When I used to bet I'd often just back anything ridden by A.P.McCoy.

Many, many years ago, I was doing a night job with some asbestos strippers.

One of them was addicted to betting on the gee-gees.

Three AM, he was scoping out his bets for the next day, while giving me his strategies : "Back the horse that's traveled furthest to the meet : you don't take a horse all that way to not win!" - type pearls.

The supervisor listened for a bit, before advising me that "If he knew anything about picking winners he wouldn't be here, stripping assy, at three in the morning."

I've seen it. Sad. I saw a fella (working for a floor laying firm) that had his phone in his hand constantly. I asked him if he was playing an addictive game like Tetris or summat. His colleagues gave me a weary look saying he's squandering next months wages.

I sat and watched a (wealthy) fella we go skiing with, actually beg his mate to put a bet on for him (Man city v Orient), whilst we were being mini-bussed to the ski resort. He began shouting at him when the fella procrastinated and protested, saying things like 'I'm good for the money', blah blah, 'get a move on the odds will change' etc.
He admitted that he had to suspend his gambling accounts (or divorce) and that this was the only way he could now bet.
