Is that how Bookies work? Someone places a bet so they change the odds in case they have to pay out.
Could it get to the point where, if "The Field" becomes MoM, I have pay the Bookie £6 and get £1 back

[bearded bloke]

Nah you took ant early punt so the payout will be on the odds at that time,late comers will be at the newer rate

THats exactly how they work........it's how favourites are worked out and more sinisterly how bookies always win!

They also make attractive outsiders so that people bet on em and lose........

I might well have a few bob on "the rest of the world" when the odds are announced

The male/female split is interesting too. I wonder what the ratio is? I can't even hazard a guess

[bearded bloke]

Well this year we have had 4 Welsh moms (2 female 2 male),1 female Australian,1 male Scotsman,so in that 6 month period there is a 50/50 gender split & no English

I hate odds,I have never been able to work them out properly

[Newton]

We've had 12 months this year......just seems like six!

Psssst. They are not real odds.........just a bit of an observatory fun......

What about Lottie Dolly - a female English MoM and BigMallly a male English gorilla

Bet Chris never envisaged this going to 9 pages when he started it what are the odds on breaking 10 or even 12 before it gets locked I wonder
