Season Betting

Now that we're only a few weeks away from the first day of the football season, I am looking at ideas on which teams to put in my annual antepost bet.

I don't even know which bet to do this year.

My 2009/10 bet receipt is still inside an envelope and in a drawer in one of my bedrooms - I have not had any courage to walk into the betting shop and cash it in.

I would look a right plank handing it over.

My calculations - after Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup - showed that I was only expecting a few pence back so I didn't see the point of cashing it.

It would be embarrassing to walk in with an £80 bet receipt and leave with a little over 40p.

It could have been worse.

But I doubt it would have made me feel any better!
