I don't think you'd have got the odds you're thinking of, tbh, Ben.
You've been showing outstanding form over recent weeks, getting
sixteen and seventeen results completely wrong in consecutive
September weekends.  The bookies had noticed how close you
were coming to the Holy Grail and so, slashed the odds on you
completing a cleen sweep.  So much so that when I saw you listed
at a miserly 4/1 at Ladbrokes to get all twenty wrong, I steered
well clear.

Still, it's an incredible achievement and nothing can take this moment
away from you.  The only trouble is finding a way to top this.  I mean,
you could try to get next week's results even more wrong but if I were
you, I'd consider hanging up your keyboard and walking away from
the crap predictions game because from now on, even if you get
nineteen results out of twenty hopelessly wrong, the critics are only going
to be too keen to point out that you're not as bad as you used to be.

As a lifelong fan of your work, Ben, I'd hate to see that happen.
