It wasn't in the first post.....
It could have been an accumulator I suppose, but the wording DOES make it sound like one single bet, and the only place I can think of a 125/1 coming in, has to be the horses - maybe the dogs, but I doubt it....
Hmmmmmmm.
So there wasn't a 125/1 shot that came in, so either :
1. It wasn't a race in the UK - but was still covered by Ladbrookes.
2. It was a horse that came in on an Each Way bet, therefore more than 4 people are trusting enough to collect there [almost] four grand in winnings.
3. Once again it's all make believe.
To be fair it was meant as a flippant throw away comment regarding the maths and the fact that the money hasn't appeared for the alleged takeover.
But, since we are turning it into a psychological observation, the question still exists; 'would you trust someone to collect your £1250 [+ £10 stake], from the bookies for you'????
LOL.
You put £10 on a 125-1 [assuming on the nose], and walked away with four grand
Now I'm not Rupert's biggest fan, but with comical numbers like these, I'm not surprised he's told Fulthorpe and co to bugger off!
Don't discount the old S.M.A.R.T hard drive will turn itself off if it is on it's way out - had the same problem before and it registered excessive heat, but swapping the hard drive and everything returned to normal...
Curious things PCs.
Thanks all for your help and suggestions.
6 tickets on the Euromilions - the Mrs won a tenner on last weeks lottery so reinvested it...
We won £23.20
So far in September that's £43.20 won on the lottery, with expenses circa £17.
Not gonna be rich, but buys a couple of pints
That is a shame, especially if the new owners decide there is no need for a new stadium
Also, I drove past the site of your new training ground last week - on the way to my old man's - and notice that you haven't even started any work. The plans have been OK'd haven't they? I would have thought you would be eager to get going as soon as possible, maybe Gaydamak has put that on hold too as he is selling up....
To be fair, if you add the 'initial' £20m to the £65m worth of debts - which presumably will also need clearing since your 90% wage bill creates a further £25m of debt per year - then you have a total cost of circa £85m.
I think that is a more realistic evaluation.
So, about this shiny new stadium.....
