WARNIE OUT OF CONTROL!
C ould Shane Warne’s love of a punt be getting over the top? The former king of spin set alarm bells ringing on Melbourne Cup day after he posted a series of betting slips on Instagram. “What a special day. Backed the winner, plus second & the trifecta!” he wrote, adding that he won $20,000. However, fans were quick to ask just how many losers he’d backed, with one posting: “Well done Warnie – now tell us what you bet…???” His love of a bet has come under fire before – in 2010 he was targeted by anti-gambling groups for promoting online poker.
