blonde poker forum

I've been having some great conversations at the tables recently. I'm going to post some hypothetical situations that have come up. Here's one.

1. How much would you pay to have the knowledge of tomorrow's Man Utd vs Chelsea FA Cup result? You'd know it with 100% certainty.

Got to think in terms of how much you can get on between now and the game. E.g. if the answer is your net worth - well now you don't have any £ to bet on the game. How much could you borrow in 24 hours? How could you convince anyone that it was guaranteed return? Can write in %ages of net or ££ figures. Assume there wont be any problem getting paid, no investigation or whatever.

Great question/ 24 hr task!

First I would need to check with arb if there are any deposit limits on betfair in 24 hours  :D.........

Do we just get to know who wins or the exact score and who scored?

I'd imagine the worst odds on a correct score have to be 5/1 or so? Just a guess I don't bet on football.

If we only get to know the W/L/D bit then the best odds are about evens? Again that's a guess.

I could probably lock up £250k through personal savings/shares and family and friends. within 24 hours if It was on a working day, Id sign guarentees with those who have assistsd that should anything go wrong Id repay in full, also id offer them 10% juice.

Fun question.

Well if you know exact score and nothing else you can still bet hundreds of very liquid markets.

1x2, all handicap markets, all goals O/U markets (total & each team), BTTS yes/no, win to nil yes/no, correct score (obv), then all the specials markets (O2.5gl BTTS ets), once you've gotten through all that you can go to betfair and lay everything that doesn't come in. How much fun, just printing.

If you knew the match details, who scores, time of goals, # of card, # of corners etc then that's even more fun!

£500k. Then i'd be beg/borrowing/stealing from anywhere possible, offering people 25% freerolls to put bets on, offering 20% vig on 3day loans etc, try get some credit accounts somewhere, sell things, take everything to the pawnshop etc, actually sounds fun :)

Obv i'd stick a few things up on TfT too!

We need to suggest it to Lord Sugar.....great task for The Appentice  :)

If I could convince you lot it was true maybe about a milly and I could then pull off blondes greatest grim and bugger off to the arse end of the Philippines and live happily ever after  ;cheerleader;

you'd convince me i promise you that!

;applause; ;applause; ;tightend;

Try and get a photo taken with the ref. Use this as the evidence? Maybe fake an email? Imagine borrowing everything you can and getting it on only having to grab an extra £5 for a pint whilst the games on.

Is this hypothetical game fixed, or have we somehow tyravelled in time to learn the result.

If it's the former, the info is worth a great deal less than the latter.

You might end up in hundreds of thousands of debt and not get paid by the bookmakers...

Dang, I knew there was a reason to read the OP in its entirity.

2. How long would you make the person closest to you spend in prison in order to save your pinkie finger?

(You can chose the hand :P )

Almost certainly zero unless the method of removal is really twisted!

I take it back, probably about 36 hours

sick rub

That wasn't the angle I was going for lol

Ugh, finish the story Dave! Get to the good part then you just leave us hanging  :P

I'd happily do a few years to save the pinkie finger of the person closest to me.

If they aren't prepared to do the same they don't really deserve the title.

Reminded me of this great scene  :)

No chance im making my mum go to prison.

Slice it off.

Really tough call but I'd do it if I had to.....

Agreed. However if it was my penis I would be comfortable with mum going to the electric chair.

Left nut?

a few years? to save a pinkie? What a noble and honourable man you are.

out on parole,max a year.

that's a LONG time.

For my sisters finger? I'd hate myself for the rest of my life if I didn't sacrifice that year.

It's just a finger, she'll live (trust me)

don't let my cynicism detract from the fact you're a top bloke though :)

Chew your fingers off to save your life...

I've tried that "it's just a finger" line a few times and it never works
