    Put a tenner on final score Forest G R 1 - Barnsley 5.

    75th minute son phones to say score is 4-1 do I want to cash out - £110 - decided not to.

    85th minute score still 4-1 so got son to cash out - £56. (if scored stayed at 4-1 I'd get zilch!)

    We know what happened in the 90th minute aaaaaargh!

    Did I lose £500 or win £56 ?
    -------------------------------------------

    p.s. prediction for Lincoln match - Barnsley to win 4-2 ....... and go on to finish in 2nd place at season's end.

    If you can't afford or are frightened to lose the stake don't bet. Not a dig mate. Let it ride.

    You won £56. And more importantly Barnsley won another match!

    You won. If you wanna cash out as a profit, do it mate. You have more money now than you did before 3pm!

    P.s what Dawson says, if you can't afford, please just don't bet in the first place - it isnt worth the slippery slope.
