It’s an old saying “Dad is always right”

After a disastrous few days, betting wise I decided to ask the book of knowledge when it comes to football my 84-year-old dad for yesterday’s World Cup bet.
 
I did not give him much time to settle down before I was telling him my awful run of bad luck with my latest round of bets, which he found quite amusing. Therefore, I decided to put his vast knowledge on all things football to the test asking him straight out who would win Argentina or Switzerland.
 
He was quite defensive saying it would be a draw after 90minutes but Argentina would win in extra-time, as Switzerland couldn’t score. I push the point further telling him to pick a winner within the 90minutes as I believed there were goals in the game, he said, “Argentina’ but I still think it will be a draw”.
 
Ok dad next up Belgium or USA to win in 90minutes again, he was mumbling away well I think it will be a draw. I put my foot down and demanded a decision who would win putting him right on the spot, “Belgium” he replied. He didn’t look overly confident with is prediction. Did I push him to hard, maybe I did just too hard.
 
I put my bet on Argentina and Belgium to win which would give me a measly £5 win on a £2 bet but a win is a win with my luck lately. Dad was adamant on two draws and I did ask him for his advice so I should surely listen to it. Well to be on the safe side I throw another two quid on both games to be level after 90minites it was the right thing to do.
 
Cha-Ching we have a winning bet and not the one I was expecting the draw bet came through dad was right and maybe he should make all my bets from now on. Oh yes I won £27.53 better than a fiver.
