Betting on UK Champs?

Yes I am on a team, but have you seen the latest shuffling around of the UK Champs accomodation list? Are Apples even sleeping anywhere in Manchester ;)
I've hobo'd it up in Manchester after plenty of gigs. And this time I'll have Rik to stop me being molested.

ha! He'll have first dibs.

my giant.

Bfg

Shit be complicated yo. Players can play on more than one team ...

those are Josh's odds, let him state them, let other people state their own odds, then we have a few books running. Choose which book you want to place your bets in.

it's always better to have more than one book open.

Grand National tomorrow!!

La Schoomove playing 4 fixtures, tomorrow!!

Three Beards cancelling two fixtures, tomorrow!!

fail.

wich ones are you canceling?

The two against La Schmoove

here they are... your odds for winning the UK Bike Polo Championships 2010.. i can't say much about how i calculated them, other than the fact it was objective, and Dr. Chukker paid me handsomely ...

0.145 Malice International - LDN
0.143 Cosmic³ - LDN
0.140 BAD - LDN

1. blah .. blah ... blah ... the rest of you losers ...
   
   

I'm liking these odds Josh, good work!

So is everyone else (i.e., those who want to make money). He runs a book as good as you, Iain ;)

There is definitely money to be made in this.

You don't seem to have changed Asbo or Nettos standing in relation to the fact that we kicked their arse last night?

it's tournament standings only, no personal insights included. otherwise asbo of course would be above netto, oxford would be lower since they have different players, and london league teams that haven't played many tournaments but have done well would be higher as well (la schmoove, elks etc.)

So the wheel and seeding process is finalised...

Josh are you taking bets at those odds or are they just numbers in a spreadsheet?

I will probably only take bets on outright winner - I can't be bothered to update several sets of odds. A bet will only be placed when I have the cash in my hand - doesn't matter what you say in this thread. These odds are subject to change, you will be informed what the current odds are at the time you hand over the cash. Some of you will no doubt notice that the over round is pretty big - this is because I want to drastically reduce my volatility and variance. If nobody wants action at these prices then I'll revisit but I think there are some good bets in there to make up for it.

The odds below are for outright winner. They are decimal odds, indicating what you will receive for a £1 stake. Decimal odds include your original stake in the payout. For example, BAD are currently at 2.0 which is evens or 1:1. This means a bet of £10 returns £20 (your original stake plus £10).

BAD : 2.0 (Man United - play in red and win a lot)
Cosmic : 4.0 (Arsenal - allowing Emmet to play with them demonstrates dedication to youth policy)
Malice : 5.0 ( Chelsea - bunch of foreigners in an English league)
Rotten Apples : 5.0 (Liverpool - The Spaniard is the key...)
La Schmoove : 7.0 ( Man City - Robinho went there?!?)
3 beards : 10.0 (No idea but apparently they will actually be riding their proper bikes...)
Netto : 10.0
ELKs : 20.0
Fiasco : 20.0
Fen Boy 3 : 20.0
Cogs : 20.0 (currently in blistering form)
Conos : 20.0
Cream : 20.0
UK Champs : 50.0
Black Rebel : 50.0
Sparkle Motion : 50.0
ASBO : 50.0
3 Less Toffs : 50.0
Gnarly Bones : 50.0
Two Beer Rule : 50.0
So-Yo : 50.0
3 Guys 10 Eyes : 100.0
Black Stabbath : 100.0
EFG : 100.0
Sneakinsters: 100.0
Mallets Jaune: 100.0
Newcastle: 100.0
Brighton: 200.0
Hip Replacements: 200.0
Birmingham: 200.0

I'm guessing you're going to move the bets as people start placing money, right? Otherwise you could be in trouble. Min/max bet?

Cosmic, Malice and Schmoove are appealing...

not taking bets, sir. MAKING bets maybe
