Erm, it transpires that I know nothing about odds (actually, it doesn't transpire at all, I've been saying it all week) can we amend ours or are we stuck with that shizzle?

You can have an hour to revise them, as NK haven't turned up yet. Your maths is almost right though - you've included the stake in the winnings for the Yeaman bet is all.

Must do some work. Back in a bit.

Newcastle have placed their bets via pm.

And now amended them. Tom and Sean, I'm accepting the lower stakes, I hope that is okay.

Your stake is returned in the winnings?

Don't whine on here, you've got work to do.

Well he hasn't included it in the Man City bet, in that case.

The Aussies have a different system of stating odds, it turns out. It's actually simpler and easier to understand. I'll leave you all to decide whether inventing it reflects higher intelligence, or that it they find it necessary, indicates the opposite.

TBH MR whenever I put a bet on the winnings always include a refund of the stake (£10 at 10/1 brings back £110).
That is how it is done over here.

Second bet remains the same, first bet changed to. sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb ... astle.html Man City -2 goals @ 15/8 Estimated Returns : 57.50

Do you expect me to know what I'm doing?

Don't be ridiculous.

So are the Poll Dorset Fiddlers bets a secret?

Hi Sean18, not seen you around.

It isn't winnings really though. £10 at 10/1 pays £100. You get £110 back, because the bookie is holding your tenner. But basically we all agree.



Nobody ever slags the RFL for making simple things complicated on here, ever again!

That was why I included the word 'Refund'

In Australia, the British referee was seen to say. After observing the Australians tactics.





Looks a bit like help that. Who'd have thought it eh? The Aussies influencing the referee in a test series.

Not now that yours are in.

So in summary:

HU:
20 on Manchester City to beat Newcastle United by more than 2 goals at 15/8.
40 on Kirk Yeaman to score the first try in England vs Australia at 14/1.

NK:
30 on Australia to beat England by 15 or more points. Pays 2.10 on the $. which is 11/10 in old money, I assume. They win 33 + get their 30 stake back, if they win.
30 on Brisbane Roar to beat Newcastle Jets in their A-League fixture. Pays 1.87 on the $. Wins 26.1 on 30 stake.

MR:
22 on Australia to win by more than 12 at 10/11.
18 on Manchester Utd to beat Swansea at 4/9.

There went lunch!

I can make more sense of the flaming Rosetta stone than this.

Betting is rubbish. In fact, I'd rather discuss social policy with Standee than get into betting.

Betting is paying voluntary taxes IMO.

Hey Sandy, whats been happening?

We've spent the week talking about anything but the task until I realised we had to submit it today, hence why ours is awful as I have no idea about betting.

I don't even understand how odds work, it's like I have learning difficulties.

Hope you're enjoying the weather, throw another snag on the barbie for me.

Hmm. An interesting development. Particularly when taken with this.



Tom155 is not in the Australian team, roopy and Sean18 have both been available to place their bets.

I believe Mr. Mild Rover that the phrase you are searching for is "Nu, and void".

As ever, happy to oblige and glad to be of assistance.

SKS

tom subed in for aqua duck before the end of week 1

And you have evidence of this?

i'll look if i have to

I'd suggest you get searching because I could see no mention of it on the first nineteen pages.

Yep, definitely not there. You asked if it was possible to make substitutions but you never put the number board up and made the substitution.

You haven't submitted any bets.

Even Bentham's faster on the Video Referee decisions than this.
