FAMOUS FIVE

HERE are five of my unluckiest bets (in a long litany of losing wagers)

1

The greyhound I backed still won despite his trap opening LATE — but the bet was voided

2

Jockey inexplicably fell off my horse in the run-in, 10 lengths clear. Made the national news

3

Horse refused to start but came under orders (happened multiple times)

4

Tennis player I backed winning 6-1, 5-0 when opponent quit — bet void

5

Placed a fortune on Lennox Lewis to beat Evander Holyfield — robbed by the draw
