so the next time someone tells you that you can not double a quid 20 times in a roll up(million to one chance),ask him how he beat the 400 trillion to one chance to be born.Laugh

If you are alive then the odds of you being alive are a certainty.

TED TALKS /San Francisco /Mel Robbins talks about the odds of being born.

Before I was born I took 7/4 about my future existence . Looks like I took well under the odds given the returned SP .
Maybe I should re-think my theories relating to 'value bets' Crazy

Getting the bet on is easy. It's getting paid if you win thats the problem.

The odds about you dying one day are much shorter.

Seeing as you won't be around to collect you could probably name your price.

There is a transferable bet though, it's called life insurance. How ironic.

If the odds of being born are 4 trillion to 1 and the population of our planet is 8 billion then logic determines that there is a total of 3200,000,000,000,000,000,000 people that don't exist ScaredCrazy

Just like lotteries and FOB machines.

The 3200,000,000,000,000,000,000 were killed by the illuminutty using death soundwaves from ZX Spectrum loading screens. Icke says so.

Didn't David Icke once claim to be a born again christian or was it the Son of GOD ?
Given the odds of being born once the odds of being born again must be 16,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 Shocked
I reckon there's a greater likelihood that he is indeed the Son of God Excited

It begs the question, did God introduce only one sperm cell into Mary or the billion or so usually released?If the latter, there are a billion JCs who never were, if they claim the former then how do they know?

And with the bookies limits being half to one million you'd have to somehow get fractions of a penny on these bets to avoid wastage.

Childbirth and betting wins have a lot more in common than you'd think, they both start with someone getting laid.
