I love a flutter on the GeeGees and quite often go to the races it's a great day out on Arc weekend Paris is great.
I found in my youth that the gambling aspect can take over your life and drinking time
I don't pretend to ever be a bog better but I did have some tasty sized ones. Anything up to a Monkey.
Of course they was good days and bad ones, I remember once going in to a local bookies with £5 in may pocket after a few unsuccessful small bets was reduced to my BFH. But had a bit of luck and ended up walking out £1.5k happy days.
But there has been the dark times too, that you try to forget. But I was lucky enough to have shares in a three horses one of them did okay at it's level and won five races before being sold on and got some quite good info from the stables on others.
But that's straying from the OP
I love a bet more in moderation now, was lucky enough to see the potential in See The Stars, while everybody was punting on O'Briens horses.
Now it's a super star and hopefully has a tilt at the Arc.
But at unless you already have a vast amount of money the only winner will be the bookie.
I think it's great when you see a 25p accumulator has won someone 50k
It can change peoples live normally for the worst.
