Employee steals 67K from bookmakers but ends up gambling it all away with the same bookie

This is a funny story from Ireland as a guy was able to manipulate a glitch in their software and steal over €67,000 but he avoids jail because the company didn't lose any money in the end as they got it all back over time through the guy's compulsive gambling

The machines he stole from were most probably the self service betting terminals which are common in the UK and Ireland

 Funny story, not the first one I've heard though.

Brand new to this site.  Just saying hello.

Dumbass should have just bought scratch tickets.

Lmao

First off as well 

I'd love to know what he was betting on, probably horses and soccer mostly I assume but probably everything else 

and ... how did he prove that he gambled all the money with just the sportsbook he was working for. What did he do, keep all his losing tickets just in case he got caught ?   

This is another story I remember from a few years back a longer read but more detail about his betting patterns

I've copied and pasted below a short snippet from the article

''  It is hard to get there, almost a million euro, especially for a desperate man. But on a certain night in April, he feels he might just be able to do It . . . For a weekend in April 2011, when he is most in need of it, Tony 10 has the magic.

Starting with a €4,000 deposit, a lucrative run of results that include Charl Schwartzel’s victory in the Masters, Real Zaragoza bringing up an accumulator worth nearly €50,000 and a win for Argentinian tennis player Brian Dabul, Tony 10 amassed €462,000 in winnings.

He was halfway to somewhere. Or nowhere, for there is an inevitability about how this sorry escapade ends.

In a manic 12-hour spree, he torches the lot. Of 31 bets on obscure football teams around the world, 29 fall. Carnage. ''

this is different level degeneracy

this guy a legend
