I Told You So Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I had £10 at 130/1 (betfair) on a rise last month and those gutless pussies bottled it and cost me £1300. Bearing in mind they have a preview of the CPI figure before their decision what on earth were they thinking of, if the votes not 4 to 3 when the minutes come out tomorrow I want a stewards enquiry. Gutted. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Told You So Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) i'm convinced they do get some sort of advanced copy of the cpi Edited July 18, 2006 by I Told You So Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichB Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 So they meet monthly, cpi comes out monthly, but they meet before they get the cpi Or am I just way off on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Doom Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 The betfair odds for a +0.25 rise in August are now only 4.7 (3.1 at one point). I got my boots filled at 15. Fingers crossed. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 So the odds this month were 130 to 1 and for next month they are currently 4.7 to 1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Darke Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Frankly if losing £10 means that much to you it's a poor reflection on your mental stability. But the HP mentality is that he lost £1300, not £10 By the same measure, I lost £6000 in the June MPC decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
