My last sports bet was around 10 years ago. I’d dabbled on and off for donkey’s years, probably betting less than £100 a year usually finishing down by that £100.
I was working late and, whilst waiting on some work info to come through, I fluttered my last £30 in my PP account on some racing at ??? The whole lot came in. It wasn’t a huge amount, not life changing, but I immediately transferred all the winnings into my bank account, closed the PP account, and went out for a cracking meal with plenty left over.
Something fundamental changed that night. After 30 odd years of occasional betting, it’s never crossed my mind since.
