Dr. BDO's Problem Page : Gambling

Dear Dr. BDO,

I just lost 325 quid on betting that the next Doctor in Doctor Who would be Alan Davies. Have you got any insider tips that I can bet on to claim the money back.

Oh dear. First of all I'd recommend not betting on such things, or perhaps seek help. In fact not sure what else you could bet on, would the bookies take bets on the Hugos or the BSFA Awards? Probably not. You could bet on the Oscars perhaps. But you're probably best just saving your money and paying your mortgage off. Or investing it in a Space Elevator.
