My gambling habits are quite modest. I try to keep a £20 float going despite picking outcomes that have a slim chance of working out.
Yesterday my float had run dry so I had to replenish it from my bank account. West Ham were playing Aston Villa and there was a ‘bet builder’ on the Paddy Power app that looked tasty.
Watching the game in a local bar, the Doyen, I got chatting with a guy who was in Belfast for the Noah Khanan concert. A few pints later the match was over. West Ham 1 Aston Villa 2. It was a good result for me, the other criteria must have been in my favour too A £4 bet became winnings of £44.
