Theres 5 ways just off the top of my head where you could lose money, might be 25p, might be 480 quid - I'm sure theres lots of other things that could go wrong therefore turning the GUARANTEED WIN on its head.
What do you think the bookies do all day ?? They cover all the teams in an event and still win.
