A winning day brings some relief, but still down overall

“A man’s gotta make at least one bet a day, else he could be walking around lucky and never know it.”

Not sure who supplied that slice of wisdom — probably Paddy Power — but after two miserable days I’d invite him to consider the corollary — the man who kept his hand in his pocket never knew how unlucky he truly was.

Still, the gaffer seemed to have good money to throw after that bad stuff he printed off for me Tuesday and Wednesday, so it was once more unto the breach.
