During over 30 years as an active punter, I have never once backed a winner at Wolver. Or Southwell for that matter.
That and who can make it to the first corner first. Then 90 celebratory laps.
I once went to Bristol to visit my girlfriend for the weekend, said hi to her, drove to Chepstow and blew all the money I had on a series of donkeys. She was surprisingly understanding when I got back. Gave up gambling on the nags after that.
Bit boring now but F1 has been a great sport over the years.
60s, 70, 80's and early nineties particularly good.
Love motor sport - particularly watching it at the circuit.

I loved Rush, the movie about James Hunt and Nikki Lauder. I do vaguely remember them both when they were racing too, but I never really found the sport interesting to watch, even then. Moto GP, on the other hand...
Went to a qualifying day at Silverstone a long time ago. Nigel Mansell was driving. It was a wet day so their times counted for nothing as the times from the drier day before decided grid positions. It was one ****ing boring day out.
I still go racing a couple of times a year. Went to the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in May, and am going the Cheltenham for the International Hurdle in December.
A brilliant day out, but I don't have the time or inclination for the intensive form study required to give you a chance againsty the bookies. Still nothing beats he buzz of backing a horse you are absolutely certain is the best in the race, and watching it get the job done with the roar of the crowd in your ears.
I can remember my first proper bet. Belmont King in the Scottish National. £5 stake at 16-1. I was a student at the time so the winnings lasted me about three months...
If you liked that then given the movie Senna a go if you haven't already.
Excellent film.
I think F1 is great, but I am probably a bit biased as it provided me with a good living for many years. For me it was the best job I ever had, despite the intense pressure The experience of being at the track is phenomenal, but you can see so much more on TV these days
Something tells me this hasn't gone as well as the op originally planned
