Hello, let's twist again, like we did last week and the 30 odd weeks before that.

This is the Not the Top 20 podcast, Betting Show.

It's the sound of the start of your weekend, and it's sponsored by Betfair.

And because we will be talking about betting and making betting picks ahead of the weekend.

This is very strictly for over 18s only and we ask that everyone listening, be gamble aware.

Betting comes with significant risks and it's important that you understand what they are.

Head to be gamblerware.org for more information.

I'm Ali Maxwell. I'm sitting next to my friend and colleague, George Ellick.

Hi.

Hello.

How are you?

I've got a bad back.

I'm fine apart from that.

Would you rather have a sort of cold or flu-like illness

for the ninth time in two months or a bad back?

Ideally, neither. Not an an option i would say like the um i'd rather be ill because i think within illness you know you're coming out at the other end

at the moment i've no idea what's wrong my back and that's not a very nice position to be in

there'd be some bits of content there'd'd be some podcast, there'd be some content creators

for whom that sort of intro would be an elaborate setup to say something like, because

he's been carrying the betting show for the last month, he's got a bad back.

Yeah.

And that's true to an extent, but we had quite a weird week last week, George, where we both managed to make some profit, three points in my case, two and a half in your case, despite the fact that both of our naps lost, the good news is, right?
