There are some things in life that make you shudder
 
and then scream. NO. NO. THATS A ****ING STUPID IDEA YOU MORONS

Glamour model Jordan is the favourite to represent the UK at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev.

Bookmakers Ladbrokes gave her odds of 10/11 on winning Saturday's Making Your Mind Up show, when the UK's song will be chosen by public vote.
oh someone save us.
Please.

It's like the entire english nation is quickly becoming chav city.

Totally OT, but could someone quickly explain to mean what "odds are 10/11 on something" means. Does that mean if I bet 10 quit on on this event and it actually happens, I'll get 11 back? And in case it doesn't, I'll get nothing back?
And 8/1means then what? Sorry, but I was never really sure...

i think its if you bet 11 quid you get your original stake back plus another 10 quid, so you get 21 quid total. 8/1 is bet 1 pound get that plus 8 pound back, so if you make that an 11 pound stake you get 99 pound back (your original 11 plus 88).

sadly this seems to mean they think jordan is guaranteed, near enough, to win, as those are pretty sure odds where they wont pay you a lot more than your original stake

10/11 is what is known as "odds on", and it means that you'd have to bet £11 to get £10 back. (Plus your stake = £21)

8/1 means that for every £1 you bet, you get £8 back. So if you bet £10 on a horse at odds of 8/1, then you'd come out with £90 (£80 profit plus your stake).

I'd take those odd myself. 10/11 aren't really that bad odds, you are effectively doubling your money. I wouldn't be suprised if if she goes to even shorter money later in the day.

Just checking on ladbrokes.com now, and gina g has gone out to 12/1, and scott-lee is second favourite at 5/2 stll and the other two are both 5/1.

Jordan is a whore with no acting , singing or dancing talent whatsoever. Her sole claim to fame is taking it up the arse far too many time in porn movies and doing enough drugs to tranquilise an entire Texas ranch of horses.

And dont get me started on Peter ****ing Andre ...... *shudder*

And ive still put £20 on her, because I have no faith whatsoever in the British public.

The whore will win. And my money will double. And ill hate her even more.

Re: There are some things in life that make you shudder
 
I don't see a problem with her being our entry, it's not like Eurovision is the epitome of high brow or anything.

Although she will be 8 months pregnant when the show airs :/

Re: There are some things in life that make you shudder
 
http://www.betfair.com/ have odds of 6/4 for her to win.

Belgy should represent us with his No 1 single 'I'm a pretty cynical bastard'.

Kurashima 5 Mar 2005 15:02

Re: There are some things in life that make you shudder
 
I think Cubass should represent us with

"The Ballad of Gordon Ross"
or
"Snow is 21 Everybody"

Marilyn Manson 5 Mar 2005 15:05

Re: There are some things in life that make you shudder
 
Cubass is foreign and unwashed tho isn't he?

Belgy is 'Best of British.'

Well, the French have refused to allow Belgy into the country after that unfortunate Eiffel Tower incident. So I suppose it's kinda apt.

That is pretty good, you'd be over doubling your money (e.g. £10 stake returns £25 @ 6/4) Doubling your money and more in a one horse race is not to be sniffed at. And as Kura says, we can put our faith in the great British public to do it's duty and vote that skanky whore the winner.

You can get 33/1 on Jordan winning it, and 4/1 on her withdrawing because of her pregnancy.

Whilst out shopping for Mothers Day, I saw a poster by Labour. It had pictures of Maggie Thatcher, subtext "3million jobless", next to her it had John Major, subtext "3 million jobless", and next to him, Michael Howard, subtext "?".

Oh how I laughed.

I'm beginning to feel that Marilyn Manson has an unwarranted fascination in me. It is slightly disconcerting.

Marilyn Manson 5 Mar 2005 15:16

Re: There are some things in life that make you shudder
 
It's not unwarranted when someone is as great as Belgy. :up:
