The off topic thread

[Shoei]

Have a lot of Serbs on my Facebook and they are complaining about the lack of coverage about the record rain over there. I agree that it is bad and it should have some more extensive coverage, but it makes me wonder would they be so outraged if another country was experiencing something similar and nothing was shown? Would they say anything?

Nope.

4 people have died? Big ****ing whoop.

Ask them where the coverage is about most of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts

Serbs make up less than 0.5% of the Australian population why would broadcasters show anything more than a passing interest in it?

I agree. But trying to reason with Eastern Europeans is tough at the best of times

One of my close friends branded it as "breaking news". I completely disagree. Also claimed it was not shown on the 9 news when I saw it with my own two eyes.

Some other people (none I know) have gone to the lengths of lambasting Sunrise on their page.

Also Richmond lost to Melbourne today

Yet they still won't sack Hardwicke. I had already lost interest in AFL this year even before our shitness was truely evident, which has just made it worse. Can't even give a shit about the other sides playing these days.

How do they manage that haha. Just proves that a lot of players are great footballers but most are pretty thick.

How can you be making, even average wages like 50k a week and end up bankrupt?

Feel for him too as apparently he writes a column for a newspaper and his fee for writing goes to charity, he also set up a charity in Africa to do with farming and it sounds like his wife took him to the cleaners in the divorce. Poor bastard.

Works for Luton voluntarily coaching while trying to get his coaching badges.

Shit creek without a paddle. I probably have more money than David James and that is sad.

Something for NBA and Game of Thrones fans.

Hahah, that's awesome.

Boozer, lols.

Old but I had a laugh at this one too.

Always something negative to say adds a touch more value at no extra risk

Me? Not really, was just asking the question. Stupid bet. The added value of a 1.01 does not outweigh the potential slip up it could have caused. In sport nothing is certain, so betting on something at such short odds is just stupid.

Totally agree, you just dont do it.

You're kidding right?

At odds of 91-1, you want to worry about the leg that's paying 1.01?

Yes, because it adds nothing to the multi and is still a chance of slipping up. Not really sure what you're struggling to understand.

 

[Cruyff14]

I think what SM is trying to say is that there is still a risk, even though it's minimal. And Jatz is saying he put money it cos it was a small risk.

I guess but what does it add, $2? I just don't see the point. If Bayern had copped a bunch of injuries and lost the title it's just stupid.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Munich were 8 points clear.
Next to no risk.
And it gave him another 2 bets at 100-1 odds

8 points clear at Christmas. Yeah definitely no risk.

 

[Dirty Bird]

8 points clear at Christmas. Yeah definitely no risk.

It was Bayern...
And did you see Dortmund's injury list at the time?
It was NO risk.

Ok. I'm sure he'll buy himself something nice with that $2 to celebrate.

 

[Jatz]

8 points clear at Christmas. Yeah definitely no risk.

Meanwhile every other leg was at least 9 points clear at the same time

It's really not a big deal, it was just a guaranteed option for another leg.

Did you lose the bet?

 

[Jatz]

Did you lose the bet?

That multi lost.

I put big money on Atletico though so ended up winning 400. Fairly happy haha

Well it failed anyway.

Not that I am big on footy, but having one round split over three weeks is ****ing ridiculous.

You mean with the byes? It's not one round, everyone plays two matches over the three weeks.

 

[Jatz]

Yes, I made $600. I'm feeling terrible.

As you're a punting man, I'm sure you're aware of what 'hedging' means?

Yeah whatever, it's stupid anyway.

Just have one full week off, simple.

Not even the point of what I was saying so forget it.
