Scotland

[Filo]

IM proud of intelligence Scots coming out in force to dismiss the bigots.
were all one and Scotland and its people have gone up in my estimation. I did think they'd go for it! I know the thick a a brick yorkies would!!
momentous day in our history

I can understand your joy, however it is misguided. The Tories will win the next election and you will be ruled from Westminster once again by a party you despise. Good luck with that.

As for your comment 'thick as a brick yorkies' I can understand why you have made this comment. It is because you have spent too much time reading this forum and this has skewed your judgement. Unfortunately all the lefties on here do give a poor representation of the intelligence level amongst yorkies. I do my best to redress the balance and will continue to do so.

Ready to prove that bet yet Mick?

By God Mick you've made a cock of yourself haven't you.

Time to make a new account? Ah well, at least you didn't put that bet on in the end, eh?

Expect Mick to crawl back under his rock and ignore this thread now

There'll be no crawling under a rock by me thank you very much. First of all I'd like to magnanimously congratulate the 'No' campaign on scaring predominantly the older generation into voting 'No'. Well done, you twisted the truth and have won a thoroughly undeserved victory.

Well done to all of you that correctly predicted the outcome. It's the first time I can ever remember being wrong about anything, but there is a first time for everything. I have learned  from this experience and this has hardened my resolve so as to make sure it never happens again.

Now, as to my hefty wager. The reason I am a professional gambler and all of you are mug punters is as follows. I backed a 'Yes' vote at 20/1. Recently I decided that instead of risking losing £10k in the event of a 'No' vote I would make a substantial profit whatever the result. So I decided to lay my bet off at 3/1. By doing this I guaranteed myself a profit of £41,309.82. Here is the proof.

It would be a bit too complicated for all of you for me to explain the complex mathematics involved in working out my winnings, but for those of you that want to have a go you need to realise that I was working on paying the betting exchange 3% commission.

OK, I could have made £200,00 if there had been a 'Yes' vote if I hadn't laid the bet off. The downside is that I could also have lost £10,000 if there had been a 'No' vote. I decided that a guaranteed profit of £41,309.82 regardless of how the vote turned out was the way forward. This is the mentality of a professional gambler and it is what keeps me in my luxurious lifestyle.

Hopefully you mug punters have learned a valuable lesson from this experience. I must point out that the betting slip shows a stake of £2896.73. The lay stake was £52896.73. The '5' doesn't show on the betting slip as the box wasn't big enough to fit all the numbers in.

FFS! You really do think we're all stupid! Strange you never mentioned laying the bet off before, and that slip is even worse than the last bet you never put on! This is the last time I respond to any of your messages, the best thing to do with a WUM is not to respond, hopefully you'll go away and post on the L**ds forum instead! - you will not get me taking the bait any more! Get a f*ck*ng real life instead of a virtual one! You are Jeremy beadle and I claim my £5! Knob!

I beg to differ. I didn't titter once.

Are you on twitter Billy?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Me Gaz? Nah. I have used it once - I had to set up an account to register a meteor that I saw, on a meteor-tracking website.

Too busy for Twitter as well as this place and my other on-line guilty pleasures.

Can't beat twitter. It's what you make it. Alex Salmond actually tweeted a reply to angry salmond if I remember rightly. Can't ever see some of the westminster arseholes doing that.
