I'm loving that Sevconians think not paying Ashley his money is a tactic.. And not actually because The Rangers don't have a pot to piss in

Loving the King regime.. much much funnier than Whyte or Green. Beautifully cruel.
Like rescuing a drowning man.. then feeding him to a group of hungry sharks after he's thanked you effusively

ETA: fucking LOL at you having a go at people's understanding of probability while claiming you can beat roulette in the long run
The fact you are using the term "beat" indicates your stupidity. As I said, you fail utterly to understand how random chance works.
If I put £10 a day on Red on one spin of roulette in a FOBT for the rest of my life I may come out in profit. I will be more likely to come out down, but that's not what your original claim was.
As I said, you don't understand what you are talking about. On the whole subject really. I did particularly enjoy your Homer Simpson-esque understanding of why people have gambling addictions though. Well done on that.
I was waiting on you asking why alcoholics have vodka for breakfast when cereal with skimmed milk would be much healthier for them.

Well, no. Everyone playing roulette or FOBTs consistently over a number of years will lose money. Quite obviously.
Eh, no. Your lack of understanding of addiction appears to be matched by your understanding of gambling and probability.
Oh dear.

Fair enough, maybe it is naive. I just find it amazing people can understand they're going to lose money yet continue to play these games day after day.
This isn't true. You aren't guaranteed to lose money playing FOBTs . Or roulette. Or the lottery.
People win. People lose. Overall yes, the total amount put into the machines is greater than the amount taken out but that doesn't mean every individual loses. Quite obviously.

Coral rumoured to be about to be merged with Ladbrokes.
Could be that programme was a final f**k you.
Corals are heavily bonus based. I had one of their card things and anytime I went to the shop to withdraw money they got me to log into a FOBT and just hit withdraw.
Went through as a session of however much I withdrew and appeared in their stats as if I'd been playing the machine.

Dont think its enough.
Lyth had to go as well.

That leg he played at 9-7 sums him up. Hamilton filling his trousers and he barely finds a treble in 5 visits.

Disgusting performance from van barneveld.

Agreed and I think I said something similar after the New Zealand series but the bowling was worse than the batting. Can't remember who mentioned it or where I seen it but less than 10% of the balls faced by Australia would have hit the stumps if there was no batsman there. That's criminal!
"The group" didn't "execute their plans" well enough.

Mmmm hmmm...
And that's after an edit too. Ouch.

Ballance isn't a no.3 batsman. Doesn't bat there for Yorks so why are England making him do so.
Another thing that needs to improve is their bowling target. The inability to make the Aussies work is almost as bad and the batting
Agreed. The last test was just shameful all round.
Need to win the toss really next Test.

The LTA obviously think the same which is why we now have Bedene as the 'British' no.2.

What the hell happened to Daniel Evans by the way? Back in the days when Murray wasn't playing DC and it was always Ward and Evans in the singles, Evans looked like the better player.
He got injured. And he's always had an issue with training and commitment. He's basically a wee boy in a man's body. Talented but completely incapable of working hard enough to be successful.

Reading the Shardlake series just now.. by CJ Sansom. Really enjoyable.
Read Heartstone, Dissolution and Dark Fire so far.

What's that Pietersen fella up to these days?

Ward can and has been pretty good on his day but he's nowhere near a top 40 grass player.
He's made the 3rd of Wimbledon once in how many 'free' attempts?
He's had some good performances in the Davis Cup but not many outside of it, he's top 100 on the back of an anomalous run at Wimbledon.
Let's not get carried away on the back of Andy Murray's performances here.
Well, grass is his best surface, and there's still a good number in the top 100 in the "grass is for cows" camp. He is quite clearly much higher in the world on that surface than on clay for example, where he'd be lucky to be top 200.
He's a former Queens semi finalist - I noted you missed that out. Also, he's improved immeasurably in the last few years.
Interesting that the world number 89 is "nowhere near" top 40 on his best surface.

Underdog yes. Huge no.
Agreed. I'd give Ward a very decent shot at winning one of his two matches.
Ward is top 100 in the world now. Top 40 on grass I'd say. He's a really solid player.

Bairstow and Taylor are making runs in county cricket too, and will be just waiting on a phone call
Australia have shown in the last test that the "be wary of making changes" lot are wrong as often as they are right.
Watson and Haddin out and their replacements are an immediate success. If you have 3 guys who you fully expect will struggle to make 50 between them in the next innings, you have to take the chance to make changes.
Worst case scenario, the likes of Hales, Taylor, Hildreth and Bairstow will make 7 too. which is all the other three are in all probability going to achieve.

Need at least 2 changes to the batting line up for the next test.
The fact it's at Edgbaston might save Bell's place for one more test. Can't continue with Lyth and Ballance in the top 3 though. Problem is who do you pick?
Bairstow should play, and you really have to go with Hales. He might fail, but I'd have more confidence in him than Lyth who looks awful.

Actualy, BBC claims that the Emirates was 7,700 - that might be enough.

The only potential problem with Glasgow as a venue is the need for 8,000 seats as a minimum for the semi finals.
I thought maybe the Hydro? Depends if they have a concert on that weekend..

That was sensational... pure guts won that second set for Murray yesterday - his level was so low (energy and tennis) but just refused to go two sets down. Animal performance.
We are going to win this thing...
Magnificent stuff from the Brits.

Well its good to see that the odds on you making a c**t of yourself in this thread went from 1/10 to 1/1000,
Who exactly has mentioned 100,000 spins of roulette?
Where your fail began here (if we're ignoring for a sec your fucking atrocious understanding of addiction) is that you equated probability with certainty. An exercise in arrant stupidity.
Which is why you are being pointed and laughed at. And your contribution is being read through finger tips.
Carry on though. Your utter fail here is extremely entertaining.
