Do Not Get Influence

Just because your friend is convinced that the only way to beat the bookies is backing your selections in a 'Dundee Shuffle' doesn't mean you should follow them.

Unless you know exactly what a Dundee Shuffle is (it's a type of bet, honest), then don't even attempt to invest in one. You'll only end up disappointed. The bookies have created these more complicated multiple bets for a reason -  to take your hard-earned cash off you.

It is worth remembering the old Chinese proverb 'every journey starts with a single step', when you place your first bet. Try a single bet. A small profit is better than any sized loss.
