Thanks for the tip off.

To those who enjoy this shop: ern seems to have decided that actually he does want to run the betting shop after all. So he wants it back.

I'm quite happy to give it back to him if people think he won't flounce again.

Alternatively, some suggest oddjob would make a good bookie.

*beats the shit out of the glass*

total me short term flims

where's the next bookie

and the other bets are archived

 

[flimsier]

Oh no, I'm intent on staying if people want me. I'll leave if people don't. I've said I'll do this until the bookie's total reaches £250,000. Its calmed down, so that could be forever!

Are the other bets archived?

OJ - would you like to do it?

 

[flimsier]

Danno - your money is in!

£300 to spend. I suspended your account. If your bet was a winning one, as a gesture of my fair mind, I'll honour the returns. If not, you can keep the stake in your account!

 

[flimsier]

Marty21!!!

Your cash is in!

Welcome back sir!

£250 for now...

£250 taken at 12/1. You sure you don't want to go each way, given the Yanks will spank your arse in the final series?!?!?



(oh, thank you sir!)

 

[Iam]

Oh, you reckon, huh?

We're only 4 games behind you, in a much harder division and we've had pretty hefty injuries since day one, too.

We'll see. It'll have to be in the big one if they meet...

(cheers )

 

[flimsier]

Of course, being the favourites, where are the second favourites?

Oh, they are in our division as well.



YOu do realise that the odds may have changed by the time you want to add to your bet... [/patronising]

 

[Iam]

Yeah, well... 12s is good enough for me for now, 8-1 3rd faves like you were talking about on the actual thread must surely have been start of season price? Hard to be 3rd faves when you're not actually in a div lead, I'd have thought.

(note to self: arguing with bookie about odds is silly )

 

[flimsier]

No, 8/1 is Ladbrokes price. I gave you the best price as a good bookie would!

See!!

 

[flimsier]

And you're 3rd faves for all the reasons you go on about on the baseball thread (I was going to write 'on and on and on' and then realised I'd be being a big hypocrite!)

 

[oddjob]

OJ - would you like to do it?

no thanks flim, don't have the time

why not just give it back to ern

 

[starfish]

I like the look of that new striker Barca signed recently, Larsson i think it is. Think i will have £100.00 on them to win the Champs League please flim & a cheeky wee £20.00 on Celtic doing the same. Cheers

 

[Pickman's model]

£5.00 on london to get the 2012 olympics, please.

 

[Pickman's model]

the toronto bluejays play in the world series, don't they? if i'm right and they do, could i have £30 on them to win the world series?

 

[Pickman's model]

i'd like to put £50.00 on caracas futbol club winning the venezuelan first division.

Save yr money

Toronto W: 36; L: 46; %: .439; GB: 16.0; Home: 20-20; Road: 16-26; AL East: 9-17; Central: 11-14; West: 8-5; NL: 8-10; Last 10: 5-5; Streak: L1.

Currently 16 games behind the Yankees, 10 games under .500. Not even sure a miracle could put them in playoff contention this season.

Aaaah, I reckoned without the magic nose-tapping of insider knowledge.

Even if you do get to the WS, you'll lose to us...

A strike would help IIRC.
