Today’s winner will be..
Firstly - cheers to Yuko-chan who is a bit of an Unazukin Otaku (nerd - to the rest of us!) and who sent me this bizarre Unazukin v Godzilla animation. God only knows who did it. Or in fact why. But whoever you are - I am just glad that you did!
I’ve had a few emails asking if I am really betting on these matches and asking how come I only ever blog after the event. These are fair points. Firstly, of course I am betting on them. Why wouldn’t I? There would be no point doing this otherwise - remember that I only started the gambling part of the project with a tenner and as i’m only betting a tenner a go - and will quit the first time we lose - i’m only going to lose a tenner. Compared to the £130 I wasted on taking Unazukins advice to go to Scotland, the £10 I will ultimately lose on the betting is small change! Secondly, I haven’t been posting in advance due to laziness really. I never thought that anyone would be interested enough to actually question what I was doing and so just post normally at the end of the day or the next morning when I have time.
But since you ask - i’m off down the bookies now (notice how natural that phrase sounds when I use it now!) to stick a tenner to win on…. France.
Update: The girl in the bookies questioned that “outright winner” that I wrote on the last betting slip and told me that actually the correct bet i needed to make is “qualify for the next round”. So here it is:
