LOVE it when that happens, I got some backwater team at 11 to one on a £5 bet. Father in law and Grandfather in law both took the absolute mick out of me for placing the bet saying the odds werent long enough. Saw them next day £60 up, happy days :D:D


I only gloated a little, honest.

£4, 20-1
Never been that lucky before

Mine was £4 on 11/2 and I won after some careful research and an educated guess! Didn't go with the advertised bet 'in the window' but chose my own and won... paid for a nice meal out! Much love.

RE is DEAD atm for me.

No, y'all don't come across at all like smug gits! Think the most I've won is £12 - which admittedly is better than the usual naff all!

I just keep wondering what would happen if the lottery ticket I purchase during a GR non-posh supermarket visit ('cos I ain't 25 yet - now who's smug? ) comes up with all 6 numbers...?

Stryder

hmmmm at 13M to 1 I would hope you would get 13M.

Why is RE dead to marvellousaunt? They been misbehaving?

HeavensDevil

That's what I'd hope too Just wonder if the company (MS or client, I'm not sure which) would try to claim they have a right to the money as they are paying me to be there - assuming I have come across this hypothetic multi-million pound lottery result after submitting my MS results. Before submitting my results, I suppose I would just cancel the job for any shoddy ol' reason I want; having just won the jackpot, I wouldn't likely care less what they thought of me for doing so :rotfl:

Yes, I know that given the odds, it's hardly worth thinking about, it was just a random thought that popped into my head one time and now I'm somewhat curious as to what our rights would be in such a situation (Although I would request that my details not be released to the media anyway.)

Stryder

if you win do not claim your pound and resign? lol

Ha, no they're fine. Just quiet. Then a load of pubs went up shortly after.

GFK has been really quiet for a few weeks as well. I never get any supermarkets on GR? All I've got are furniture, tvs, clothes, phones and a kids shop... maybe only 2 a month come up in my area? Thinking of changing my areas to get better recommendations...

ETA: What's with the posh sandwiches upload on RE? There was nothing on last night, then I log on this morning and loads of ones have come up with a date of 13-14 October? That's yesterday? CONFUSED.

I suppose that would work! If I requested not to have my name released to the media, then GR/client shouldn't be able to find out.

Does anyone else find that on ESA they get jobs listed "within 10 miles" that are nowhere near. I always get ones in Ireland (I am not)

Southern Ireland doesn't have postcodes, and ESA give ones with no postcodes to everyone!
