A Four-Legged Lottery

Archie 1 – Nikolic 0

It’s hard not to feel sorry for Danny Nikolic.

Being a mug judge of footy must be a very difficult thing, even for the most deluded of men.

Matchsticks are the currency, because the poor bastard doesn’t have a cent.

I write it up on the board as cash, to give him a glimmer of hope.

The truth is that I’m not real interested in wager made in wooden things that sell 200 hundred to the 30 cents, and Zippo’s are my preferred means of igniting a Winnie Blue. But I play the game with Daniel in the hope that he might one day might pick a math right, and have the brief opportunity of being able to feel good about himself for an hour or two unless the next game begins.

Sadly, so far I have been wrong. Dan’s not been able to pick his nose, let alone a result.

The Bombers to beat West Coast at home.

There is a word to describe the place where punters who take tomato sauce about that outcome belong.

It’s called ASYLUM.

Nikolic’s get out bet is NSW to beat QLD in Origin 2.

I’ve bet boosted him to evens on the matchsticks out of sympathy.

He thinks it’s heaven.

They didn’t have a spare bed this week at the place starting with A.

The coach put his best player Damian Cook on the bench got in first.

Wish Danny and Patient 01 luck.

He and Brad are gunna need it.
