I posted yesterday about tips for Cheltenham.
Mrs T does not like me encouraging gambling, so here are my rules.
Only bet with money you can afford to lose.
Myself, I put a wee bit extra aside for big events like Cheltenham. Mrs T and I both save with a credit union also. In our household we try and plan for big occasions, this year we have a 21st.
Both of us also have a "betty boop" savings jar which holds about £1000 in £2 coins ( we let girls open them and count their "booty" for big birthdays or Christmas.
It means money is not coming out of the household budget and Mrs T does not moan at me having a flutter (especially if I win lol) Timalloy (economist) {Ed007's Note - My gambling now extends to one of those lines with 6 questions like, 'Will there be a goal after 75 mins', a whole £2 on it lol I used to put a coupon on on Saturdays but don't even do that any more.
Betting on horses is a mugs game to me (no offence to anyone, just my own personal opinion), it is the most corrupt sport in the world and 'bookie bashing' is a myth. McKenna the bookie from Hamilton is a close family friend, bookies never lose in the long run.}

If ever evidence was needed the media love a negative spin on Celtic yesterday proved that. Firstly, well done County on a very spirited display. But listening to the broadcast and written media you would think we were walked over. Having watched some highlights this morning one thing is glaringly obvious. Stokes and Miku should have scored. This would have sent us in at 4-2 for the break. However poorly we played, and let's be honest we were not good, that makes a helluva difference at the break. My main gripe about yesterday is we are not quick enough when breaking. We seem to use ten passes when four would do. Where is the desire from the front players to make an angle for a pass? Time to forget Miku, had enough time and not shown much really, Lassad, same story the game here just does not suit him, and start giving Watt a regular start. Still learning but always on the move, I feel he gives us more than the other two, and indeed Stokes. green jhedi

ED007 can someone tell Mr Lawwell that there is no point in going on.
In today's papers Brian Stockbridge has stated that Rangers will soon be making £100m a season, how can Celtic possibly match the riches of a 4th tier club, even with our debt free club playing in the champions league. Timalloy
Ps Mr Stockbridge's book of fairytales can be bought at Rangers Superstore (the portacabin at the back)
