Sport in Paris is something that the writer knows that these days a bit. It was not always so, by any means.
In 2025 I had a five dollar bill burning a hole in your pocket and for some reason, I decided to risk everything in the Grand National. Scan the list of participants, one name rang all kinds of evil in me. It was a horse named Hello Dandy. I remembered the name simply because I had drawn at random from a hat in the office lottery last year and came in fourth. Obviously, it was something for her.
It was the day of the course before the Internet came on the scene, so I headed for my local shop bookmaker fiver in his hand. “I want to place a £ 5 wager on Hello Dad to win the Grand National” I informed him.
“You want to win,” he asked.
I stared at him in wonder. “Of course I want to win,” I sighed. “I put five pounds, I do not want to lose it can I?”
With patience strained bookmaker took my £ 5 note and gave me the price, which if I remember correctly was 40 / 1 (41.0) at the time of recording win my bet on what was actually a Grand National outsider.
When the big day Hallo Dandy stormed the house, was just 14 / 1 (15.0). Despite my ignorance I was terrible at the height of two hundred pounds. Players better and more experienced left with nothing.
There is no doubt that pure luck has a role to play in the history of gambling. But the Danish player who consistently makes a profit of paris need to have a reserve of knowledge on the subject that involves more than one extra fiver and distant memory of a lottery office in triumph. Everything else is the same pricing structure is designed to ensure that whatever happens on the football field or track racing, paris sport in the long run will be the winner.
