Thanks for your input Anita!

Sometimes I do wonder how some people do it – my sisters fiancé, for instance. He is forever placing bets on football matches and winning money from it, and even his mother has managed to score a few winning streaks on the Irish lottery (she just wins hundreds of pounds each time) Whenever my friend drags me along to bingo, there is always somebody who wins at least five times. Makes you think!

I remember one time I had finished reading “The Magic” (the sequel to The Secret, going over more of the same crap in the first book) and that same day I was sent to the horse racing stadium for an assignment – back at university, the tutors sent us out places to make observational drawings of race horses but most of us were too busy placing bets on the horses instead. Long story short, I won a bet I had placed on a horse named “Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em” – back then, I guess I thought to myself “Holy crap this stuff really works!”

Hasn’t worked on at least 80% of the things I have wished for since, I might add…
