Problem Chimp: Insurance betting and Don Goodman

Words by: Michael Normanton

Our Problem Chimp, who looks a lot like Michael Normanton, doing a really quite disturbing pose pumping his fist and appearing to grunt

In his own humble opinion, Michael Normanton is a jack of all trades, and a master of them all too. From medical science to football coaching, via roof repairs, acting, and the music of Half Man Half Biscuit โ€” he (thinks he) knows it all. Thatโ€™s why heโ€™s our very own agony aunt, our Problem Chimp, answering questions put to him by TSB+ members and imparting his unique brand of wisdom on the world.

How do I stop my addiction of betting on โ€˜Leeds to make the play-offsโ€™? It feels like a license to print money. Weโ€™re currently 10/1.
– Bryan Watson
