Paddy Power had me in its grip again yesterday evening. I dithered over placing a bet on Djokovic to take the 1st set 6-3, and then guessed the 7-5 result of the 2nd set. Shame I picked Mayer to win that set.
I seem to be luckier with my lower league football predictions. I had Gillingham to be winning at half-time, which covered most of my losing bets.
How I was inspired to make this selection is an area ripe for psychological research. Gut feelings are weird like that. I am probably swayed by the longer odds and then convince myself of the outcome by some superficial reading online.
I need to find some pseudo science to inspire my choices for Super Bowl 50. Packers vs Bengals is looking good at odds of 80/1
