With each weekly online shop, Claire and I treat ourselves to a scratch card each.
As you’ll know, the last few weeks I have been in hospital. Despite this little setback, we still had to get our gambling fix.
While lying in a hospital bed, I wasn’t really in the mood for trying to win money.
This meant that I returned home to two scratch cards. Add those to the one which arrived in today’s order, and that makes three!
The question was, from these three scratch cards, totalling £9, how much would I win? I say “I”, any winnings would be split equally with Claire.
So, how much did I… I mean “we” win?
Prepare the drum roll…
£6.00
Just the £3 loss.
For those wondering, two of the three cards were winners. Each paying £3 each. Basically a refund.
See, kids. Gambling doesn’t pay. Listen to Ray…
“When the fun stops, stop, motherfucker!”

I received an email yesterday afternoon from Sky Bet. Not being a regular gambler, I would normally mark such correspondence as ‘spam’, deleting it from my inbox. However, in this instance I opened it. Inside was some waffle about a new online game I could play on my iPad. Blah blah blah. I read on....

The final week of my Christmas/New Year break has been a rather uneventful one.With no football, thanks to the weather, I spent my Monday in the company of Sky Sports’ Jeff Stelling. I made the afternoon interesting by placing a huge £2.00 (yes, 200 pence) bet on a massive accumulator, which if correct, would have...
