    It was nice to get that one up. It paid a £53 profit.

    I’ll take a gander at the coupon later on.

    Absolutely true story from yesterday.

    A man in the West of Scotland walked into a bookmakers shop and put a bet on the Rangers v Inverness Caley Thistle match at Ibrox.

    He filled his coupon in and left the shop. He had stuck £60 on Rangers to win @ 1/5. :roll: – or so he thought. :lol:

    Only later did he discover that he had marked the wrong box. He had inadvertently marked the away box instead – £ 60 ICT to win @ 8/1. :shock:

    The man returned to the shop and pleaded with the manager to amend the bet. He insisted that it was a genuine mistake and would they please change it to a home win. After a phone call to HQ the bet was amended.

    He left the shop happy as Larry. :)

    Oh dear ! You all know the outcome. :oops:
    He must have been kicking himself all night when discovering that ICT had won the match 1-0. :cry: :lol:

    I am reliably assured that in this particular shop, 8/1 was the price on offer. I too was surprised by the low price.

    That was a sore one. Late goal from Porto loses 45 quid, and knocks overall profit in this thread down to £89.
