Thought I was gonna cream the Bookies when I walked in and got 100/1 on Darryl Fitton to win the Embassy. I walked out the shop with a grin thinking "Daft bastards... I know more about darts than them, and no way should a man whose top of the County averages should be 100/1" Spent all the time from the Bookies to my house thinking about what to spend the �1000 on when Darryl roars in. Sadly he was defeated in the first round, and it's reasons like this that you never ever see a poor bookie riding around in an Old Ford Capri with the arse hanging out of it... That and a few dodgy Horses not running to form when they have been very heavily backed.

NHL Ice Hockey is one thing I've managed to sting the Bookies on... 3 years on the run, winning hefty sums of cash - twice with the Detroit Red Wings and once with the Washington Capitals... where they got their odds from I'll never ever know. Still they've wised up to that one as well now as they don't do divisional betting anymore.

Happy Punting and remember... it's a Jungle out there, and there's always a snake willing to take your hard earned off you.
