Fortune-Telling Tortoise Up for Sale ¶
With the ongoing betting craze around the world, punters are keen and desperate to get their predictions for sport events right.
However, more often than not, gamblers end up losing their stakes and even savings for incorrect predictions.
But one could bid farewell such losses should they be willing to part with a staggering £40,000 for fortune-telling tortoise.
According to Alexei, owner of the reptile, Donatello, has the ability of correctly predicting match outcomes.
He says Donatello has already won him £1,250 through bets but is now ready to let him go as his "family urgently needs money."

"The principle is simple. You write the names of the football teams on pieces of paper and the tortoise will go to the winning side so you need to bet on that result," SunSport quoted Alexei.
"My family urgently needs money, therefore I have decided to part with my beloved tortoise," the Russian added.
