I'm not a betting man...

I'm not a betting man. I'd only throw my money away and get little return. But I want to know something.

What were the odds, before the World Cup, for Messi, Rooney, Torres and Kaka not to score at all?

I'm sure if you'd put your house on it...you'd be able to afford quite a lot more houses.

Somebody do the maths.

I'll go with...1000/1

That would be 1000 more houses.

Fuck's sake. If only I'd have done a Mystic Meg, I could have bought Longsight.

Never 1000s be like. 250/1 300/1 at the max. There saying in 250 attempts it will happen once when you think of it like that helps to put it into perspective.

I'll guess at odds of anywhere between 10/1 and 20/1 for each individual not to score. I'll say 13/1 for the purpose of this argument. That's odds of 14 in decimal terms. 14^4 = 38416. So fractional odds od 38415/1. That seems abit high to me so I'll assume the odds werent anywhere near that as the winning seem abit high. So say if the odds were relativley low of 4/1 which is a conservative estimate, thats decimal odds of 5. 5^4 = 625 so odds of 624/1 which sems about right.

1000/1 would be aveage odds of 5.62 in decimal odds. which is 4.62/1. I'd say it's somewhere in this region

edit: went wrong when converting decimals to fractions.

You're not a betting man ? Or you can't bet ? ;)

And it would have been pretty high, but it would have been an odd bet to put on

Your closer the mark,but even 250/1 i reckon was way to big, the bookies give fuck all away,been betting with betfair for 3-4 years now and they are the generous ones,would estimate that bet at 50/1 at best!

Paddy Power have priced Man Utd at 3/1 to win the champions league. For those of you not familiar with betting, that means if you bet £100, you will lose £100!!!
