Really dodgy from SSP

[AussieVamp2]

Not only are they evil Europeans with triples only - they had started a preview email service - not exactly brilliant reading, but occasionally vaguely useful.

Now they will charge! Pretty good, eh? Bookies selling tips and only taking triples.

Probably falls asleep counting the cash.

AussieVamp2, I am an American but I also subscribed to the SSP info. I am soaking up all the information out there on sports betting on a global scale. Now they want paid. As we say in the States "El Paso". Scotty

[AussieVamp2]

scott, good for you - yeah, no way was that worth paying for

its funny, but it seems highly knowledgeable US types can have little concept of what goes on on the rest of Terra

wouldn't imagine someone in finance or something looking at it like that, but a bookie has to make lines on the local stuff I guess - but would think people would read and surf etc - why is that do you think?

[AussieVamp2]

Possibly the same debate I saw on the Today Show replay a while back, and is often mentioned - the US 'media insularity' thing?

I think the triples only is for the online SSP only.. the offline one is "quadruples only". At least that's how it used to be. Give me a break..

AV, I think the word to use is "(media) ignorance".

[AussieVamp2]

fin, was only quoting Katie Couric, sort of

and they were actually talking about serious world events there

not La Manga and football

[AussieVamp2]

quadruples?

at least if a I buy tattslotto tickets or pick 6 or something some of the money goes to something worthwhile, not making some bookie richer
