One day just outside a bookies I found an envelope with the price of a new car in it. I figured out pretty quickly that it belonged to a guy I know and despise with a passion (an either corrupt or just utterly incompetent solicitor) who had just been in the bookies with his mates on the way to the Phoenix Park where a donkey they had was running that evening.
Cut a long story short despite the fact that sight of the cnut makes me feeel a bit ill, that I knew they were going to spew the money on the nag which was never going to win, I got the money back to them.
Wish I had it nowTurning millions into thousands

I'm remembering more stuff from my attack. They said they were going to take my money and put it in a brown envelope and leave it in the middle of the road outside a Centra in Rathmines. They also took some coins in my pocket and put them in the envelope too. I can't remember how many coins as the kicks to my head must have made me forget them.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

The decline in standards has not gone unnoticed, as racing commentator Sir Peter O’Sullevan pointed out when he said: ‘Sometimes the grandstands seem over-run by tattoos and bare flesh. It’s disrespectful – not just to the Queen, but to the horses.’Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

Now - the majority of the time bets placed with the bookie are negative EV, so placing a double would increase THEIR edge, and in turn back up your point.
Seperately, and perhaps what some people confuse with Accums. A lot of people want Winning bets, and not valuable bets. They place a 10 team accum, and it loses 20 times in a row. they presume the bet is stacked in the bookies favour.
If the bet is ACTUALLY a 10/1 bet and you are getting 10/1 or better on the bet, then you arent giving the bookie an advantage, yet over a massive volume will only win 1 out of 9 of these bets. Something that the average mug doesnt consider.
Id say the first part of my reply is more relevant to your Q though

I forgot to answer yesterday's BBV theme question by the way:
If you are a hippie (boo to you for a start) who goes to a printing office looking to get something done up on recycled paper the standard line is for the printer to say "Yeah, no bother, but recycled paper is pricey like", charge you a fortune, lol at you, then print the job on the cheapest shit he can find.
WP imo.

Brent Pope, worst after dinner speaker ever. an ordeal. Kiwis just don't do humour do they. as for his Rubgy insights, he reckons it will be a travesty if NL don't win the WC. Ireland have a limited squad and Engerland can reach the final.
On the plus side he's off to Zambia to help them build houses, ok clap clap.

Louth hotel taking Google to court over autocomplete
The Ballymascanlon House Hotel in Co Louth is taking Google to court after the company's autocomplete web search wrongly suggested the hotel was going into receivership.
According to The Open Algorithm, if a user begins to type “ballymascanlon” into the Google search bar, the second search term is “ballymascanlon hotel receivership.”
As a result, numerous worried customers have rang and emailed the hotel, concerned it may close down before their bookings. Speaking to Siliconrepublic.com, Chris Brayden, general manager at Ballymascanlon House Hotel, said it has also impacted future reservations.
“We would have brides looking to book 2013 weddings and it’s very hard for them to decide to pay a deposit in confidence when they see that we’re possibly in receivership and we’re not," said Brayden.
“The company’s sound, we’ve been trading for 60 years. We couldn’t ignore it anymore,” he said.
According to Brayden, the hotel had sent Google Ireland three solicitor letters, after receiving no response through the usual online communications. The third said the hotel would take action against the search company and asked it to select a solicitor to accept a plenary summons.
After the hotel sent the summons, Google responded, saying the algorithm for the autocomplete search was made by the US Google team and that the issue should be resolved with them.
Brayden said they were taking Google to court because they were ignoring the hotel and that their autocomplete search engine still wrongly claims the hotel is in receivership.
“It’s been an ongoing situation. It’s perpetuating a rumour about the hotel being in receivership, which is untrue. A mega corporation like Google, having that as an auto prompt, gives credence to the rumour. It’s very defamatory and very dangerous for our reputation," said Brayden.
Google Ireland said it was unable to comment on ongoing legal proceedings, but argued its autocomplete feature was not manually controlled by Google, but by what the user searches for.
"Autocomplete is a feature of Google search that offers predicted searches to help you find what you’re looking for more quickly. These searches are produced by a number of objective factors, including popularity of search terms," said a Google spokesperson.
"Google does not manually select these terms - all of the millions of queries shown in autocomplete have been typed previously by other Google users."
Brayden said the hotel has recently met with Google Ireland’s legal team to discuss the matter further.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

I did use a class 4 at the event the other day and it seemed to run ok but I do think a higher class would be better in the long run."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

with the missus away, my cats are being fed one less meal a day due to me not being home at lunch.
As a result, they have taken it upon themselves to show me how to kill food by killing small birds and leaving them outside the back door.
Hopefully they won't start bringing half dead ones back for me to finish off.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

We might even have an Irishman in the draw this year. Conor Niland is playing the final round of qualifying today (he's up 4-2 with play suspended).
I remember watching him play in his junior days. Would be great to see him get through.
