Oliver Braddon has assured The Advocate this morning that he could stop gambling literally anytime he felt like it.

The 27-year-old solicitor at Adams & Adams in the French Quarter, who would reportedly bet on two flies walking up a wall, sat down with our reporters to outline why his girlfriend’s concerns are unfounded.

Braddon, who bet on over 7.5 corners to occur in the 10 pm Morocco v Portugal game last night, explained that he only punts because he is bored.

“Nah seriously though, like if I actually wanted to I could stop tomorrow,” he said.

“But I don’t want to stop. So ahh yeah I’m not going to. But I could if I felt like it,” said the boyfriend who had a nudge on some South Korean Volleyball a week ago.

“It’s not like it’s a problem anyway. I don’t understand what the problem is.”

However, Braddon’s girlfriend Courtney informed us that she has a slightly different perspective on the matter.

“He has asked me numerous times this year if I wanted to go on a date day with him to the races,” she said.

“Uh no. But I do find it incredibly romantic when we go out to dinner and he checks his phone every 5 minutes ‘for work.’ It’s almost cute how clever he thinks he is, but I can see through him like a pane of fucking glass.”

“Anyway, he can’t stop but he needs to. I’m going to call his mum tomorrow and throw him under a bus. Oh and I’m going to transition us to a shared credit card,” Courtney said.
