It was the best of punters, the worst of punters

What are the chances of both the world's greatest punter and the world's worst punter appearing daily in the same place? Unlikely in the extreme, but it could well to be happening at Sportstraders. There was a flurry of excitement on the last at Catterick yesterday after the world's greatest tipped a 100/1 winner.

The world's worst punter, who wishes to remain anonymous(Martin Harley) then became very animated, having followed the greatest in at odds of 260. Sadly, only 25% of the return was trousered, as he bailed out for a guaranteed profit with the lollipop in sight and the fav pressing hard.
Never mind, it was nice to see the poor bugger's expression of child-like joy, rather than the customary wailing and groaning as yet another appalling wager goes down.

The Great One(who does not wish to remain anonymous) smiled serenely at this heart-warming spectacle, even his flinty heart being warmed slightly, up from its ususal temperature of -273.15.
Bringing some sunshine to world's worst, who has done his tonsils recently and was in need of a fillip, was almost as pleasurable as his own profitable wagering.
