October …crash, bang, wallop.
Oh dear. I’m sure everyone has weeks they wish hadn’t happened and the last week was one of them, from a betting and perspective and as an England fan. If I’d stayed in the peat bog at Woodbury common last Sunday instead of dragging myself through it, maybe I’d have avoided the miserable week’s work that was to follow. The horse racing results have been very unkind, leaving the results for October looking like someone has taken an axe and hacked into the profit graph. Whilst I know this will turn around in time and that the overall results are massively in our favour, a run of this kind always bothers me. The triple calamity of England’s footballers being virtually knocked out of Euro 2008, the England Rugby Hero’s narrowly missing out in the World Cup Final, and then the final straw last night which saw Lewis Hamilton fluffing his lines on his big day has hardly helped to lift spirits. Being an Aston Villa fan I expect to get salt rubbed into my wounds which happened on Saturday when we were thrashed by Man Utd in a game that I lost another £150 as I layed “over 4.5 goalsâ€.
That last bet just about sums up the week when even collecting on South Africa at 13/2 has felt like a kick in the cojones.
