A wise man once said ....

A wise man once said to me that gambling was a past-time for the foolish.

However, as we enter this year of twenty-eleven, I have a fortunate feeling. A fortunate feeling that I have decided to act upon and as I result I shall pit myself against the planetary powers that be so see just if my luck might be in.

I've decided not only to become familiar with my local book-maker, but to also enter the variety of competitions that I regularly hear promoted on the wireless. I remember seeing a Mr Robson Green of Newcastle on the television, and he was offering the chance to win a vacation to the faraway land of Florida to attempt to catch some truly large fish! Now that would just be splendid, thank you very much!

And so today a paid a visit to my local Ladbrokes. With a full fixture list this midweek, I have decided to complete their Goal Rush coupon. This entails predicting the games where both teams will score at least one goal. I have chosen two lines, both with a £2 bet. My first line consists of 4 games, the second is made up of 8. My bet is as follows;

Derby v Millwall *
Scunthorpe v Watford *
Sheff Utd v Doncaster *
Peterborough v Walsall *
Blackpool v Birmingham
Cardiff v Leeds
Newcastle v West Ham
Everton v Tottenham

With the first 4 games just kicking off, I have gambled £4 and won £0. I do hope the next 48 hours are kind to me.
