When we were kids Mum & Dad let us put a pound on a horse in national and so I thought I would continue with the trend with my nipper. She picked out 2 horses one at 150-1 and the other at 33-1, she liked the colours. I put the bets on £1 each way so giving her at least a small chance of winning something. 33-1 came in first. £43 to an 8 year old must feel like a small fortune.
So, thats set her on rocky road of gambling addiction.
