Gambling.

[onion2k]

I bet on loads of things. Usually I win a little more than I put on. Today though...

Mayer v Grosjean Set Betting Grosjean 3-0 evens
Federer v Hewitt Set Betting Federer 3-1 3/1
Schalken v Roddick Set Betting Roddick 3-0 8/15
S.Williams v Capriati Set Betting Williams 2-0 4/6
Mauresmo v Suarez Set Betting Mauresmo 2-1 3/1

Accumulator.. £4.50 down.. £368.00 return.
Lucky 31.. £15.50 down.. £303.40 return.

So for £20 I now have £671.40!

Plus I had a tenner on Portugal. So thats another £26.25.

And £5 said Henman/Ancic would be less than 39.5 games. Netting me £9.17.

£35 turned into £706.82.

Thats approx $1,280US for our American forumites.

Go me!

Well, duh, for tennis, you voted for the ones who were obviously going to win...how could Suarez ever beat Mauresmo?

(Good thing I'm too young to gamble ;))

Quitting is easy. I've quit gambling loads of times.
