    Unlucky Turbo, I had a great few laughs from this thread, the whole asian cat and twitter fiasco a particular highlight.

    Would have been hilarious had you won two huge bets two seasons running :D

    I look forward to more of your antics next year. :)

    Cheers lads.

    Yeah the Lucky Cat didn't do me any favours at all. I should probably offer it up as a sacrifice to the gambling gods before next season starts.

    I will only be back next season if my shares perform well over the summer and I've a few quid to lash on an outrageous accumulator or two.

    PS Danny Graham is a right p rick!

    And Ian Harte scoring a peno. Really a shame that Long was taken off peno's.

    Well, there we have it. Shane Long's goals dried up over the last month of the season. A big opportunity missed as Danny Graham's goals also dried up.

    Hope to be back next season with a tasty accumulator or two.

    I must say thanks to all who commented or just read the thread.

    I may not have won the jackpot, but the bets served their first purpose in keeping me from lashing losing bets on every week. The slow reality of the bets losing also helped me avoid chasing which is the real killer for many gamblers.

    Cheers!

    Really enjoyed keeping an ear out for Reading and Watford scores the second half of this season.
    Keep up the good work, and I'm sure you'll be back to clean them out yet! :D
