MattyNeth Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: 2012 Olymic bid Yep, confirmed as a spoof on Betfair forum. We'll soon see what the result is:hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreeq Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: 2012 Olymic bid That spoof is probably what triggered the drop to 1.2. I do think we'll have to wait till a few minutes before the announcement to see any major changes in prices based on real information.

Sir Puntalot Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: 2012 Olymic bid Pleased for london, but gutted for Matty. :\ I'm stunned we got it ahead of Paris, I only knew when the courier delivering my PC came to my door and said "So, you happy about your council tax going up then?" I said "eh?" "Yeah, we've just won the Olympics!" I was like "WTF!" :eek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to take a break from it all I feel:( I got stuffed in the same way with the pope, Paris should have got the Olympics for so many reasons and all the signs were good.

zonker84 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: 2012 Olymic bid http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/olympics_2012/4656529.stm Slightly strange voting patterns, Madrid's vote actually went down from round two to round three. I'm not exactly joining Matty in the poor house, but I've had a bet standing on Paris since May 2004 @ 2.10, why oh why didn't I hedge my bets :( Oh well, seeing the French gutted makes up for at least :lol Chirac upsetting the Finnish people saying they have the worst food in the world could've been the difference (they have 2 IOC members someone told me) !

tyreeq Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: 2012 Olymic bid Should have bloody layed off my bet :@ I'm delighted as a Londoner, and hedging my emotions was the main reason I bet on Paris anyway, so guess it's a :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marek76 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: 2012 Olymic bid btw, the above clapping of mine has got nothing to do with any bet whatsoever (am having summer betting catharsis, havent placed a bet for two months now). i'm just pleased London got it. feel sorry at the same time for whoever lost on Paris.
