I fancied having a bet to make the game this evening more exciting,
and to double my failed amount spent on football betting to £20. It's amazing.
The site has odds for everything from which side will kick off to how many minutes added time there'll be and how many first half corners. Mad.

Do you bet or gamble on owt?

My job is researching what we'll do next.

If either team Man Utd or Barca win in 90 minutes, we stand to lose money either way, hence why you can bet on all sorts of sodding things

Sometimes I go past the bookies
and there's a poster in the window advertising "Newcastle Vs Arsenal 3-1 £10 wins you £160" or some such thing, and I catch myself thinking "wow that sounds like a really good deal".

I tried to do a bit of rugby gambling a while ago
My thirty years of knowledge and experience counted for nothing when faced with a Bradford side made of crying mongs. So I packed it in as a career choice only £15 the worse off.
