave him £66 as a goodwill offer.
    And in September 2008, Jack Waland from County Durham was given 325-1 on Ronaldo scoring first and Manchester United beating Middlesbrough 3-1 in a football match.

    But when the bet came in, Coral told the 25-year-old student it would only pay him £65 - rather than £815 - based on the 25-1 odds he should have got. Coral apologised and said the error was made by a new staff member.

    However, one mistake had a happy outcome.
    In July 2012, Amber Galligan accidentally bet on different horses to the ones her disabled father had picked out - but it ended up seeing her convert a £2 stake into a cool £394,487.

    The 22-year-old from Newcastle had gone to a BetFred shop for her father Thomas, 53, and won the weekly Scoop6 bet - which involved picking the winners of six televised races.


    ‘I was so happy and went out celebrating with friends. I gave away £200 to them because I was picking up £9,000 the next day and wanted to share the wealth.
    ‘I was planning to get a car for myself and fix up my home. It is a lot of money to me and I can’t just let it go down the drain.’
    He added: ‘The silly thing is I would have made more than they are now offering me if I’d stayed with how I was originally going to bet before being offered these odds.
    ‘What I really can’t understand is that I can’t go to them when I lose and say I had made a mistake - but they can do it to me.’
    A Coral spokesman said: ‘The bets were written as three or more goals, however the Coral member of staff has incorrectly applied the odds for four or more goals.
    ‘This is auditable and transparent as these markets are publicised on odds comparison websites and in newspapers so there is no dispute over this.
    ‘However, we sympathise with the customer and as the error was made by the member of staff we have offered to settle the bet at the very best prices available anywhere on the high street on the correct market requested.’
    The spokesman said Oshane can contact the Independent Betting Adjudication Service and Coral will abide by their ruling.
