Winner!

Got back from surfing with the vague recollection of my mate Mark mentioning that he wanted us to start a syndicate for betting on the football scores.....I checked my mobile and he had gone ahead and chosen a bet that 6 teams would win on Saturday (today) at 40/1 and I had agreed to put a fiver to his tenner......

The Teams were:

  1. Arsenal (certain winners.....haven't lost a game in 50 odd games)
  2. Everton (winning a lot one-nils recently and are in good form....so slightly expected)
  3. Bolton (Win more than they lose now....so 50/50)
  4. Leeds (Have mixed fortunes in the lower league but can win on their day)
  5. Stockport (Bottom of the 3rd Division and been on a losing streak.....i.e. no chance)
  6. Boston (Haven't heard of them....thought that was in America)

So obviously expected to be pissing our money away.....so got in the car and stuck on the radio to hear the newscaster announce that Arsenal, Everton and Bolton were winning......but no more information about the lower teams cause normally no-one cares! Got home and ran to the internet.......checked the results.....Arsenal 3-1 against Villa, Everton won as well....Bolton won even though tight last few mins........mmmm this is tasty.....Leeds won by a lucky goal......Wheres stockport.....mmm...ohh there ohhh bottom of league ehhh......they won....holy smokes.....now....what league is boston in......quick google search........2 nil..........happy days......horrah they won......£400 between us.......£200 each.......lalalallalalaalal

I have won 2 quid on a scratch card once.......and a cuddy toy in a fair ground.......and now I'm running around £200 richer......holy smokes......I have a feeling this gambling lark might have to continue......I have to choose the teams this week.....so the pressures on!
