Just thought I would share my little story with you, maybe getting a laugh will help ease my pain?!

On Sunday afternoon I had a call from a mate:

"Hi matey, get on this horse, put your months wages on it. I'm just taking out a second mortgage. It's a sure thing".

My mate gambles for a living, and I know nothing about that sort of thing, so thought "Why not", safe in the knowlege I can afford to lose 20, as there's no such thing as a 'sure thing'.

My horse romps home, easily the fastest thing on 4 legs. I jump up and down in the bookies and marvel at the easy money I just made. Counting my winings (just over 100) I phone my mate and walk back to the car, saying I owe him a beer.

Then I stop and look on in horror, the car has been clamped, 150 release fee!!

B"$%%"S!!!!!

Moral of the story is; stay at home and build your crawler like you should have been doing in the first place!!

Bad luck - that's life slapping you in the face.

Maybe its payback for you not sharing the tip with the rest of us ;)

It just hit me. You buy your cars online, but you won't bet online?

Hmmm.

I think you need to set up an account for that sort of thing. The only thing I bet on regularly is my mate not giving up smoking [that is a sure thing :D]

If this had been the internet I believe the correct term would be: pwnt!

From my Counterstrike days I think the term was "owned!"

Think of it this way, it only cost you slightly under 50pds at the "horse show" else could have costed you 170pds excluding gas and wear and tear on the vehicle. :D

I have a tip for you....don't bet on the horses ;)

I would rather bet on the gee gees than equities right now. Or currencies for that matter. Or property. Oops, too late :-)

And dont get me started on properties and shares - it will pick, it will pick up, it will pick up repeated.....
