There'll be £2 million in the pot this afternoon.
The Tote is a terribly run outfit but this bet is really well-designed and when the pot swells like it has done everybody who likes winning something for very little should have a dabble. For everyone out there who does the lottery - I should tell you that a couple of quid on this today offers significantly better odds, at least 13,000,000 to 1 better.
(Here's how bad a bet the lottery is - if you spent £1000 each week buying lottery tickets you would, on average, match all 6 numbers once every 270 years. Or, to put it another way, at my age, to have a better chance of winning the lottery than actually still being alive when the draw is made I'd have to buy my ticket at around 7:40pm on Saturday.)
Of course, the big rollers will be out in force today - Harry Findlay alone will be responsible for about £1million of the fund - so if you are playing make sure you put at least one outsider in your perm, otherwise you'll have to share your winnings with the fat cockney chancer.
And don't get too carried away - back in the golden betting days Slim and I threw £2k plus at one roll-over - but Iain/Daryl it has to be worth your normal single win bet today. Personally, I'll be carving out a beautifully-balanced, and all encompassing perm totalling £2 and shall be very surprised if I'm not a millionaire this time tomorrow. Rodney.
