Random factor, like a tractor...

First topic message reminder :

Hello. Following its roaring success on the old 606 (winner of six Luckies*) I thought I'd provide a space on 606v2 for you to post any irrelevant little things you fancy sharing.

I'll start: I've always had trouble with the line 'Love grows where my Rosemary goes.' If they'd chosen another name like Anne or Susan there'd be no problem, but rosemary's a herb so it could be 'Love goes where my rosemary grows.'

* - an award I made up just now.

Right I'm all gay'd out. I can't think of any more.

Erm, Kumquat like a bucket.

As long as I've got me a place to sleep
Clothes on my back and some food to eat

And we ran with the gang
Doin' doo-op-dooby-doo-i
With the juke box playin'
And everybody sayin'
That music like ours couldn't die... music

Do you know that the main office for the lift manufacturer Otis is in Reading?

How do staff answer the phone?

"Hello, Otis Redding".

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue Aug 09, 2011 2:22 pm

And then there's how they answer the phone at the Siemens office in Staines...

I will attempt a translation for you GG:

Do you eat beef?

yes (Te Welsh response pronounced BSC)

Lamb?

a play on another way to say yes in Welsh is Oes, instead put Oen = lamb

Pork?

correct answer in Welsh is ambell waith, but Glas went for Hambell waith instead.

It's not very funny in English.

still a good read once you've translated it...

Cheers

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:12 am

Sorry, I can't help you. Unless it's something to one, I don't understand it. This is despite the fact I used to work in a bookies.

by OzT Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:19 am

I guess it is saying will be a draw???

by Glas a du Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:33 am

Australia. 8 divided by 13 is 0.6. 13 over 10 is 1.3. 0.6 is less than 1.3 therefore the lesser return and hence favouritism.

by OzT Wed Aug 10, 2011 11:37 am

Cheers Glas, so the odds here are on a Boks win as 0.6 is less of a return than 1.3 for Aussie to win, thus Oz is favorite.

No no no, I don;t get that. Favorites are when you win less for your stake than the long odds, so this is saying for every on eunit you'd get:

Boks win: 0.6
Oz win: 1.3

Which now tells me Boks are the favorites as you win less.

If so surely that

Did I get that right??

by Glas a du Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:21 pm

No you didn't I did. The bookies reckon the Saffers are twice as likely to win as the Aussies and thirty times more likely to win than it being a draw. See?

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:24 pm

Too much maffs here for my liking.

by OzT Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:29 pm

Lost me.

will be putting money on a wallaby's win anyway, just been nice to know how much I would have won in advance......

Smile

by Glas a du Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:39 pm

£1 = £1.30 plus £1 the return of your stake = £2.30 if they win but £0 if they lose, depending on whether you pay tax on your stake or out of your winnings. Suspect it will make more sense to go for a points range i.e. Aus by 10-15 and get better odds.
