Seems fine, but £10 at 9/2 returns £55, and at 9/1 returns £100. Which isn't double. You're not supposed to include your initial stake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've genuinely never heard anyone pine for living in Edinburgh in my life. I've got a friend who lives there for work and even he doesn't want to live there. I reckon I'd rather live absolutely anywhere else in Scotland. I like Edinburgh. Don't know if I'd want to live there, mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Bought a Moka pot to make coffee just last week: the first three/four brews worked fine but it is no longer producing anything other than steam and a tiny dribble of hot water in the top chamber. I've tried using a coarser grind, the valves are all completely clear and, most importantly, I've tried shouting at it as well. Nothing has worked and unless it solves itself I'm going to have to go through the no doubt wonderful experience of trying to punt it back through Amazon returns. <<< Incandescent with rage -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's faulty you would only get steam as the pressure won't be enough to make coffee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont work as decimal odds though. i.e todays "Double Up Offer" is doubled from 3.00 to 5.00 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Moving house next week so listed a few things we no longer need on Facebook Marketplace and gumtree.The amount of folk that message asking if an item is still for sale then never get back to you when you tell them it is.Can only assume they are considering selling a similar item and are wanting to find out if it sold at the price you've listed it for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
