"Why?" I hear you ask, or maybe "What a pratt!"
Its nothing to do with the odds of actually winning it, its more to do with karma. I think you can be so so lucky ,or so so unlucky and there is a fine, fine line between them both. Today while a couple from England were meeting the press after winning £56 million on the Euro Lottery, over in Belgium a man was having to have his legs amputated so he could be released from the terrible wreckage of a major rail crash that killed many others. The odds were probably the same for each event happening and it seems strange or superstitious but i dont want to risk one for the another. I feel that if something so good can happen then so can something so bad. Mind you the winning couple might end up divorced, have battles over money and friends that suddenly appear, while the guy with no legs might go on to have an amazing and fulfilling life. I remember a story about a guy who was born with a deformed hand that went on to become famous base ball pitcher because he could put a swerve on the ball that knowone else could. Anyway i wish all concerned well.
Another step forward today. Bet Cat had the one selection which snapped a losing streak. £30 was put on Obe Brave in the 5.10. I could only get 5/1 this morning but it drifted and was returned the 7/1 winner giving a nice £210 profit.
Nice write up. Basically comes down to this for you, would u rather have £56 million with no legs or be poor with legs. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI only found your blog this morning and I have to say I like it so I added it to my slowly growing blogroll (ur number 3).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, after reading your post about winning the lottery it reminded me to check my ticket from the weekend and guess what ? I can't bloody well find it. I know where it's supposed to be but it's not there so now I'm all frantic in case it's lost for good and it's a winner. I've no idea what the numbers are as I asked for 2 lucky dips so there's no point looking up the winning numbers. Woe is me.
If you get a chance take a look at my blog offering and if you feel like adding me to your list I'd be grateful. Good luck with your foray into the world of pro punting...it's not for everyone and it's not easy and I wish you all the best with it.
