bet builders are doing my head in

Every single week. Four legs of my bet builder home and hosed, and the fifth — the fifth! — is some daft player shot or corner count that dies on ninety minutes.

Welcome to my entire life. I've started capping mine at three legs because the fourth and fifth are just where hope goes to die.

Each leg you add stacks the margin against you a bit more. They're engineered to look one kick away from landing. Keep them small and treat them as a bit of fun, because that's all they are.

where hope goes to die

Poetry. Three legs max from now on.
