Hate that

Just back from a day at the races up at the Curragh, and I'm feckn ragin'. Went up with a few of the lads for a laugh, no real interest in the horses.

Anyway - there was me standing around looking bored and some auld lad comes up to me with a tip for the 4th race. He was a bit tipsy but said something along the lines of "10 on 9 to win, trust me". The horse had a weird sounding Irish name.

So, I decide to ignore the advice and wander on.

10 mins later I find out the horse won at 25/1, and I would have won 220eur for my measly tenner. Alot of airigd for a student.

Still kicking myself.

So word to the wise, listen to people (even if they're drunk they're still talking sense).

Ah well.

Now next time an old drunken codger tells you what to do (eg to stick your mickey his mouth) well you know what to do.

Hmm. A student that can't add. 10 euro at 25/1 returns 260 euro.

I wouldn't feel to bad. The exact same thing happened to me, old man approaches with a 100% safe long odds bet. I spent my car loan on a 20/1 bet and I lost it all. I went mad for a month and have been on antidepressants for the last 3 years since.

You'd describe going to the Curragh as 'interesting'? :eek:
