What about " St George" Dave McNulty I was walking out of HP with him one night after he had done his arse he threw his binoculars 100mtrs in the air and screamed you'll never see me on a racecourse for the rest of my life. Guess who was the first person I bumped into at Rosehill next day , with patched up binoculars and a pocket full of money.
Poor bugger won $750,000 in lotto about 4yrs ago and 6 mths later some arsehole who was trying to get his hands on some of the dosh stabs him to death in a pizza joint in King st Newtown.
