I'd say a pro bettor (non > poker) chooses what he thinks will happen but will > only bet on it if the odds represent good value. > They surely don't bet on what they think won't > happen. Nope. Most pro bettors look for value. Plus EV is a pro betting concept as well. If you find 3/1 outcomes priced consistently at 4/1 you make a profit in the long term.

Just two weeks without a 10/1 and your bankroll starts to suffer badly. Stick to losing money on straight bets like the rest of us RD :)

I have a copy if still needed pm me

..basically the bottom line is context, surely?

Out of interest I talked to my mum about this and she confirmed that he would thinhk that someonne was being a bit rude if they refferred to her as 'that woman' rather than that 'that Lady', now as a thoroughlly capable and intellihgent woman I am not going to sit down and give her and her contemporaries a lecture on lingisutic decontruction or how her acceptanece of athis patraiachal nonsense is an acceptanece of her repression etc etc. Furthermore, I chatted with my missus(opppos opression RIGHT there in that very word) who says that in certain CONTEXT she'd find the being called a Lady in a one-to-one a 'bit archaic' - work environment, one-to-one in a normal, but not in a general situation. Soooo, Rosie I think your tilting at windmills (my opinion) making this part of some feminist battle. As I said earlier, I'd never say Ladies/Lady to female colleagues at work and would find it, at best, outdated if a male colleague did...but again, can't recall the last time I heard it in this context. Meanwhile out on the Lane in Local parks/pubs etc I am probably still going to use Lady as description to my kids when reffering to someone who is also in earshot....at the risk of offence to some (probably a minority). As I know Rosie, Asset and Katie I will not in their case. Really we should be trying to make people use gentleman rather than man to solve this, that would be far more civil and equal.

If the odds offered are better than your prediction of the likelihood of the result then you have value. I don't think Ed Milliband will be next PM if you offer me above 4/1 I am taking it all day.

depends on odds

I don't think you can on these mr M. Despite not being an accy fan, I was thinking on similar lines myself. Some of the games are different kick offs/days so you could kind of do one yourself in that sense, although it's slightly more of a pain.

..i'd include Campbell with him

Yup. I was going to correct my post earlier on resigned on the principle of Ministerial Responsibility or whatever it is. Others, notably Robin Cook, have resigned on a matter principle ...or in other cases expediency, since.

Mine and Missuses Quids' wedding song was Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan FACT

Oh what a tangle - as a further illustrattion my missus quite often says Come on Ladies to her mates virtually/or in reality ie if they want a night out etc I'd never say come on gentleman/gents in a similar situation. I honestly can't remember for eg when I heard it said in a mixed crowd apart from clearly ironically nor when I last heard it in the workplace in a non-formal setting...though I'm obviously less likely to pick it up. if my kids bump into a woman on Lordship Lane I suspect I will still say "Say sorry to that Lady" but now return to my home fretting that not only am I a perpetuator of stereotypical gendererism but I am socialising my kids with it....maybe. I think my my mum would be mildley offended if a stranger reffered to her as a woman rather than a lady (i will check) but would other woman of a similar age - it's now becoming an ageist/sexist minefield.
