Have you considered the BRIC's? (Brazil, Russia, India, China)

Fortunately that's the likely value of 113 SKA shares when it floats later this year.

FTFY

Go for Laddies Boy, 1.30 from Chepstow at 10-1. Heard on the grapevine he's taken a bung from Indian Bookmakers to fall at third fence.

Big Dave's Bookies is giving odds on fallers at the fences! You'll get 14-1 for the fall.

Shhhhhhhh. Taps nose.

Buy lottery tickets.

What is the output of this program, for any lottery of your choice:-

0. Assume a lottery win; set iterations = 0
1. While winnings >0; iterations++
2. Spend winnings on lottery tickets; wait for draw; collect winnings
3. End loop
4. Debug.sob "Winnings = 0 after " & iterations

This program will not run forever (ignoring small change difficulties).
