hope your idea of a 'high stakes' bet is less than 100 quid, because I don't fancy your chances and would hate to see you giving up anything to a rag...
here's a quick link if you fancy your chances at 'testing' where you are with regards to gambling smarts (the Professional Gambler's Aptitude Test):-
<a class="postlink" href="http://helloquizzy.okcupid.com/tests/the-professional-gambler-aptitude-test" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://helloquizzy.okcupid.com/tests/th ... itude-test</a>
it's got a few funnies in it along the way too...
- please feel free to post your results to it in this thread, should be interesting and a laugh as well
