I won't believe it until the first digger rolls in. Seriously... remember the delay to the Withdean decision caused by possible judicial reviews? It'll be worse, I bet you.
Just stuck half the contents of my Bluesq account on it (which in truth only amounted to a four quid stake) so this had better be good.
I've been in need of a decent punt since I blew a rather large amount on a fairly silly bet at the start of the cricket season. It was Surrey to win both the...
