Huh?

.


An Australian gambler who lost millions in a A$1.4 billion (548.5 million pounds) gaming spree is suing one of the country’s largest casinos, claiming he was targeted by managers despite a known gambling addiction.

- Reuters.


My question is: How did a 'known gambler' accumulate A$1.4 billion??

  4. According to my mum someone tried to do the same in the UK and lost his case. How much is a billion pounds? Am I right in guessing that it's more than £10?

  7. He gambles on credit. He's the mascot of the current credit crisis hitting the US.
