The State Of Play

I am backed into a corner with the Gambling God competition. I have four points left to place on the Hennessey Gold Cup tomorrow afternoon.

The favourite is State of Play which - judging from the papers I have read - is locked to win it.

I've placed all my remaining points on it at 5/1 so will make 20 point profit if it comes in.

Yes, I did say 'if it comes in'. Nothing is for sure in this world except for death and taxes.

And my Gambling God performance is dying a slow and painful death.
