Staff at a Betfred betting shop in Manchester called police last week after a punter demanded the return of a £60 tip.

A couple weeks ago, a thirty-something man was in high spirits after legally relieving Betfred of what the Manchester Evening News called a “large amount of money.” Neither the specific amount of the punter’s winnings nor the event on which he wagered was revealed, but the punter felt sufficiently celebratory to share £60 with staff at the Cross Street shop.

Fast-forward to this past Friday and the punter returned to the shop in an entirely different frame of mind. Apparently having endured a run of bad luck, the punter demanded the return of the £60 tip. When staff balked at this request, the punter grew angrier, demanding staff make with the money by 3pm that day while cryptically informing them that they “don’t know who I am.”

Unnerved, the shop manager called the police but the punter amscrayed before the Greater Manchester Police arrived on the scene. Meaning shop staff still don’t know who he is.
