Sometimes the two are contradictory, but as they have zero impact on what actually DOES happen, it isn't a problem. I've even placed a bet on the Tories winning the next General Election, and as Tricky will confirm that's something I don't want to happen.
    Sorry, but it's plainly illogical to place a bet and want it to lose in any circumstances.

    And as for this "Rabbi" accusation, if as you say I am he, then I would have to be pretty stupid to acknowledge being him just to allow the mad paranoid freaks on the saddie forum to shriek their usual "ban him, ban him" nonsense do you not think eh dude?

    You are obviously not a gambler or you would understand what Elite is saying.

    Exactly. It must be a pretty simple mind that's incapable of separating the two.

    His comment on "being over emotional and lacking rational thought" clearly went way over your head.

    What on earth has that got to do with it. The base fact is that you are waging money on a bet you want to lose. How on earth is that logical?

    It's not a case of wanting to lose more of a case of not mind losing.
