I love a bet. 

This time last year I had 12 people putting bets on for me as I couldn’t get a bet on in my own name. In the end it became too stressful, I started losing me Barnet, lost half of what I won and quit well in front. 

I then used my winnings to start funding a car sales business. Chip pan and fire eh?

My dad also used to bet but he’s pretty fucking bad at it so luckily I never took after him. 

It’s quite similar to auctions. You need to know when the prices are wrong and act on it.

I’d also say thoroughbreds are easier to predict than cars as well!

Interesting subject. I would imagine you could actually calculate the odds of being able to purchase a car from auction with no 'issues' that then sells immediately. The dilemma would be would you buy the car with long odds or short?
