Cheers, that sounds a great bet. I shall have some of that.

I am on Kingston hill at 10/1 on the Derby today.
You won't be able to see the race from there.
Geoffrey Chaucer for me, c'mon!
So ends my gambling career >_<
Just won my first ever poker tournament on Pokerstars.
Anyone else play poker on there?
Been playing for years and have finished on the final table a few times but never won a proper tournament. (990 players)
Took a lot of hours playing but what a thrill.

Well done Steve!
I need to put a quid on Italy to jinx them for later
Well it looks like your company finances are in good health, anyway.
I'm surprised you've resisted the other two, Germany have the best team and Holland the rub of the green so far which makes me think they'll win it. 33-1 a month ago! Got ??£2 on, I don't have a company credit card myself, but 66 squid'll please me.
Aaron, your ?£ needs editing.

I'd check the second hand on the rolex then if you pick up both for three and a half grand.
I think it might be Herr Tong!
Hair Tongs are more my area.

Must have been a tense shootout last night Stylee! Are you going to hold your nerve or hedge with a lumpy bet on Germany?

Hedging at 8/11 (ootright)? 90 minutes betting - the draw? Ah'm feverishly cogitating and rubricating as we spik..
It's all aboot getting an evens-or-bayter bet in the final..
..because usually, both finalists are odds-on (ootright).
But this year, at time of posting, there's one tim in the final who're bayter than evens tae win the cup ootright..
..and that's the Arrgies.
Mah heed says lump on.. but ah already have..
..and mah hearrt? Ah havnae goat a hearrt.
You are Alex Salmond and I claim my £5.
I can't believe it but you can get 12/5 on Holland to beat Brazil in normal time! ,
Unlucky Stylee. You had the value at the time though, a scant consolation though I imagine.
