Littlewiggy, the story gets even worse. It was pre - Christmas and l was in a merry mood. I went in a few days later to see if my massive punt had made any impact on the odds. They were now 400/1 , so l put another couple of tenners on at those odds to put in family members Christmas cards. It was a bit of a stressful day on Sunday. A few bottles of San Miquel helped! I thought the whole thing might be over by February , Liverpool don’t usually go big on the League Cup. When it was still running come May l was starting to think there’s a chance. Oh well, l was given a hell of a good run for my money. I still think, if City keep that squad together, they might do it next season, but you won’t get those massive odds. It’s only money |

So, not that mathematics is my strongpoint, but that stonewall "handball" penalty you scandalously didn't get at home to City, Pie, cost you the chance of potentially being one game away now from winning ten grand? Blimey, I hope you also sent a sternly-worded letter to the FA along with Fat Frank!
Mind you, if that had come off, I'd have been straight on here to ask you if I could lend a tenner.
(For anyone who didn't get the "gag" in my earlier mail, it was based on the sheet banner left in the dead of night by Evertonians 'outside' Rafa's house saying we know where you live ... which was actually left outside his neighbour's house)

Littlewiggy, with the £20 that l put on for family members at 400/1 it would have been £18,000. I remember saying at the time to my missus, when Everton didn’t get the penalty against City, that will be the one that will probably spoil the bet. Mind you, whose to say they would have scored if they’d got a penalty? At this stage, l would have definitely covered the bet and talked the others into doing the same and backed Real to win The Champions’ League. So winnings would have probably been half the £18,000. I think Liverpool will do it, but as they showed against City , Madrid are no mugs. |
