This gambler has 205,000 reasons to feel worse than Ed Miliband right now

Silly punt...

Ben Kenyon

Ed Miliband must be feeling pretty low right now.

He lost the election, he packed in his job and he won’t even be able to drown his sorrows eating a bacon sandwich.

But cheer up Ed because there’s one chap who’s probably feeling a sh*te sight worse than you right now.

That’s because one gambler spunked £205,000 on the General Election ending with a hung parliament.

The punter stood to win £45,000 profit if there was no clear winner in the polls.

It must have been a sickener when he woke up this morning to see David Cameron and his chums celebrating a majority win.

Still, he did win something…William Hill’s title for the biggest losing political bet of all time.

 

JOE expects it’s no consolation…
