At the time he thought little of it, but now suspects there is something 'iffy' after the Tory betting scandal came to light.
A punter who is set to lose more than £800 on an election date says it will “stick in the throat” if Tories are found to have cheated.
A total of five Tory figures so far are being probed by the Gambling Commission after allegedly placing wagers on a July election. He said: "I'd say the fact that someone bet the full £200 the day before the election was called does stick in the throat. I had an inkling that it may have been a suspicious bet because there wasn't any speculation and it was such a big bet."
"I've placed lots of political bets over the years, it's something I do as a sideline which I've had some success with. I only stake money that I can afford to lose, and I would urge others to do the same."

A further five officers, including members of the Royalty and Specialist Command and Parliamentary and Diplomatic Command, are being investigated by the watchdog.
