“It’s my birthday. I have had terrible toothache for a few days. It’s been exactly a year since I gave up drinking too much! I got home today and saw I had five from five. I sat down to watch the racing and sweated through to the last. Bob’s Your Uncle moved up, but then started going backwards. Then load shedding kicked in. I scrambled around for the result. I couldn’t believe Craig Zackey got my horse home. My toothache has disappeared. My 57th birthday feels like my 21st. I feel like celebrating with a double whisky! Thank you Hollywoodbets. I am numb,” enthused the man who is involved in training students in the Northern KZN town.
He has enjoyed the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge since it started and confirmed that he was a 12-year-old who learnt horseracing from his family before he knew anything about life.
“I study form and enjoy the exotics, but the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge is great fun and it costs nothing. Unfortunately, I had no money in my account to use the Bet Slip card to spend the fifty bucks and double my win. But God is good. I am so grateful!” he added.
The Bet Slip which is generated on entry to the competition gives the player an option to spend a minimum of R50 to double his potential prize.
“I believe what will be will be. My toothache prevented me from popping into Hollywoodbets after work on Wednesday. Otherwise, I would have had some cash in my account. It’s God’s will.”
Ash66 said that the win could not have come at a better time.
“Ever since I got divorced, I have been under pressure. I want to sort my bond out and my finances in general. It feels like a weight off my shoulders today – on my birthday!” he laughed again as he recalled how he almost flippantly selected Bob’s Your Uncle in the last.
