how would you feel if it was your bet?

I have advised him to approach the press to see if they might publicise his lost bet. Hoping the bookies might take pity. Fat chance, I know

Have you ever seen a bet cruelly snatched away from you?

What were your circumstances?

Taking away from the fact you have to be an idiot to bet £15 on Vertongen to score 1st and a 3-1 win...that's harsh luck.

The t*** shouldav cashed out go and at least got a few hundred back.

On a few occasions I've been minutes away from winning £1000's only for a last minute Darlington equaliser to ruin things, but that's only from a quid.

There used to be a long standing bet in my then local, that you couldn't eat a tin of cat food in 5 mins.
My mate was a very stubborn bloke, had done a lot of other 'orrible stuff for bets.
He assured me this was a breeze.
After a lot of money flying about,that weekend in the small packed local, anticipating some fun, he was sat down,while the entire boozer looked on, hushed.
A large tin of whiskers prawn & fish special was plonked in front of him, with a very large desert spoon.
As soon as the first mouthful went in, the stench of that muck, the crunch of the texture, I saw the horror & pain in his eyes.
I lost a packet.
f***er only managed the one mouthful
He stunk of cat & fish all day.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Bet he does't feel two grand today.

Vertonghen to score at any time during the match I would say. Also some sites say first and last goalscorer for the same price.

Oh my good God, my cat won't even eat that stuff and see when I open the packet it practically makes me puke. How cats eat what they do beats me.
