Gambler who lost £2m sues bookmaker for losses

A gambler is suing a bookmaker for £2m he claims he lost on bets after asking the firm not to let him bet again.

Graham Calvert, 28, a greyhound trainer from Tyneside, would often place bets of more than £25,000.



He claims William Hill was negligent in continuing to take his bets, after agreeing he would be "self-excluded".

The High Court will decide at a hearing next week whether William Hill - which strongly denies any wrongdoing - can be held legally liable.
