100%

I had a flutter on the football over the weekend as I was trying out a strategy for next season.

I picked eleven matches and did the multiples as I usually do but did them at one pence a line. So, I staked a total of £20.47 as there were two thousand and forty-seven bets in total.

By the end of Saturday I was looking at a bunch of red crosses on the piece of paper I used to keep track of the results.

Still - I held out what little hope there was that it would turn around on Sunday.

No such luck.

Every one of these eleven games lost for me.

I sent a text message to my friend bragging that I had 'gone 100% in the bet'. He knew - judging by his response - that I was being ambiguous and speculated that they had all lost.

Am I that predictable?

Evidently, I need to change my approach and fiddle with my system. I have a few months to do this.

August and September couldn't come sooner.
