Unfortunately for Dietmar he tipped them to win (the final) in 90 mins though so did his dough again.

"That night I bought Australia for £2,800 at 340 runs. That meant for every run over 340 you win £2,800, but for every run under you lose the same amount. Australia collapsed for 237. It is a score I remember well. It cost me £288,400. Every wicket felt like a stab in the heart. By the end of the night I felt like I'd been scalped.
The next day, when I looked at the mess that was me in the mirror, I said "Didi, things have got to change.""
