Re: Your most unbelievable true story

I had a go on the scoop 6 one week. Basically, pick the 6 winners of 6 races on a Saturday. It had rolled over for weeks so the jackpot was about £3m. My mum asked me to put a bet on for her and she text me her picks.
Next day I am checking the results, needless to say both tickets were losers.
The betting receipt just showed the number of the horse so to find the name of the horse to check the result I had to cross-reference against the racecard in the paper. She had marked each pick and in 2 of the races I noticed she had sent me a different number to the horse she had picked. I asked why and she said she had just changed her mind and picked different horses.
I never had the heart to tell her that changing her mind on those 2 horses cost her around £1m.
