Gambling log

In other news, I gave up gambling yesterday, having lost over £1,000 over the last ten days. Rob Wright has been properly letting me down lately and nothing I backed was doing anything (well, even more annoyingly, I had a few close seconds). But then Geoff rang me today from Newmarket racecourse, which prompted me to have a look at who was racing, and who was tipped... Coupled with the fact that I'd had three pints over lunch, the temptation was too great, and I was soon enjoying the rush of my biggest ever bet to date - £1,000 on the nose on Rob Wright's nap of the day. The odds dropped before the off because there was a non-runner so I ended up on a big favourite. Still, I was pleased when it won.
