RTE2: No Experience Required

Exactly Niamh, we don't know what the circumstances were at the time.

The circumstances were Liverpool were playing West Ham at home. When it came on I said it to my friend they have to have at half that on the 'Pool to cover themselves, dont go for glory with some poxy goal no goal before half time bet. There's no way he'd have done that with his own money.

When you're thinking, 'what does PP want me to do?' you probably aren't going to act as you normally would.

But thats the point I'm trying to make - they are in the business of making money and so should you be with your own cash. The smart move is take Liverpool for a big amount and you can maneuver from there. The bet will be alive untill the end but a bet for first goal scorer, 0-0 FT etc... could be dead after 5 mins. They try to avoid liabilty and taking those sort of bets atrracts liabilty. It just seemed like they were playing a little bit with monoploy money on that task.




I'd have liked to have heard how they priced the games up and the comparisons. Obviously Julian seemed pretty much on the mark and he was always going to win if he got that right.

Judging someone purely on how much cash they made would be flawed as could be lucky. I believe this is why they looked at the logic & not the result.
