I am very, very slightly down at the moment.
Though I'm not really a proper 'gambler', I suppose.

Then I'd say you are doing much better than most 'proper' gamblers.
Why didn't Horace Batchelor ever clean up on the pools and retire in luxury?

I've got a strong feeling that Celtic will beat Kilmarnock by at least 3 goals, and Everton will beat Sunderland by at least 2 goals, at the weekend. With odds of 7/1 and 3/1 respectively, I can't resist putting a fiver on. If they do it I'll get £140 back.

Gordon Mills who managed Englebert and Tom Jones fleeced them both of their massive earnings because he was addicted to gambling and became indebted to the Mafia. Shows how it can get too heavy.
I ended up just putting a tenner on Everton and Celtic to both win their games by 2 goals or more. Celtic should do it easily, and as for Everton, well Moyes left 6 of the players who beat Spurs last week, on the bench for the Derby, to keep them fresh for today, so they should play well.
Shit!!! I've only just found out that the Everton game was an early kick off, and we drew 1-1!

Well done you Gerry
I am going to put my small bets on Euro 2012. How does one choose a bookies? I usually just wander into whichever I see when I remember and try to ignore the looks of disdain

Cheers Gerry, but not opening an online account, know how that's gonna end! I've banned myself from spending any more than a tenner on a bet. Wandered into a bookies and got disdainful looks but it has been done
And your selections are?
Ha, oh yeah, was far more involved in how intimidating the bookies was 
Spain 5/2
Czech Republic 66/1
C'mon Czech Republic, ya knows I loves ya baby
