I've just sent Bozza six (6) votes, so I presume we are comfortably over.

Yep. See Ford pardonning Nixon over Watergate.

Today, dunno. Before he goes - himself, his family, any friends he thinks he still has.

Do that, and combine it with a real world 300 mile range, and it becomes a no brainer for me. I’d be delighted to dump the only diesel car I’ve ever owned - thanks, Gordon Brown for telling me it was the most environmentally friendly option when I bought it.

Thanks. Got it. Now I understand, I’m out. Far too complicated for this bear of little brain.

Ah. I wondered that. That’s not what the rules say, but would make more sense than City to win at 230/1! I’m out then. EDIT: actually, you can read the rules in the way that you say. I just didn’t read them that way. Somewhat ambiguous.

Yeah, I wondered that - but each bet is individual... Sod it, it’s only a couple of quid...

Betfair exchange. I wondered if you’d be betting on the whole market, but it doesn’t appear like it. Each bet is separately listed. I haven’t made either bet because I can’t believe my interpretation is correct. City to win at 230/1, Spurs being 25 points off top at 40/1? Can’t be right.

I’ll also end up with more money if I give up my ST, eat only potatoes, stop heating my house, and sell all my possessions. I choose not to do these things in the pursuit of a larger bank balance because they give me pleasure - more pleasure than I’d derive from having more money in the bank...

The cellar’s been self-financing for 30 years now. I started out looking for odds on Albion finishing top 10, and didn’t like them, so went browsing... a gentle bit of entertainment, s’all.

I was looking through random betting markets for the PL and found something that I don’t quite believe... Handicap Win 20/21 Spurs +25 40/1. The market rules say ‘who will win the league with the stated points handicap applied?’ Surely, they can’t mean they’re offering 40/1 against Spurs...

spongy - you have my number. Please call if you'd like to. Happy to check in on a regular basis too, if that would be helpful. I don't want to impose in any way, but know that I am here, ready to help in any way I can.

Wine? Pfft - barely touch the stuff.

Ben White’s Brighton 1 - 0 Leeds Not All That

Were loose

@30 secs appears to be under the sea off the coast of (W) Sussex. Hope that helps. Nice vid though.

I’ve just spent 45 seconds wondering how the hell you managed to start a thread dated tomorrow. :facepalm:

Often seen on the pier after his milk round, accompanied by his St Bernard.

It’s about my motivation. Yes, if we win, we stay up, obviously. But staying up is not why I want us to win. I want us to win for the short term pleasure of seeing my team beat the opposition. Staying up is a consequence, not the goal I seek.

I’m not sure I accept your premise. I get entertained watching us play attractive football. I get a lot more entertained by us winning (though this may be a false memory, lost in the the mists of time). Also, my entertainment derived from watching us win has almost nothing to do with a desire...
