Ticket to Ryder

Not sure how many of you are aware of the scam bet in the ryder cup (Thats Golf for you sport dodgers) but myself and Lisa were both on. The basic concept is that on the last day of the tournament there are 12 singles matches. 12 Yanks play 12 Europeans over 18 holes. You just hope that there are 5 matches still on the course when one team (I don't give a fuck who) gains enough points to win the event.
Well last night it went almost perfectly. Monty sunk the putt on the 18th which took Europe to an unasailable 14.5 points. With 5 matches still incomplete and the tournament effectively over you just hope that the remaining 5 pairs on course say " why the fuck do we want to keep playing" and just shake hands, thereby calling there individual singles match the tie. Me and Lisa staked £12 each hoping this was going to happen.
Now if it was me playing one of those last few games I'd be like "Fuck this for a game of soldiers I'm off to party or cry"(depending on whether you're yank or European). But oh know, those fuckers have pride , right. To cut a long story short, they proceeded to finish their games. Cunts! Meanwhile, me and Lisa can see our £40000 each disappearing before our very eyes.
Now , I hear what your saying, you can't miss what you've never had. BOLLOX. If you knew that those wankers only had to shake hands and walk off and you and your gal would be kicking it in the carribean in a months time from a pitiful stake of £12 you'd be a bit gutted too.
A small consolation was seeing those dirty bookies scurrying for cover when they knew that their liabilities ran into millions. Unfortunately, once again those damn bookies had the last laugh. But don't look quite so smug The magic Sign and Co, coz one day I will beat you and when I do I'll laugh in your face Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
