The Question IRL posted:Is she still in the house? Have you been able to have a conversation with her about this? I’ve left for now and come back to England. I’m consulting with debt management charities etc to try to untangle what’s gone on and how to clear my debts. I fear my time living in Northern Ireland is over. She can stay there and let her family pick up the pieces

Apraxin posted:what the absolute gently caress is wrong with people I no longer bet on anything even tangentially to do with dogs or horses because the entire thing is an animal rights nightmare that I want nothing to do with, but yeah there definitely are hare coursing odds books. Just bet small amounts on sports and spend an hour and so shouting incomprehensibly at a television in your local if you really need to have a stake in a game imo.

The only stuff I've ever won money on is shite like Oscars betting and FHMs Rear Of The Year (thank you Cheryl Cole for the 200 quid). Stick to what you know, (i.e. good butts) and treat that money as a loss. Or don't bet at all. Betting is for cunts.

I've had to give up on scratchers and lottery tickets, so I'm putting the money into premium bonds instead. Still unlikely to win anything, but at least the money isn't just lost

Betting chat: I sometimes get a 'lucky dip' for the lottery (national or euromillions), maybe 3 or 4 times a year. But I never choose numbers because I "know" the time I don't play the numbers will be the time they win big & I absolutely do not want to get sucked in to it. When the lottery first started in the 90s, we had a syndicate at work, and after several years of paying in £52 each in a year and only getting net winnings of less than £10 each over the year, most of us wanted out but again we 'knew' the week we didn't play would be the week it would have won. When there was a quite big round of redundancies, we took that opportunity to dissolve the syndicate. I think I might have done a sweepstake in the 80s in the office occasionally for the grand national or whatever. I do remember nearly getting sucked in around 1980 when I put £1 on Sea Pigeon at 25:1 antepost & paid tax of 9p with the bet (so winnings would be non-taxable) and winning £25. First time I ever went in a bookies.  Sea Pigeon - he's the gentleman in the dark brown suit. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Mar 19, 2024 |

When I lived in Chester I walked past the racecourse when the races were on once and realised even if I’d wanted to place a bet I would have been linguistically unable to do so, all the terms and jargon were so completely alien to me. Literally could not understand what the odds meant or who was supposed to win or what situation was supposed to happen, absolutely bewildering.

Have you seen all those cop/detective shows where the police person happens to be the daughter of a racecourse bookie & knows how to talk 'tic tac' because she learnt it at her daddy's knee? I wouldn't have a clue either, not that I have any interest in horse races! We used to live not far from Chepstow Racecourse though.

My grandad ran an illegal horse book in the 60s and has a monument to him at one of the national racecourses. I know all of the mint tic tacs. Still managed to be less bollocks than all of the online fruit machines.

Never done a sports bet apart from a brief period when a friend convinced me to try matched betting, but that's some tedious poo poo that required way too much effort. I do Eurovision bets each year, one for the early popular candidate and one for the song I want to win that never will. I made a few hundred quid betting on Trump becoming president and Brexit on the assumption that the shittiest outcome was most likely.

Illegal horse books are the ones where they show you the forbidden equestrianism. Riding the horse upside down, the dark ritual required to become a centaur, that sort of thing.

That's a decent idea as a form of consolation. Only bet I ever did was as a group at the dog track, where we ended up for someone's stag do. The dog won, we let the stag keep the proceeds. Shares and crypoocurrencies, however...
