Season Over : Collect Winnings

BettingI don't do gambling, went to Las Vegas once and I thought it was a dreadful place apart from a very good Indian restaurant. However I make an exception with an end of season flutter.

"Can I have a Yankee on four football matches?" I asked at my local branch of William Hill's. "I'll ask the manager" she replied. Of course you can, you can bet on anything these days. Last year it was a grumpy bloke behind the counter, this time a very helpful women who produced the Yankee betting form. It's a stupid 11 bets on four outcomes, the mathematics favour the bookmaker but what the hell....

Zenit to beat Rangers in the UEFA Cup
Portsmouth to beat Cardiff in the FA Cup
United to beat Chelsea in the Champions League
Rangers to beat Queen of the South in the Scottish FA Cup

Didn't win much as it's all the favourites winning at odds-on but at least I won this time.
