My Charlton supporting uncle, who moved to a most pleasant part of San Fransisco many moons back, was over the other weekend. He is not short of a bob or two...
He offered me this wager....if Swindon beat Charlton over the two games (on aggregate) then he would pay for myself and family to stay with them for a week or two. If Charlton beat swindon, then I pay for him to fly over and watch a charlton game of his choice...
after about 5 mins thought I went for it!

Have you got spare money to burn?!
SF is a great place, or I though it was when I went back in the late 90's. I assume you've been over there before?

yeah several times, hols there are great. Since (althought they wont admit it and very deep down) they miss their extended family and british roots, they treat us like kings when we are there...very tempting.

Bad odds indeed ! And there's no real way of hedging against it unless by some kind of spread-bet. I think Jimmy's uncle knows his Onions.

It goes on something like first person to score, fewest number of yellows, exact details still to be decided... |

My son and his Exeter supporting friend play l'oser gets their bollocks slapped' when the teams play each other. It's done on an individual game basis and a draw is treated as a victory to the away side - therefore my son's mate has very sore bollocks so far this season.
