A DRINKER who got back his lost phone saw a mystery punter had put bets on with it — and won him more than £650.
Christopher Dennis, 52, now wants to give them a £300 reward.
The property agent was out with pals when he lost his mobile on January 16.
The unlocked device was then handed in three days later — and he saw someone placed 14 football wagers on his Betfair account.
Incredibly, they won him just over £650, with the punter cashing out before some ended to seal the wins.
Christopher, of Cambridgeshire, said: “I’m really curious to find out who put these bets on.

“They are obviously a betting genius and I’d like some tips! I definitely owe them a few drinks, but I’d like to offer them £300 as a thank you.
“The most I’d won before was £80 on Argentina winning the World Cup.”
Christopher, who had been drinking at the Champion Of The Thames pub in Cambridge, went on: “I like to imagine that when they kept on winning they realised they couldn’t take the money out as it would just go to my bank account, so they handed the phone in.”
He added: “I’ve learned my lesson though — I really need to set the lock on my phone, otherwise this could have ended up very differently.”
