The equation - one for the bookies

[oxleymoron]

A question for TG and TLH.

What odds will you give me on the following multibet? It is the exact sequence of results required for the to make the finals. I know it is a matter of mathematics, but I would be interested to see what they come up with.

Round 13

to beat Hurricanes by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Hurricanes
Bulls to beat the Brumbies
Highlanders to beat the Blues by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Blues
Waratahs to beat the Stormers by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Stormers
Lions to beat the Chiefs by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Chiefs
Cheetahs to beat the Sharks by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Sharks

Round 14

Blues to beat the Hurricanes by more than 7pts and both teams not getting a 4 try BP
to beat the Brumbies with a 4 try BP
Reds to beat the Waratahs by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Waratahs
Lions to beat the Stormers by more than 7pts and no 4 try BP for Stormers
Sharks to beat the Chiefs by more than 7pts and both teams not getting a 4 try BP

The resulting ladder could look like this

Crusaders 57pts
Waratahs 41pts
Force 37pts
Hurricanes 36pts
Sharks 36pts
Blues 35pts
Stormers 35pts
Chiefs 33pts

The 4 Try BP is required against the Brumbies to ensure that we finish a point clear of the persuing pack, because of our poor for/against points scores.

If the odds are about 1 million to 1, I will slap some vcash on it.

I'm in too! Twice as I believe in the , Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny, the Bogie Man and the Tooth Fairy!

[jargan83]

i might be in for a piece of that action as well

[travelling_gerry]

let me get out my abacus...

[jazza93]

7000/1 seems fair

[GIGS20]

'Tahs to beat the Stormers....Reds to beat the 'Tahs

Based upon what I saw this weekend at least one of those is unlikely to happen

I'm not touching it for less than 10K:1

Add to that Lions to beat Chiefs AND Stormers!!!!!!!!!!

[jono]

i might have a piece of that as well!

[laura]

I dont even understand what good odds are...so I bet a little vCash on everything, but you all seem keen on this so I may have to bet a more than just a little bit of vCash.

[force addict]

neither.
2/1 is good i thnk

[JediKnight]

who's game enough to take this down to the local TAB?!

[jazza93]

its not going to happen

[The Lone Hydrangea]

Laura, you have 486000 odd up ya sleeve. You have to speculate to accumulate. Its not your money( hopefully the bookies)

[laura]

I gave you my actual cash the other day!!

If someone can PM me about betting on odds, I have no idea, I just bet for what I want to happen, I dont know whether I will make money from those bets or not!

[jono]

if the odds are 2/1 and you bet a dollar. if you win you get $2
if you loose you only loose the dollar you bet

hows that for a basic explanation TLH?
