Hard luck stories, what are yours?

[reamsofverse]

Don't think I have ever had the fucker of a day I have had today.

First up, I had a tenner on Lando Norris to win today's Austrian Grand Prix which he would have done if he hadn't become so impatient and had a coming together with that spoiled brat twat Verstappen. Sick of that guys attitude. If I'm not winning I'll make sure you won't either and that is exactly what he did today. Both cars made contact and took each other out of the race. But for that Norris would have won me £65.

Then tonight I decided to have a win, win bet on England v Slovakia. I had a tenner on the Slovaks who were 6/1 and as I went to cash out £61.77 Skybet suspended the cash out option and seconds later Bellingham scored.

Totally pissed me off. Don't mind a bit of bad luck now and again but today has been ridiculous.

Of course I wanted England to win but the way they are playing Slovakia at 6/1 was too good to ignore.

Could have been sitting here tonight £70 better off with that moron Southgate out of a job.

Switzerland will play us off the pitch simple as.

I also went to cash out, mine was about 36 as Bellingham scored

Sorry, not a betting story but since you ask, my day started none too clever. I have one of those Keurig coffee arrangements. Got up and went to get my first coffee of the day. Put water in, pressed the lever thing and then all the right buttons. Lovely brewing noises started. Went across to the fridge to grab some milk. Turned back to find I had forgotten to put an effing mug under the pourer.
Sea of coffee all over the counter and dripping on the kitchen floor. It's a real bastard getting old sometimes.

With all due respect Reams if losing c. £20 to to Bookies on two bets constitutes a very bad for you I suspect that your life is, normally, very good.

That’s brilliant!! Exactly the kind of thing I would do and a cue for my wife to wade in with her standard character assassination!!

When it was really hot last week, I got up in the morning, had no clothes on, went straight to the kitchen, put the kettle on, had an itchy arse, and while scratching I farted and accidentally shat in my hand. Does that count?

I did the exact same thing last night.
