I couldn't give a toss about personalities, I believe in the power of the pound not the love of an individual, that's for people like you that make the bookies a fortune with your logic (if of course you actually do bet which I doubt)

Im open for discussions anytime but if you want to turn this into a troll thread, walk on please as I am not that interested in arguing with people that cant reach my level.

As I pointed out, you didn't simply make an insurance bet. You abandoned your prediction altogether. If you were still confident Joel would go, you'd bet 80 at 5/2 on Eileen to cover your first bet, and win 420 with zero risk.

It seems like you've backtracked from your claim about being an Oracle or great predictor of outcomes in the game. That's reasonable. Abandoning your prediction is the appropriate response, given your uncertainty. Your response to the favourable shift in the odds is a sound one.

After re-reading your post I see you're actually describing an imaginary bet that isn't even available to you, not one you've actually place.
