Oh yes, and long before Benson and Bloom.
He’s a big believer in high turnover to exploit small advantages.
Anything and everything they can find an edge with - inefficient markets, horse racing tote rebates etc.. Google Zeljko Ranagojec and you’ll find a few articles on his origins and incredible mathematical prowess.
No shock that those two are involved. Still don’t see how they class it as illegal - it’s nothing that couldn’t be done manually, it’s just sped up by technology. And there was a big risk of multiple winners, meaning they’d lose out.
I miss this comedy duo, absolute gold.
Gold.
Didn’t realise it was Zeljko and Bernard involved but doesn’t surprise. Also don’t see why it could be deemed illegal. It’s nothing that anybody else couldn’t do, just accelerated by using technology. It didn’t block anyone else from winning, they’d have lost if there were multiple winners.
That’s what stewards are for. Buying another Porsche for a lawyer serves no-one.

Nice. Hope it goes ahead for you.
curious - when something like that happens so many years later, do you automatically think it'd be much better if you wrote it now (experience) or just a sense of pride about your 'back catalogue'?
Surely the best reason is 'because I'm not a frigging moron'?

Still one of the best things that has ever been on TV.
The Messiah really did't see it coming.
very interesting. As someone who briefly worked in developing such farms a decade ago, I wonder what the impact of planning conditions is here. Growing taller hedgerows to hide them from the road etc.
While this idea probably came with the right intentions, I'm damn sure this would lead punters to chase their losses more than ever before. next.io/news/regulat...
well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough
Oh sod off. As if you guys really give a toss. She's just another easy target for your sad, bigoted readership.

For a former Federal MP, John Alexander really is clueless about the outside world. ‘Ban betting’ - might as well try unbolting the Harbour Bridge solo. (Last 5mins) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
Ah, lazy sports media roll out an old story because it's tennis time in Melbourne.
No mention that reports of fixing are considerably down because of measures put in place by the ITIA and other integrity operations, with zero reduction in betting data coverage.

“We think we are rich but we are living on an inheritance of previous generations,” says Badenoch - well, she's got one thing very right...and I wonder how much of that is down to the Tories - is it 98 or 99%?
Time to bring out my favourite T-shirt.
Idolizing a billionaire is like believing the stripper actually likes you.
Don’t need them. It’s the lack of access to the local Test players that hurts. And competing with other comps puts more focus on $$. More franchises would push it out of the school holidays window, which is why they cut the no. of fixtures this season.
