Need money. Do you think....

[Stingo]

I need money quickly. Do you think that William Hill will give me favourable odds that the Pope won't see in the month of March?

If I've offended any religious forumites, please remember that I get offended when religious people try convert me to their way of thinking.

Nixoned or Kennedy'd?

He is so due for a hit IMO, no other prez has split a country quite like this one.

There is no way the radicals in the US are going to stand for his God fearing behaviour, don't you think?

Re: Nixoned or Kennedy\'d....

..or Hunter S Thompson'd.

Wonder why.

I'm offended that you won't be placing the bet with Ladbrooks.

What boat has this Pope bloke got then? Is he a new poster? And isn't March a bit early in the season to be handing in yer dinner pail?
William Hill will take your dosh, no question. They took mine regularly, and on events which I considered to have far less fanciful an outcome. I didn't get any richer - on account of they take yer money and then conspire to affect the outcome when you take your eye off the ball for a mo. Not a trustworthy bunch, but very consistently pay dividends to their shareholders.
I would take out a policy at Lloyds instead, as they pay out far more than the bookies.

what are the odds on the new president of Iraq seeing out the year ?

 

[Stingo]

I see a five-way bet looming.

1 - Bush - shot
2 - Iraq president - shot
3 - TB.Liar - shot in the back
4 - Pope - arrival at Pearly Gates
5 - Henman/Montgomery don't win anything

Evens on #4

What about:
6 - Charlie Boy & The Moose changing the date of the wedding that nobody wants to attend?
