Transfer Rumours Charlie Austin Stuff

8 chances in 21 which is roughly 2 in 5 is it not? 2/1 = 1 chance in 3.

 

I think may be it is 13 over 21. Which gives 3 out of 5 chance that he'll go to Chelsea

 

Where's Hammersmith Jnr when you need him? Our resident Bookie will sort these odds out.........

 

Only if it was 8/13 or 13/8 on. 13/8 are longer odds than 1/1 which is 1 chance in 2 (or 2 in 4). Therefore 2 out of 5?

 

Now I'm thinking you were right all along!

We know it's better than 2/1

2/1 is 1 in 3

Your suggestion is 1 in 2.5 which sounds right.

 

13/8, flip it around so get 8 divided by 13 = .615 * 100 = 61.5% chance he will go to Chelsea

13/8 is shorter odds than 2/1 therefore more likely to happen

 

If I have a pound coin and buy three apples at 20p each, do I have enough for the 50p fare home?

Anyone?

 

That's close enough - based on odds of 13/8 against there's a 38.1% chance of him going to Chelsea.

 

Percentages, I understand. How did you arrive at that Strolls?

 

It's just 8 divided by 21 expressed as a percentage - there are 8 chances of winning and 13 chances of losing in every twenty 21.

 

Yes

 

Ok, so 8 divided by 21 = 0.38, and that's the percentage. Thanks

 

You give the conductor 40p and an apple and hope he accepts it...?

 

Mine is odds on and im not a gambler obviously

 

Austin is no where near the player Remy is yet and I can't see him playing at the plastics

Remy needs to play for the Gunners then Arsenal will win it

 

Maybe we can do a straight swap?

 

I'm not so sure on either point. I don't think it suits Remy to play 40 games a season. His body just can't do it so playing a bit part suits him and he can live the millionaire life with minimal effort. Austin is a Trojan who will play through pain but not suited to playing a bit part IMO.

They could sign Messi and Ronaldo and not win it while Wenger is there.

 

You have enough for 80% of the journey home. The 20% shortfall walk will do you good!

 

Haggle! Get the grocer down to 50p for the three and then you're laughing.
Alternately, don't be such a greedy git and buy two apples and then you will have 10p to put in the Romanian beggar's cup on your way to the bus stop
