I seldom bet anymore than a couple of quid at the most. My grandad has been doing horses for years (in a betting sense!) and he is the same, and he does quite well. He's 91, in a home and has parkinsons, but his brain is fine when it comes to working out odds and bets . I've stopped betting online altogether, i've went overdrawn the last 2 months and it has cost my nearly 60 quid in fees, so i just stick a couple of quid im my pocket and walk round to laddy's safe in teh knowledge that im being sensible.
