Alas, Burlington Bertie, we hardly knew ye

Yeah I think this is a joke, fractions ftw.

I think it was Barry Dennis who made a funny comment on sky sports news when interviewed by saying he's been shouting for years "Burlington Bertie the field, whats it gonna be now, 3.33333 recurring the field!"

LOL

but that the beauty Rookie. Nobody will use the ridiculous price of 4.333333 recurring when they can use the perfectly simply 4.3 instead.

Many long term gamblers can't work out traditional odds payouts. I suspect plenty can't figure it out in decimal either.

First time i got a footie coupon up i had to ask the bookie for a recount but most would simply accept the return as given.

what did it come to £1.65 or £1.70 then?

It should have been around £115 and he gave me £70 as he "missed out 1 game".

I don't think he expected an 18 year old to be able to work it out to the penny. He retired a while back and it's now ladbrokes.
