Oh Eric, never bet too big! And NEVER brag about it on Twitter!
Liverpool make Champions League history with emphatic Maribor victory
Darts legend Eric Bristow has had an absolute shocker, trying to earn himself a cheeky grand on Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Bristow boasted on Twitter prior to the game that he had laid down a huge £3,300 on a win for the La Liga giants – in order for him to earn ‘easy money’ but Zinedine Zidane’s side came up short as they could only manage a draw.
An own goal from Rafael Varane gave Spurs the lead before a Cristiano Ronaldo ensured the spoils were shared – although that result was no good for Bristow.

He posted before the match: ‘Just had £3,300 to win £1,200 on Real Madrid to beat Tottenham easy money.’
And it proved to be easy money for the bookies…
What a nightmare!
