The Nigels 2-0 defeat by West Brom on Saturday equalled Charlton's record dating back to 1957 of losing 7 consecutive games by 2 goals or more. I would like to see Everton only beat them by 1 goal on Saturday as it would be a record worthy of sharing amongst the Kent and Surrey elite!!
In all honesty the law of averages says we must be due an away win. But I see 0-0 as the likely outcome.
My other half's eldest is just getting a divorce because her hubby has lost over £20k playing on-line poker and the first she knew about it was when she came home unexpectedly and found him playing..... she is a lovely girl and he is a fecking arse!
Unfortunately, this beats the eight and a half grand that my friend's wife racked up in a week. Please let us never be sponsored by one of these parasites. Wouldn't want anybody who knows what they're doing and understands the risks to be prevented from accessing, TC - but for beginners, these sites are lethal.
The problem happens when people go chasing their losses and start doubling up! it never works on a racecourse and it certainly never works at poker!
A friend invited me round to watch a game on Sky, and afterwards he showed me this online poker site. He was on it for ages, and he did win, because he's got the patience for this type of poker. However, by the time he'd finished his 3 young children had all gone to bed without saying goodnight and he hadn't noticed.
I lost over £5k the first 6 months I started playing (about 8 years ago now) - learnt very quickly to avoid the cash games as they are mostly pro's on there and they WILL get your money eventually. Since then I have stuck to MTT's and playing the patient game you can win big money - best has been $12,500 in a $50 tournament in February - also qualified to a few live events which I didn't last very long in as the calibre of player at those events are very good so tend to sell my tickets back to the site if I win them - if you enjoy playing but don't want to risk your hard earnt, lots of sites run freeroles where you can win real money for 0 outlay, but 1000s of people enter these and to win them you have to be very lucky and very patient. Was thinking about setting up a not606 poker league for anyone that's interested.
