Check out the house cut on that bet. How do bookies ever go broke??!!!??

Bit of an understatement Mr J :smile:

Channel 7's Sunrise program 'real' medal tally based on population size. Current ranking.

1 Bahamas
2 Australia
3 Greece
4 New Zealand

NZ's win in the Triathlon actually took them back past Greece and if they win a Gold in the Kayaking as is quite possible, they'll go ahead of us into 2nd place.

By setting markets at too close to 100%.
Try going to a farmer and ask what price he got paid per kilo for his potatoes.
Then thank God for the small commission bookies ask.

Mo, just in case you didn't realise it was a joke. House edge is always large on irregular bets (things like world cups, exotic bets, olympics props etc).

Actually the reason bookies go broke isn't because the markets are too close to 100%, it's because they don't manage their risk effectively. Pinnacle, lowest vig on the market but easily one of the most profitable.
