Listening to: The Killers - Jenny was a friend of mine
Feeling: deflated
3.00pm
I went to Goodwood yesterday, which is a horse racing place. I have been twice before, but I didn't go last year. I didn't wear my posh things because it's not really like Ascot, although there were a lot of people in posh dresses yesterday because this year Ascot has been moved so people who usually go didn't go this year (and came to Goodwood instead). I do bet a little bit, although only for fun. Thing is I don't really 'approve' of it, which sounds really hypocritical. What can I say, I am hypocritical. My great-grandad spent all the money his family had on betting and they ended up having almost none left. That's not fun gambling.
I won an Each Way bet, which means that you bet that a horse will come 1st, 2nd or 3rd (depending on how many horses are in the race you can only have 1st & 2nd or you can have more). I didn't win anything else though.
It was a good day. I had a lot of fun even if I was doing something that I don't approve of. I think as long as you don't get to addicted or worried by it, and you don't put on money that you can't afford to lose, you can't really go too far wrong.
The minimum bet is £2 and I didn't put any more than that on, mainly because I only borrowed £10 from my nan at the beginning of the day so if I didn't win anything I would only be able to bet on 5 races (there are 6).
Some friends were meant to be coming over today but no-one can come so I think I might just waste away the day on the Internet. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
Waste the day in the internet, I mean.
