History
Betting Highlight
Every winner is always a highlight but for some reason I always remember successfully backing Croatia to beat Argentina at the 2018 World Cup. They were 3/1 underdogs on the day and went on to win easily 3-0. They would all the way to the final in that tournament and Argentina were so over-reliant on Messi and had just scraped a draw against Iceland days earlier. I never like backing against Messi, but this was vindication!
Betting Heartbreak
Too many to fell unfortunately but thankfully they don\'t stick with me for too long, anymore! However I do always remember backing Michael Bostwick to score at anytime for Lincoln against arch-rivals Grimsby at big odds. I was behind the goal when the ball landed perfectly for him inside the box but the keeper saved it and the rebound was cleared before he could tap it in.
