Eric Bristow makes yet another betting gaffe

Not such a 'Crafty Cockney' after all.
Eric Bristow will go down as one of darts' biggest legends. The five-time world champion picked up bagfuls of trophies in his long career.

In October, the always outspoken Bristow bragged that he had placed £3,300 on Real Madrid to beat Tottenham at home in the Champions League. He announced on Twitter that the bet would win him £1,200, and was "easy money". The Champions League holders could only draw 1-1.

This time, though, Eric was on to a winner. In early December, he backed seventh seed Adrian Lewis to win the World Championship at 33/1. His one complaint? That he didn't do it earlier. Jackpot didn't land Bristow the jackpot, though. The two-time world champion was stunned in the first round by preliminary round qualifier Kevin Munch. I'd say 'stick to punditry' Eric, but, well...
