(why do we need a TB if earliest post wins??)

Suppose we're all wrong on the score?

I'm not pessimistic, I'm hedging.
Plym 2, Ox 1

UOOOU
In a turnout as low as Dale's away support, most of us lost -1 on possession.

Hoglette 0
Hog +1
AColi +2
Geoff +3
leaving Radley - the only one going Under on possession - on +4 points.

(Apparently that's a "thing"). Unders and overs. Point for correct. You may add a joker to double your score on a question, but a penalty of -1 will be imposed if you are wrong.

Oooh, this is easy marking: Hoglette it is.

OK, simplicity and back to 50p in the kitty, winner takes all (which was the original idea, wasn't it?):

Name the first Oxford scorer ("no-one" is a permissible answer). No repeats.

TB: time of first goal in the match (if equidistant, earlier time wins).

Or (I see it is now the afternoon and so this may be too late) that for every £1 you invest, you'll get £0.78 back. So it depends how long those retirement savings last! I remember being at a conference in Nevada watching market-efficiency espousing economists marching into a casino displaying over ...

So this is why bookmakers make money and punters lose.

Everyone is -£10 except:
Geoff (nett break even),
Radley (nett plus £7.50) and
Me (nett plus £17.50)

(Bookie is up £16, 22% return on £70 turnover - I don't think I've ever run a betting boot where the bookie hasn't come out on top)

Sorry.

A betting boot: bet £5 on one of the bets in (a) and £5 on one of the bets in (b). Person with highest end total wins. (a) what is the full-time result: a1 Ox win (5 to 4 on) a2 Draw (5 to 2) a3 Lose (3 to 1) (b) pick one of the following: b1 total goals two or less (evens) b2 Ox win 1-0 (6 to 1) b3...
