Man promises to tweet bank details if QPR beat Chelsea

A football fan has put himself at the centre of a flurry of Twitter attention after publicly betting his bank details on the outcome of a Premier League match.

Tweeter @KillerKarrit, who also gives his name as 'Michael The Dug', was so confident that bottom of the table QPR would lose away at European Champions Chelsea that he declared:
