    You won't get very good odds for that. Probably make more leaving the money in a current account

      Housewife's bet. The data, via a logistic regression model I've run, suggest England will win.
      Hard Brexit now!

        Sounds way over my head. It does go to show that you know nothing about football though. You need to take into account "Sod's law", pundit bulltulip levels, wind direction, Rooney's temperament, ambient temperature, Ledley's knee, John Terry's sulking, James' cockiness and plenty of other contributing factors.

          Yes, I think I could make a go of living off it. I did when I was at uni but then I had the time to sit and go over the scores for 6 hours before placing a bet.

          Now I just sit on my fat arse all day reading this site and the no risk money comes in.

              The same regression model you use for your madcap AGW assertions no doubt?
              Does it look like a hockeystick by any chance?

                      If it looks like it isn't going your way do you try and lay it during the match?
