My grandmother used to say “at least a fella can only drink till he falls down” when giving out about gambling.

I was going to make a similar point but I didn’t have the eloquence of your grandmother so I deleted my long-winded attempt to make that argument.

I love a punt, but bookies are an evil bunch of crooked cunts, they’d let you go hungry rather than affect their bottom line

Its not a fair game, they’re limiting payouts and if they see you are beating the odds they’ll limit or shut you down. It’s a mugs game, even when you’re winning they won’t let you win.

I saw an Australian colleague throw two weeks wages into a slot machine (or “pokie”) about an hour after he got paid them. Was incredible how popular they were over there and how much money people put into them

I fancy 8 horses at long odds for Cheltenham. I was thinking Of doing a few very small money lucky 31s. How many would I have to do to cover every combination of horse?

How did you come to that number? I put it into my gaa clubs what’s app group and got several different answers.

Goliath[edit]

A wager on eight selections and consisting of 247 separate bets: 28 doubles, 56 trebles, 70 fourfolds, 56 fivefolds, 28 sixfolds, 8 sevenfolds and an eightfold accumulator. A minimum two selections must win to gain a return.

2517

That’s a slightly different bet do is it not?

2518

Would there be a strong grasp of probability in the GAA club whatsapp generally?

Here you go mate where n is the number of selections and k is the number of options

It is but it should give you a steer. Doing multiple lucky 31s on 8 selections would seem a bit pointless rather than your own combinations.
