Well it’s in debatable taste, and hard to judge how reliable the info they get would be.

But there it’s debatable it would be used in the way you suggest, tho there is a historical subtext. Apparently in the run-up before Sept 11th, a series of substantial short sells (a way of betting the price of a stock will fall), were placed on American Airlines. And they traced a few of these to Al Quaeda, which is one ofthe ways they guessed it was them.

So who’e your money on for the new season, north AND south of the border?

I’ve a cheap wee bet on, designed to give me a seasons lowcost entertaiment, raher than high return. An accumulator and 5 four folds across:
Rangers to win, Clyde each way, Newcastle each way; Ipswich each way and Bristol City each way. Whatcha reckon?

I reckon you’ve spent far too much time in the bookies for normal people to understand anything you say.

An accumulator = all five of my predictions have to come up - ie my winnings build up as they come in.

a fourfold - i need four of my five to come in. Effectively 5 accululators over the various combinations of four teams in my bet. So if Ipswich slp up, i still win anyway, just not as much.

each way - lower return, but a pay out for second third and even fourth, depending on the division.

Not hard.
