Beware of immitations.
A mate of mine who makes a living as a chimney sweep was travelling to Aintree yesterday when his car broke down. Some toffs in a Rolls Royce stopped and gave him a lift. They asked him to join them in a private box with free food and champagne all day.
In the first race they advised him to bet on No.1 and it duly won. This continued (race 2, horse no2 etc). After race number 5 my mate was loaded with cash and extremely pissed. He asked "What now? Do I put all this cash on number 6 in the next race?". One of the toffs replied "Oh no, before the last race we all get up a sweep". He replied "You bastards, I knew there'd be a catch in it somewhere".
