    Stoke City supporter Trevor put a £40 accumulator on the club’s opening day Championship clash against Rotherham, and was cock-a-hoop when they won 4-1.
    But he said: “They ran out of cash. I was told to scan the code, which I did the next day.
    “I had to put in my bank details to get my cash. When I did it said ‘Congratulations, you’ve subscribed to flirtymeeting.com.”
    So far he has been debited £2.50 but said his bank told him it had blocked a further £46.

    Trevor, of Whitchurch, Shrops, added: “I had to tell Julia. She rolled her eyes and said it could only happen to me.
    “The bank statements hadn’t come through for her to see, but I did have to say something first.”
    The saucy site promises paid subscribers that they “will meet singles and possibly meet up as early as tonight!”
    The club said on-site betting is provided by a third-party.
