My form has been pretty poor this year.
I am not a high roller at all so normally max bet is somewhere between £10 and £20. I did ok through the football season and built up a bit of a pot but went to the take my seat for the catalan home game in April and looked at the Catalan team that were warming up and stupidly got all giddy and stuck £100 on us to win. Then a few weeks later noticed it was Leeds v Saints and james Roby's 500th game so went and stuck another £100 odd on Roby for MOM.
Then John Wells goes and awards the MOM to Johnny lomax with a perspex BETFRED background.
So the cupboard is now bare and the fun has most definitely stopped.

Sky bet do a bet which I find is a decent one odds can be a bit stingy but hey ho..each team to score one plus try in each half..5 out 6 came in at magic weekend odds can be lik 4/6 8/11 sometimes evens but could be worth looking at

No doubt. I'd like to see someone's betting history for the last year though. Bets placed and winnings returned.

I am always suspicious because bookies (e.g.) Fred Done net worth £1.2Bn) seem wealthy and the people hanging about in betting shops not so much.

Isn't the owner of Bet 365 the richest person in the UK?

Denise Coates, reportedly currently and for the past few years the highest paid Chief Executive (in Britain).

Aha, chief exec. Company owned/founded by the Coates family?

I thought it was the punters who threw money down the metaphorical drain, not the bookie.
