If you had half a brain this would tell you something. Somehow I think you will continue.
Well surely I'd have to get at least one win before quitting. I shall continue.

This is bullshit.
My winless run continues.
Give up, gambling is a mugs game. Once you won you'll decide winning is fun and you'll always be down. Quit while you're behind, instead of waiting to be ahead, and you won't waste as much money chasing the unattainable dream.

I'd say that from all the bets i've ever made it is around 60/40 in favour of the bookie. I'm happy with that and bet for the fun of it. Getting the days of healthy returns makes it worthwhile i think

Don't get me wrong arriba, I have nothing against gambling and understand some simply have fun doing it. I make a couple of bets a year just for fun. I made about £540 profit from our promotion and beating Vale comprehensively. Some people do become addicted to it though and waste their lives doing it. I've seen it first hand with my grandad losing everything and another member of my family constantly making silly bets to make a tiny return, which should they win, they then squander on the next 'sure thing'. (£500 on Man u for the title just before kick off against Man C...) Personally I have too great an attachment to money to gamble. I also hate losing more than I could ever enjoy winning!

Agree Barry. It's all about getting the balance right. Expect to lose and enjoy the wins.

Cant believe Russia are odds against.
Russia 7/5 Poles 11/10
£20 double pays outs just over £100
