Only doing what I have to do,a bet is a bet.
You have to pay there is no option.
I remember about 1990 Sky had just come out and they were showing West Indies V England and West India were massive favourites,a guy i worked with said England have no chance in winning 1 of the 5 tests.
I just took odds into consideration and said what will you give me-he said 50/1
Ok I will have a tenner on it.
Guess what we won the first test,guess what he could no remember agreeing to the bet in the pub

As stupid as the bet was,if that was me i would have paid it even if it was a tenner a week.
some things as a bloke you cannot do and that's welsh on a bet!
