Shocking discovery shows Virtual Racing results determined by man captured in 2003 and forced to press buttons all day in giant chemical toilet somewhere in North Sea.

A shocking discovery has revealed that bookmakers forced a man to work in a floating contraption to determine virtual racing results.

Tarquin Bibby, 59, was held captive and forced to live out his days in a high-tech cubicle 46 miles off the Shetland Isles.

Beamed out every 2-3 minutes, virtual horse and dog racing is a novelty product in betting shops.

But, fearing the revelation of a man deciding the virtual results would lead to accusations of cheating, bookmakers kept Bibby under lock and key somewhere in the North Sea.

With remote access to the Racing Field Book, Bibby selected winners that would consistently provide bookmakers with zero, or close to no payout.

Sea Lion Costume

In case anyone spotted him when venturing outside the booth for daily exercise, Bibby’s captors forced him to wear a sea lion costume.

Although Mugbet would send weekly food packages, Bibby has survived since 2003 catching fish and begging the occasional titbit from passing trawlers.

Trawler man Gareth Timms said: “I thought he was a porpoise. We’d chuck him the occasional mackerel and a fag. I did think it was strange when he smoked 100 B&H a day. His floating office looked like a giant chemical toilet.”

Captured 16 years ago, the former panel beater who was forbidden to communicate with the outside world, sobbed as he was unmasked as the face behind crooked results on bookmakers’ ‘cartoon racing’.

Bibby said: “I was kidnapped after backing a winner in a Mugbet shop. They put a bag over my head, tasered me and I ended up in the back of a van.”

“A man in a wheelchair, wearing a mask and stroking a cat approached me before he put me in the booth. He said he would throw me in with the sharks if I refused. I think he was supreme lord of Mugbet or something.”
