You enjoy betting though. Think of it as a bet. I bet you 7,470 casino dollars that you can't get Mike to pay me the 24,900 casino dollars he owes the bookmaker as gambling losses, and you bet me 17,430 casino dollars that you can, and for this bet there's no bookie's credit arrangement, you pay your 17,430 casino dollar stake up front. That's an exact description of what the arrangement is.

Kaz wins 4,000 casino dollars on her 2,000 bet on Rachel's elimination, less her 1,000 on Rachel to win, and I pay her 3,000 casino dollars. Congratulations Kaza, it's in the post!

Mike is down 5,000 casino dollars on his bet on Rachel to win, which would have netted him 125,000 casino dollars if she'd got there. His remaining bet is on Alexandra, 20,000 casino dollars to win 90,000 casino dollars - good luck on that last one Mike, it'll recoup your two losses if she makes it.

That leaves me 2,000 casino dollars up on the week once the transfers are all made.

Damn she better win, or I need to go into hiding.

I left the odds unchanged because it was an outsider who was dropped. It's when a favourite goes that the odds are sharply affected.

Post by **spot** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 12:40 pm

That's good - the odds are published earlier though I forget what they are. Two to one the two favourites and Even money the rest, if I remember, but it's there for when we have the autopsy.

Post by **spot** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 12:55 pm

You'll all presumably stop placing bets before it becomes altogether obvious what the result will be, I take it?

Mike, you recalcitrant bugger, it looks like I need settlement of your account in the very near future, buck up a bit.

Chezzie · Post by **Chezzie** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 1:04 pm

JLS had not sung their first song when I made my bet Spot, im just going by last weeks results as their were in the bottom 2. Their singing two songs tonight too.
