    I'm not a betting man, but...

    I felt there was a real buzz before we played the Cherries - I put a fiver on City to win @ 11/5;

    I've got a twenty on us staying up @ 11/4 (the last time I looked we were now at 10/11);

    We were at 50/1 to finish in the top 10, so I put £10 on that, but SkyBet had us @ 100/1 yesterday.

    (I still don't know what I'm doing re bets <doh> )

    Used to bet on City but never again. I'm the kiss of death.

    Last time I thought about it was when we beat Charlton 6-0 and Abel scored a hatrick. I predicted the correct score and Abels hatrick. Could have had 1000/1 in the KCOM bookies. Bottled it.

    In 1974 I got a chart out of golf monthly to predict the top 10 in the open, I wrote down Gary Player to win, Peter Oosterhuis 2nd and Jack Nicklaus 3rd.

    That's exactly how it finished, never thought to look if I had put money on that outcome what I would have won.

    I've got a strict policy on it, no betting on us in a positive way, it's doubly annoying if we don't win. 2008 Playoff Final is the last time I had a bet on one of our games. Had a bet on Bristol City to go up on the day because that meant there were 2 outcomes for me:

    1) We got promoted and I didn't care that the bet lost and the weekend had cost more
    2) They got promoted but the bet won so at least the weekend was paid for
