Gambling addict who lost £120,000 went armed to Nottingham betting shop

After losing £120,000 of a massive £150,000 win, a gambling addict turned to drinking three bottles of whisky every day. Nottingham Crown Court heard how extremely drunk the addict was when he showed up at a store brandishing a knife and frightening the employees.

While the attacker yelled at them from outside the store in The Meadows while intoxicated, they managed to barricade themselves inside. When his niece saw him carrying the weapon in the street, she was able to convince him to give the blade to her.
