Walking into the betting shop br his heart pounding within; br he'd studied form and was quite sure br the horse he backed would win. br br Mountains of his cash he wagered br did this hyped-up gambling man br and beads of perspiration fell br when the horse, with gusto, ran. br br Stakes were high! A richly sum br lay in the coffers there...but br as the horse began to weary br distress was hard to bear. br br A chance to win a fortune br dissolved before his eyes; br the losing horse was an 'also-ran' br That's life, for gambling guys.
