According to my sort-of-ex bird
who used to run a Ladbrokes: the bookies lose money on single win bets on football. So if you must bet, you could do worse than put £100 on Man Utd to win each Saturday.

You *can* win at Roulette...
You just need a digital camera and computer with you that nobody will notice.

Not funny, but really rather cool.

Wildric
I've never really been a big gambler, the odd fruity and roulette table here and there but my good friend is a different story.

I went to school with Ric (aka Wildric) and this guys ability to do maths was unbelievable, I remember him watching countdown at the age of 15 and wiping the floor with the contestants. Anyway he went to uni to do accountancy, maths, pure maths and further maths or some bollocks like that?! And this is where it all went wrong/right.

He found ladbrokes.com...

Within 2 years he'd won their yearly poker tournement worth 50k (i think it was that figure anyway) and has gone on to win plenty more. He now co owns/runs SharkPokerSchool.com and since leaving uni all those years ago if hasn't done what I would call a days hard work in his life.

Yes, I am jealous!

Gambling is pretty simple.
You just need to know the secret:

Phase One: Gamble
Phase Two: ???
Phase Three: Profit.

Send me a message And £200 for information on the elusive Phase Two.

No
I don't think I'm turning into my parents. Lucky really, as they both have alzheimers.
