Chronicle of a guess foretold: Skinny gruel – politicalbetting.com

INTRODUCTION

A few of it’s possible you’ll keep in mind the “Chronicle of a Bet Foretold” PB sequence in 2019. It was meant to be a cumulative sequence however real-life intruded and it fizzled out. It covers my real-life betting and seeing as I’ve now positioned bets on UKGE2024 you’ll forgive me if I resurrect it for the most recent instalment. It’s not, sadly, a contented story.

BETTING SHOPS

Most individuals on PB guess on-line. They arrange accounts and choose from all kinds of bets. It’s very handy and arguably this association types PB’s spine. However I, being an ungainly bastitch who refuses to guess on-line, refuses to do that. I choose to rock as much as the real-life high-street store, have a quick chat with the individuals behind the desk, then place my money on the counter like a grown-up grownup in a free nation and buy the danger in hope of reward.

Or at the least that’s the idea

SUNDAY 30 JUNE 2024

A city near the place I reside has two retailers: let’s name them Store One and Store Two as a result of these aren’t their names. I get the taxi into city, go to the cashpoint and withdraw round £250 to guess with. I’ve deliberate my bets out beforehand, printed the screenshots and might level to the precise place. What might probably go flawed?

SHOP TWO

Store One is quickly closed as a result of a nutter ready outdoors, so I’m going to Store Two. However they don’t have the bets. I level to my screenshots – “See! See!” – however to no avail: they’re simply not there. We handle to dredge up “Number of Green Seats” and “Bristol Central” and I guess £70 on two or extra at 4/11 and £70 on Greens for Bristol Central, however not one of the others I need can be found. So, I say “thank you very much”, tip my hat to them and stride out and head again to Store One

SHOP ONE

Right here the wheels actually come off. I clarify what I would like, however he can’t discover it. I present my printouts: no assist. I fill out the slips and he telephones the helpline: no pleasure. Those I need – Conservatives second place, LD over [redacted] seats, Waveney Valley for the Greens – simply aren’t out there within the store. They’re solely on-line.

There’s a level in any undertaking when folks resolve to surrender, and my job is to get Desk Bloke previous this. The Navy Seals have a phrase for this: the 40% rule. It’s the concept that while you assume you might be performed you continue to have 60% much less. However I take a look at him, and…there’s nothing. I ask him to attempt once more, and he does, however the perfect he can get from the telephone is total majorities for Lab/Lib/Con. It’s not what I need. I stroll out of the store unbetted, my head down…

FLASHBACK: 2016/7

…I’m in a Ladbrokes putting a guess on Trump towards Clinton. The store is brightly lit, the desk is cheerful: there’s a pleasant rivalry between Pink Ladbrokes and Blue Coral: Laddies wish to make betting nice once more. They’ve crimson hats on…

…I’m in a Betfred betting on Macron and towards Marine LePen: the supervisor is a fan of hers and now we have a fast chat…

…I’m in a Ladbrokes selecting up my winnings from Brexit. They’ve to shut the store and ship me to a different one down the street, as they will’t cowl the returns…

It was once enjoyable.
