The controversial star pocketed a cool £25,000 while gambling in Manchester's 235 Casino and was keen to share his winnings with someone less fortunate, according to the Sun.

After a big casino win, Mario Balotelli gave a homeless man £1,000 (PA).
A source told the newspaper: 'There's a guy he always sees around town with ginger dreadlocks and a beard. He carries his possessions in two carrier bags.
'He was outside the club in the early hours so Mario handed him a wad of notes after his big win. The tramp couldn't believe his luck. It was enough to keep him going for months.'
In contrast to the bad-boy persona Balotelli has developed through strops, tantrums, insults and red cards since his £24 million move from Inter Milan last summer, it seems that this kind of behaviour is typical of the 20-year-old Italian.
'Mario is really generous. He always hands £20 notes to the Big Issue boys without even taking the magazine,' the source added.
Although Balotelli may be a good Samaritan as far as Manchester's homeless community is concerned, it seems some of the city's nightclub staff see him slightly differently.
Earlier this month, the same paper reported that the City striker had his Maserati car attacked by bouncers he had 'tormented' outside a lap-dancing club.

Yet another cracking Mario Balotelli story
today at 1:41 pm

Although it is as yet unverified, another story has emerged about Mario Balotelli that perhaps trumps all of the crazy episodes in his life to date.

Madcap striker Balotelli has had some weekend. Just over 24 hours after setting his house ablaze with fireworks, he scored the first two goals in an emphatic 6-1 derby win over bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford yesterday, a result that confirms City’s superiority over their bitter rivals.

The Italian, whose previous escapades include throwing darts at Manchester City youth players, playing with his iPad on the bench and turning up uninvited at a women’s prison, is the talk of the town at the moment and another humorous story about the eccentric Italian has emerged on Twitter today that perhaps trumps everything he has done in the past.

The source of the story is Manchester City fan and Umbro PR worker Chris Dolan (@chrisdolan), who tweeted the following story on his Twitter page earlier today.

“I've just heard a Mario Balotelli story that betters Tesco & the fireworks...OK, so his mum's over from Italy, asks the cleaner if she has everything she needs.

“Cleaner: ‘No, I need all the practical things - iron etc.’

“Mario's mum: ‘Where can we go to buy these things? Write me a list and we'll go and buy it all’ Cleaner: ‘John Lewis.’

“So Mario's ma sends him & his mates to John Lewis with a shopping list in hand...Mario returns to the house 5 hrs later...empty-handed.

“Cleaner: ‘Er, where's the iron, iron-board etc?’

“Then a big John Lewis van arrives...van contains nothing from the shopping list bt (sic) the following 'practical items': - giant trampoline, Scalextric, 2 Vespas, table tennis set'.

The story may well be a figment of Dolan’s imagination and designed to capitalise on Balotelli’s popularity at the moment, but Times’ writer Ben Smith revealed on his Twitter page today that he had heard a story about Balotelli that he called “priceless” and is due to discuss it later this evening, so maybe it is true after all,

“Mario Balotelli - the gift that just keeps giving. You'll know what I'm talking about at 8pm tonight. Priceless #MCFC,” he tweeted.

If any other player was the subject of a story like this, it would probably be immediately dismissed as fiction, but Balotelli? It certainly can't be dismissed.

How'd he get delivery so quick??

[papereyes]

Fireworks story is BRILLIANT

quote it?!

only thing i can find are stories saying there was a blaze but he did not start it

He fired off a firework into his bathroom ...

[who are ya?]

Not having that last one

[papereyes]

In April it was reported that he had averaged 3 parking tickets a day since joining City.

The other week the Maserati misfired so he just abandoned it

LOL

If he goes shopping, he drives the 200m to his local Tescos (its along Deansgate) and takes the parking ticket as a parking fee.

did ballotelli get booked for revealing that t-shirt at the weekend? if so, why? I've never seen a player booked for pulling up a football shirt to reveal a t-shirt underneath.

it wasn't offensive to united or their supporters.

[Ian Royal]

I can't decide whether he's a total dick, or a genius for just acknowledging that he's got far too much money and not caring about it.

he comes from a very tough background. he's been through an awful lot actually. it's no surprise then that he has a temperament issues, but clearly a good hearted young lad who appreciates what he has as well and doesn't forget where he came from. i like him!

[Friday's Legacy]

sorry? the full removal of a shirt - yes, but to simply pull it up to show a t-shirt underneath i haven't seen that before sunday's match.



so are you not allowed to reveal a shirt underneath any more? strikers reaching a marker for example. seems a strange decision if so. i see nothing wrong with the above.

[Bandini]

Wasn't Robbie Fowler booked for his dockers t-shirt. And that Arab footballer re Gaza t-shirt.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

And Paul Scharner barely 24 hours before Balotelli.

[Ups and Downs]

How'd he get delivery so quick??

I'd say having a shite load of money and being a Premiership footballer would speed up the standard delivery time for most places.

I like this guy. I hope he stays at City for a few years yet.
