“When I got there on Tuesday to claim the money, they said their system developed a fault and the result had wiped out.
“I asked Charles, was it after the game declared the winner the machine developed a fault or before, but the defendant chased me out and I had no option than to report to the police,” he told the court, and also alleging that the defendants offered him various sums in millions in persuasion to give up on his wins, but he declined.
