gambling to sustain a tragic addiction
The bad influence of m’colleagues led me to blue square, an online betting service. I wouldn’t say I’m quite hooked yet, but some flutters (wretched word) are now in place.
The odds for Bush winning actually slipped slightly today to 1.61 (the amount you’d get back on a 1 pound bet). I’ll give it a day or two in case it’s a trend then whack on the tenners.
The best fun for me comes from the music-related events. For example, would you be confident Outkast’s Hey Ya is MTV’s favourite single of 2004?
Double your money if you’re correct.
Franz Ferdinand for Best New Act? Triple it.

Shock news in that Steve’s party falls on this Friday, just squeezing in ahead of Saturday’s Arbroath trip.
The theme is period costume, which is kind of tough with three days to go. Current plan is the classic fallback of piracy.

The Blue Square odds of Bush winning the election lengthened substantially today to 1.67, which is excellent news.
The bookies are losing faith in the Republicans – hopefully with good reason – and I stand to make a few more quid should the worst happen.
