Parenting is often a thankless task, but the parents of Rob Tidy at least found themselves with half a million dollars when their son went off the rails. The 16 year old managed to turn $100 into over $500,000 in total before we was legally able to gamble. His father was left to explain the situation to the national press. “He ran into a lot of money” “He’s definitely grounded from going to the races now” Priceless!
