Honest Mondrian's Gambling Joint

[mondrian]

A few years ago, I used to work for a company that was really going places. We doubled our staffing level every 2 years until we got some cunt who became our new MD. Pillock changed the company's strategy and we went down the shitter in double-quick time.

I was at the wrong time in my life as was the case for a few of us. Some still haven't found jobs and have been 'doleys' for so long, it's untrue.

I decided that I could go on the dole, bitch and moan about how life was so unfair and lead some meagre kind of existence or I could do something else with my miserable self.

I took a couple of years out and did some research.

Most pubs, if not all, have what used to be termed 'One Armed Bandits/Fruit machines'. You put your money in the slot, pulled the arm - which spun some wheels, and, when the wheels stopped, you lost. Lethal evil fuckers they are. There's more chance of finding a virgin in a brothel than winning money on those nasty sons of bitches.

These days, they are called FOBTs - Fixed Odds Betting Terminals. Yup, they have changed their name but, essentially, they are still one armed bandits, you still can't win and those bastards are just as evil as their predecessors.

Ain't suggesting that this hallowed place install FOBTs but. let's face it, a pub without some form of gambling just ain't a pub.

What did I research in the couple of years I took off?

Horse racing. I became a full-time gambler - except I didn't (gamble that is).

Go into any high street bookies and you'll see society's dregs in there. It's pathetic. Poor sods ain't got clue 1. They are just fodder for Willbrokes. Join that set and that's what you'll end up being - broke.

Me?

Horse racing ain't about horses. It's about numbers. I just play the percentages and, long-term, make a profit. This is my 10th. year as a pro. That's how come I can post on this forum whenever I want. I don't have to pay homage to some fuckwit of a boss with the IQ of a plant and the morals of an alley cat on heat.

So why horses and not casinos or the slots.

Cos you can't win long term on any of these. These games have an in-built advantage in the house's favour.

Why horses?

Well, you lot are smart enough to figure it out so go figure.

Anyway, the yearly over-commercialised and sickening pigfest is almost upon us and that means money is required so that we can all over stuff our faces with food and drink ourselves into a stupa (which is a Sanskrit word meaning heap).

To that end, I intend to post a daily tip on here.

Maybe we can make a profit and maybe not. Let's see.

Here's today's Tip:
