I used to go out with a gal who worked part time in a bookies. She used to phone up when her dodgy punters gave her background info. I used to walk up the road and put the same bets on, despite not having a clue what was what. I won quite a bit over the few months she was there.
Apart from that I've got 20 with one of the rags in the office as to who finishes higher this season, us or them. Trouble is, we've just booted him - do I phone him up now and ask for the cash - or wait 'til the end of the season?
