I've been stirring it up with a few letters I have written to the letters page of a newspaper I get each week.
I wrote the initial letter criticising the paper's decision to suggest Athletic Bilbao as having a chance to beat Barcelona in the game they played on November 5th.
My letter was published a few days later. Luckily for me - and especially my ego - Barca managed to draw after falling behind twice in the game.
A guy took exception to me and wrote complaining that it was a value bet even though it didn't pay off.
My response was published a week later where I pointed out that a value bet is worthless if it isn't a winner.
Fair point, yeah?
Well - according to another reader - I am in the wrong on that one.
I can't be bothered writing in again but it's pretty obvious who is right.
Analogy time.
If you bought 'value milk' in Tesco at a decent price, returned home only to find that the product was out of date would that represent value?
We all know the answer to that one. Unless, of course, you like the taste of sour milk.
