One bet made with money given to me to place as part of the job I was doing as a mystery shopper. The £60 paid for a meal out. Never went into a betting shop again. Depressing place, I thought but the staff were pleasant and efficient if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest ever single bet was £30 years ago when I backed Real Madrid to win at Darkhead only for them to lose to a team that included Alan Sneddon who I think scored that night. That gave me a warning that I have heeded ever since not to get in too deep but just treat it as a wee bit of fun. Anyway about to have breakfast followed by an enjoyable train journey with my family and friends before getting ‘Giddy for Galway’ https://galwayraces.com/ Good luck, I hope you have a great time. Personally I think Irish horse racing is a betting minefield - those enormous fields give the bookies too many chances to beat your bets, and so many winners with (on paper at least) no previous form to speak of. But obviously some punters must win, so let's hope you're one them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 I've just stuck my house on tonight's England v Sweden game. Utter madness, hardly watched any games so it's the kind of bet I warn my son away from. Ach well, I have a tent......................oh wait, I don't.

You do have a man cave though, so as long as you never stuck your back garden on the game too, you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, first of all, I dislike that "man cave" shite, stinks of dinosaur man and insulting to anyone's wife/partner. Secondly, it is a separate dwelling so I have somewhere, unfortunately washing/cooking could become an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38]What if the partner is also a man?That's what launderettes and chip shops are for, so no issue. The issue you may have is that (I assume) the power comes from that house you just "gambled away". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t know how anyone lasts the pace here for the full seven days of the festival - presumably for those that do is the reason behind them having a priest there on Sunday to deliver mass in the parade ring🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
