One day he arrived early at the racecourse and decided to go fishing in the local lake. One of the bookies from the racecourse was walking by and told the fisherman that he wouldn't catch anything as there weren't any fish in the lake. The fisherman said "I feel that today's my lucky day. I bet I do catch a fish. Actually I feel so lucky that I'll bet you a hundred pounds that I catch a plaice." "You're on," said the bookie. Well as luck would have it the fisherman did catch a plaice and he took it triumphantly to the bookie to claim his prize. The bookie gave him twenty five pounds. "Hey, what's this with twenty five pounds. The bet was a hundred pounds." "I agree", said the bookie. "But it's only quarter odds for a place."
