I used to be a betting man until I got royally fucked over by the bookies. Well, I say fucked over. I mean, I made some horrendous decisions and paid the price (literally) for them. 

But what was my issue? Well, that’s simple. I wasn’t betting on the colour of this Aussie’s tie.

Betting giants Sportsbet made the gargantuan mistake of taking bets on the colour of Australian political journalist Laurie Oakes’ tie during an election broadcast, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Yes he should Chamath. Yes he should.
