They were the only winner i had out of the 9 selections, Slick
4 odds on football picks, only one of them won and only two places on the horses. Time for a fortnight break for me, change my luck.
Cheltenham approaching, i need to start looking at which races i want to bet in, too.
On another subject, has anyone heard of Mark Blanford?...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Blandford_(entrepreneur)
He's a life long Hereford fan, i met him in the executive suite after yesterdays 0-0 with Tamworth. A top, down to earth, sport loving bloke.
The first betting shop he ever owned was across the road from me and he told me that's where it all started for him (i told him that's where it all started for me too
). We got talking about a couple of his staff he had there and so on and how betting shops have changed etc.
He went on to tell me about him going on to open 5 or 6 other betting shops in Herefordshire before selling them some years later to help start up Sportingbet.
He is also a race horse owner and was excited to tell me about a horse that he owns, that is with Lucinda Russell. BIG JOHN WAYNE - came 3rd at Hereford in his first ever run in a good race and that it's very much one to keep an eye on. Maybe not right now but one definitely for the future.
