Rival Watch Special: The Fraud's Run

I hope you win the lottery this week... My hope has a bigger chance of happening.

 

You sure about that? I've not played the lottery for about ten years

 

Personally I'd wager that you don't work in hedge funds mate, given that the odds of the former are 14,000,000/1 and the latter 16/1.........

 

Would you be willing to put money on Everton at 16-1...? And do you play the lottery...?

 

No and No.

 

Fair enough

I'd imagine more people would be willing to put money on the Lottery than Everton. Nothing against Everton from me there, more that one is a judgement whereas the other is almost a national past-time now that depends on pure luck

 

Is there a way for us to somehow benefit financially from all the #luckingout Rodgers has racked up the last couple of seasons?

 

We've always got the long ball to fall back on once the luck runs out

 

The lottery is a suckers tax, that gives people a few minutes of total escape every week.

Sticking dosh on Everton winning the Europa is an equally charitable donation

 

bookie odds v real odds

dear oh dear tobes.

If I buy a lottery ticket on a random set of numbers and the draw is fair ad asvertises i have said 1 in however many million chance

however just cost you are going to be in the last 16 doesn't give you a 1 in 16 chance of winning it. You've no chance of winning it mate i would say in some alternative universe where you might win it once but there are infinite alterntive universes according to that theory.

in this universe..... Gerrez has a better chance of the lottery.

 

Completely agree with both statements

 

I didn't say it did - Paddy Power did

Ask him what Gerrez odds are of scooping this weeks lotto

 

Going into the quarter finals of the CL in 2004 and then 2005, I think a lot of people would have said Porto and Liverpool respectively had no chance too.

 

so?

this is everton we are talking about not clubs with european pedigree <whistle.

won't get me like that... you know i'm not being serious at all.

 

And bent refs, don't forget the bent refs .....

 

I do know you're not being serious but I'm that bored I'm going along with it

 

paddy power is just a bookie.. those are not the real odds just as others keep explaining their means of attracting business.

14million to 1 is short odds for everton IMO.

would you stick £1 on with astro at those odds

 

How could I forget

Own goals been a bit quiet this season too. Saw he made an Appearance for Everton yesterday though

 

there you go.. between howard flapping at long balls, bent refs and LFC having a jinx on everton in the cups bascially everton have no chance.


its not like there much left in it either... inter, napoli, fiorentina, spurs, zenit, roma, ajax, wolfsburg, sevilla.... I mean if everton get through and we don't they are a shoe in right?

c'mon lads...

 

Nobody said they were a 'shoe in', I said that I hope Everton win it if we don't. That's not me saying I expect Everton to win it, I don't. Just like I don't think we will, but I'd certainly like to see us do it
