If I could say I was level with the bookies

after 56 years (making you about 74 as you can't legally start 'til i8) I would be a happy man indeed. However, taking the value where I see it helps limit the losses to manageable proportions. If that means betting against my team, so be it. Why do you think bookies love having offices at football grounds ? It is because most people bet blindly on their own team. And then look at how many home games we have won as a percentage over the last 4 years...
