"the presenter suggested that viewers should spend no more than £100 per month on calls to the show"
£100 a month? Is that all? How decent of them to have a ‘responsible gaming’ policy :angry: <br>What a bunch of a-holes LOL
I have a circular field exactly one acre in area. My horse is tethered on the perimeter with a rope just long enough for him to eat one half of the grass.<br>How long is the piece of rope?

<br>I made it 45.48 yards which converts to 41.5869m<br>I never did find a way to calculate it. I drew it on Autocad which I suppose is similar to using Simpson’s Rule.

I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysA great many of these legitimate scams are successful because people are generally ignorant – some proudly so- on matters pertaining to odds and gambling.
Never give a sucker an even break seems to be the dictum.
We have all kinds of programmes running in schools and colleges aimed at educating young people about the dangers of drugs and casual unprotected sex, yet as far as I know, nothing about gambling and odds. The merest suggestion of such an idea would cause consternation amongst many educationalists because they still think that gambling is shady, and any discussion of it or explaining of it, has to be avoided.
I would be quite happy to speak to young people in schools about gambling and odds, so that if they wanted to have a bet or play poker etc., at least they would know what they were up against.

Wit in 1800 there was a Bookie who would bet anyone odds or evens the toss of a coin as long as the Punter called.(The Coins were honest and si was the Bookie.)
The Bookie claimed that because the punter neaded the money and the bookie didnt it made that % fraction difference in the layers favour.
Is that possible.??????????

hi cubone
its believable – the coins are unemotional, but the punter often isn’t.
against a level-headed layer with a long term term commitment and a big enough tank….

I intend to go along to Whites the Gentlemans club in London to confirm a story that I have read about a 1890 event.
It was a cold dank evening and outside Whites the famous Gambling Club a vagrant had fallen, his fall had in fact blocked the entrance,to the club.
The Doorman did not know what to do he tried to drag him a little way further down away from the entrance with no avail.
Several members where put out by having to step over this poor sole. however a Doctor was called to administer a little advice.
Drag him inside and lay him on a table. the nearst table was a Rouette table not being used at the time.
An examination took place and a little group began to gather watching the proceedings.
After a few comments and questions the Doctor stated that the vagrant would be dead by 12.0 the time being at statement 11.36.
I have a PLum (£2,000) that he lasts longer than 12.0
The backer was non other than Harry Hastings of Hermit fame. <br>You have a bet confirmed Lord Glasgow.a well know Member racehorse owner.and ardant gambler.
The match keeper for the club was called an within a few seconds rules of engaement were confirmed.
Sustanance can be a little water, and that is all, stated the keeper of the Book, this was objected to by Glasgow.but quickly over ruled.<br>Quite a few Members had gathered and several bets ranging from scores to thousands on the out come <br>Will the Vagrant last until 12.0
An Harley Street Specialist, whose name is not recorded was placed in charge of the event by a promise of 5% of his winnings by Hastings.
By 11.55 the poor man was losing his fight but he still had a steady but very weak heart beat.
he is dead kept shouting Glasgow. the Vagrant has gone.
No said the Specialist.and an even loder NO said Harry.
At 11.58 a very large croud was evident and much pushing and shoving was taking place to see the result.
At that moment the table was pushed to one side with the poor man falling heavly onto the plush carpet.
At exactly 12.0 having been replaced back onto the green bauge of the Rolette table he was announced DEAD.
As stated at the begining of the tale I said that I intended to visit WHITES with a view of examining the Betting Book from the period. as I beleave that all bets were called a dead heat however a further footnote exists that Lord Glasgow was repremanded as to his future conduct.

protect the vulnerable – why do people play these games ? it is to try and win, or because of greed, nobody makes ’em do it, no more than someone makes people smoke, drink or eat all the pies – i’m getting sick today’s society giving it’s people so many get-outs, excuses and generally approving the total abandonment of one’s responsibilities – and i think it’s tied in to the dumbing down of education and the frightening thought we are just producing generations of dummies who cannot think for themselves – don’t bode well for survival of the fittest does it…dinosaurs and cavemen here we come again
sberry Good Morning.
I except that argumant fully, so shall we move on to the point in this case, that all the inexperienced <br>Our mothers, sisters, and in my case Grand Fathers should be protected from down right Con men.
The end of the Cave men, was or should have been the comencement of Laws, and I am certain that Our Great Wit is correct when he says that the Gambling Commision will finally get round to Scratch Cards and TV, Stoops.

‘Yep, I’ve already worked out how to maximise my chances. I’m gonna meet my maker as a suicide bomber at a trophy presentation, when some Savill-owned, Culhane-ridden beast wins a race sponsored by Hills.’
Quite pointed from Glenn
Shame – even Wit wasn’t enough to convince Cubone to stay…
We somehow let him slip away !A self-styled “heavy weight” debate thread that can’t even spell the word vulnerable correctly.
Chezza has the attention span of a retarded gerbil more than ever nowadays – and lost the will to live reading this about about 15 seconds – but he knows where to put an l.
Please resurrect better-spelt thread titles, gamble.
