Crucible

With a 7 leg, any 2 multi, you get all the combinations of 2 horses. Using permutations and combinations the number of bets you'd have is 7 C 2 = 7! /5!*2! = 21. So you've got 21 doubles going. If 5 of the 7 win, you'd collect on 10 of those 21 doubles (the two horses that didn't win would have been in 11 of those doubles). Prop - the bet you described is if you took all 7, any 6, any 5, any 4, any 3 and any 2 (rather than just any 2).

Just an observation. Look at the number of threads started over the past two weeks and the number of replies. Without Prop, its even worse - its like a ghost town, complete with tumbleweed. But hey, so long as the "traffic" is good.

Then why the vindictive comments about his missus at the opera, and Venice or Vienna? That's not telling him he's a spanker because he supported the stopper.

Not a prediction, simply an observation.

Hey Sheriff - I'd be careful about abusing Prop and scaring him away. He's one of the few people propping (poor pun) up this site. Take him away and there's not a lot left. Just your posts, which are generally interesting (when you haven't had a bad day like today), and the sycophantic echoes from Scooby doo.

O'Reilly's Prize!!

Are you saying quinella? Or are you saying back them both to collect the same amount? 38 units on Wall Street and 18 units on KTP. At the odds you quote both bets would return 68.4 units. An effective dividend of $1.22 for either to win. In which case you're saying there's a better than 82% chance that one of the two will win. Probably a fair assessment. Good luck. I'll just stick with Saint Pat if he lines up in the first at Otaki.

No AGMs - they're more ceremonial, and a waste of time if you're interested in performance. Profit announcements and Investor briefings are where you'll get better information. Although you don't need to attend either to figure out what has driven most of the downward spiral in the share price.

Don't we wish! Either they're feeding their staff some real good propoganda or the decimal place has been misplaced. Maybe move it one (or two, after capital cost) places to the left. Hereford St is still in the same place, but Telecom HQ is not.

Not anymore - moved last year. That bottomless pit you work for not keep you across developments from the mothership?

Not according to Wilt Chamberlain!

I think you'll get better than $8 on the tote!

Is it just me, or is this comment frack to bunt and farce about ace? In the first sentence its a foregone conclusion that she'll win, but in the second you're not so sure? And 53kgs (or 53.5kgs) is not enough - you'd be more confident if she had say 55kgs? What exactly did you mean Centrofold?
