Well, the World's Unluckiest Football Better is having a stellar nervy day.. I did a bet on Brighton, Sheff U and Donny.. stand to win £360. Started to get itchy feet over Doncaster a few weeks back.. (after they lost to Blackpool). Never doubted Brighton (at the time) but - instead of a single on Plymouth at 5/1 and a Double on Plymouth and Newcastle 53/1 (or an If Cash then... ) I just did the Double to cover the minimal return from 2 out of 3.
So, even after Brighton could have covered the hedge with a win at Norwich (ditto Donny last week) we arrive today where it still looked ok on both fronts.. Donny go 1-0 down, no worries Plymouth are 1-0 down, Donny are level - happy days.. and then.. yes, then.. it's the double whammy. Donny (totally in charge) lose again with a 1-3 home defeat and Plymouth now come from behind to beat Crewe.. All of a sudden my hedge bets looking off (if Brighton win tonight) and everything's in the toilet..
But wait - Brighton are losing.. maybe it could be £540 instead.. (if Brighton don't beat Villa and Toon win next out at home to Barnsley.. plus Plymouth hang on to best Donny in Div 2).. Having spent the last 80 or so minutes doing my best Ceefax stare at the Brighton-Bristol City score on Flash Scores... So please.. Brighton and Donny or (better still) Newcastle and Plymouth next week.
