Millionaire sues bet platform for *checks notes* taking his bets.

In a legal development that has truly redefined the boundaries of personal responsibility, a prominent online betting platform finds itself embroiled in a lawsuit for the cardinal sin of… allowing a customer to bet. A multimillionaire, having enjoyed the thrill of parting with £1.5 million on various soccer outcomes, is now attempting to reverse a High Court decision. His grievance? That Betfair somehow permitted him to engage in the very activity its entire business model is predicated upon.

One can only imagine the operational complexities arising should this appeal succeed. Will casinos be obliged to install mandatory sobriety tests before patrons approach the roulette wheel? Will high-end patisseries face claims from those who simply couldn't resist a third éclair? The argument posits that the site failed to "protect" an adult from his own choices, a concept that threatens to disrupt the very fabric of free will. Perhaps, moving forward, individuals identified as "problem gamblers" will be issued state-mandated digital nannies to prevent any further inconvenient self-determination.
