A PUNTER dubbed Dead Cert Man placed a £120,000 bet yesterday - saying he wants to win enough to buy a house.
He put the wad on Novak Djokovic at 1-3 to beat Roger Federer in the French Open tennis semi-finals tomorrow.

The Sun told on Monday how the tracksuited 33-year-old gambler has made £160,000 since March with a series of bets on odds-on favourites - mainly in tennis. He always uses the same William Hill shop in Central London, and started with a stake of £8,400.

His £120,000 wager yesterday - his biggest yet - will net him £40,000 if it comes good, taking his total profits to £200,000.

He has told staff at the shop he aims to go on winning until he has enough to buy a house.

William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: "I can't recall another tennis bet of this size."

Federer leads Djoko 2-1 in meetings on clay, 13-9 career overall, and 4-3 in the majors (no major meets on clay).

Djoko's recent winning record should be treated with caution in my view, especially when lumping 120k on it. Federer is still very motivated by the majors.

reminds me of the 'plastic bag man' few years ago,lumping on odds on chances in hunter chases,pulling thousands in cash out of a carrier bag.
Tv people finally interviewed him and asked him what he did for a living   replied  'this'.
Came a cropper that day lumping some thing like 40,000 on a competitive hunter chase finale,at stratford i think,on the 11/8 fav.
not heard of him since.

yes id agree with alun 2005 i dont know much about tennis but this is far from a dead cert federer although probably past his best is still a formidable opponent ,but i hope the guy wins his bet wonder how much he needs to get his house billys will take the bets as they know he only needs 1 loser and then its game over!

ANYTHING ABOVE 1.05 IS NOT A DEAD CERT OMO AND EVEN THEN YOU STILL HAVE TO FIND VALUE  ANYTHING ABOVE 1.05 IS NOT A DEAD CERT IMP PEOPLE

THERES A REASON WHY DJOKOVIC IS 1-3 AND NOT 1/20

does anyone think hills will take £120k on djoko to win at 1/3?

earlier this guy was betting on 1/20 or 1/100 shots and now 1/3.. does not sound right
Report tobermory June 3, 2011 8:10 PM BST
they would take it from this guy because they know he's a guesser, and they will get his winnings back , his original stake , and the thousands he will chase with Sad

though he does still have 40k left looking at the article

all his previous bets were all in

You'd like to think he'd cash that in and walk away but we know it won't happen Sad
