Hitting the crash barrier

I had only one bet yesterday – £20 on a horse at 3.7 in a six-furlong race. As it was traditionally quick out of the stalls, the plan was to lay the horse as soon as the price dropped to about 2.5.

Unfortunately, my computer crashed just before the race started – and before I had placed my lay bet. By the time I had rebooted it, the race was over, my horse had lost and I was £20 poorer.

It seems as if everything is against me at present.

Running total: £740.18
