blonde poker forum

What odds do people think I could get on this?

I have no music writing pedigree, and let's fix the year as Xmas 2012

I would need a minimum of 33% writing credit to win bet.

I can't play any instruments personally

I have no idea but going on spoilsports book on the blackbeard poker event I wouldn't ask them.

Poker really going that badly atm mate?

Cold...  rotflmfao

Generally firms will just quote a generic 100-1 on things like this.  Be pretty surprised if you would get better than that and some might quote shorter.

This reminds me of obe of the Tony Hawks booksabout him getting a number one or Eurovision entry - you can't just say that and not give us a back story Guy....

haha -

There is no real back story. In my 20's I always wrote lyrics to songs, i guess you might call them poems (but they were songs to me), and my brother occasionally used them for his band.

I love xmas, I have always loved xmas songs, and have often thought of writing one. I think I could probably do a good job of it too.

Thats all really - i guess a bet would just be incentive

A bet would be the incentive? What about the fame, glory and prob never have to work again?

Indeed.  Your kids would never have to work again and in years to come they could effectively adopt a young boy and save him from bullying and embarassing situations.

Def not in it for the fame, but yes the money and achievement!

The writing bit is easy, it's getting into the music industry which would be the hard work

very very big price for 2012

5000/1 for 2012

Am I missing something re:2012 or just too short a time frame?

Max bet would be low on this surely as you could effectively buy yourselve the Xmas number one spot?

439k copies last year

If you give me 5000/1 on a £1k Peeleeeeno

I will be Xmas number 1

Could be epic

'copies' isn't what you think it means. to sell 493k copies there were prolly 1.4m sold actually.

if you try to buy it, you can't.

Explain please

What would happen if I put a two pound coin in every cd case and sold for £1

like it's weird. things are weighted differently...so...

buy on itunes, you might 'sell' 1.2 copies, buy in tesco, maybe 0.6 copies, but only one copy per two minutes counts (just examples)...so imagine you and I are in our local tesco and buy it at the same time. You even buy another copy for the dog. Tesco sells 3 copies in those two minutes, but only 0.6 copies were sold. stuff like that. (edit: that's how it works in lots of europe, I'm assuming same in UK but can't be sure)

you defo can't promote by having anything worth money inside.

Wasn't it New Order that made the packaging for the Blue Monday 12" so elaborate that it ended up costing them a quid for every copy they sold.  It went on to be the best selling 12" ever...talk about run bad.

Yip, that it is one of my favourite facts.
