goddamnedtwisto posted:I don't think you understand how specials betting works. By definition a specials bet is long odds because it's something that's unlikely, but it has to be something that's within the realms of possibility or there'd be no market for it. Nobody's offering a market on whether the sun will rise in the west tomorrow. Also on broad non-exclusive markets like those two I posted there's no point in offering a lay because the odds will be way too short for anyone to be interested. If you absolutely must, I'm sure you could find an exchange that would let you lay that bet, but I'm pretty sure you'd need to put up several grand before your winnings round down to zero. My point is more that on specials the odds are essentially jokes and marketing decisions, not in any sense reflective of the odds a bookie actually has on something happening. The bookie puts on the odds they think will make the most money and generate publicity, not the odds they think are actually accurate. They can put an event which is a million to one on at ten to one because making the punter think an event is more possible than it actually is increases betting. I know that might seem obvious, but maybe I’m jaded because I’ve seen way to many people treat odds from bookies like they’re the chances the bookie thinks of things actually happening. You see it all the time in the media especially around elections.

I fully agree that punters are loving idiots and the odds are meaningless as predictors though.

I mean, poo poo may go down, but I very much doubt we'd have another Charles I. Maybe you could gloriously restore some minor cadet branch of the Plantagenets?

Unfortunately the shutdown happening is the default "non-political" approach of the Queen following the PM's instructions. Preventing it is what would require her going rogue and actively intervening, which there's zero chance she will do.

so just for clarity with the current state of things, does bojo still have until some time in October to get a brexit deal before the EU just says 'ok gently caress it, hard brexit we're done with this poo poo'? Is that what this scam is, just shut parliament down so there's no choice but 'aw gee the evil EU is FORCING us to do this'?
