Aye Gareth, you don't see a poor bookie thats for sure.

I don't bet on the orses though so luckily I'm not skint. Being paid in Euro's and not having to pay tax does help a bit though. As long as I keep away from Sky Poker when half pissed I'll be able to hang to most of it......

Game starting to sound shit, may investigate some live betting........

I used to bet on the horses-never big stakes (5 quid per weekend on accumulators). About 3 years ago i did an each way lucky 31 (10p per line=6.20). 4 of the nags one and the other came 3rd. I walked out of the bookies over 520 better off. Havent done a horse again expect for the national.

I have many tales of bad luck on horses, not loosing but not winning!!

When I were knee high to grasshopper one of my great uncles used to collect my granddads 10p each way saturday bet to take to bookies. One saturady I decided I was going to do this betting lark having study the ITV seven for several weeks, so handed over my 10p with a selection of seven horses picked after great thought and studying of form then picked the ones with black dots by them from the Daily Mirror, when it was a newspaper. After six of said horses won, the other fell over on the flat! I eagerly masturbated over a copy of page three of the Sun thinking of the vast quantites of money that would comming my way :D
Imagine my surprise when said great uncle appeared with no money for the wombat. Apparantley, you had to have all the horse winning to win something around £20k mark, I've never checked that out as it happens and he's dead now.

When I first moved to London, I worked part time with Will Hill, as the new guy I used to take our bets to the other shop as they didn't know me. Did a yankie one week, won a couple of hunded quid but took a horse out at the last minute when I found out Princees Ann was riding it! Twating thing came in at 10/1 :roll:

Probably the worst bet I ever made...........

I was trying to close a Sky betting acount but it had 7 or 9p left so wouldn't let take money out or close account as there was still "money" left. I put the whole lot on an accumulator, 15 teams I think from memory, was the limit anyway, just to get rid of the odd few pence. The f*cking thing only came in didn't it! Got just £90 odd quid back!

That my betting luck screwed for next two thousand years :(
