Fill your boots if you can wait over 12 months to collect

Luxbet

Yes 5.50
No 1.13

Which events is he doing?

I think he can, and it's tempting to back yes, but will he beat Phelps?

after all, he was one hell of a freak athlete...but is he still one?

Yes.

Freak athletes don't change. They remain freak.

Though I think Thorpey should be more focused on coming out of the closet than on a swimming comeback.

You both are missing the point of this thread and the odds I have posted

It's a ridiculous market and only a fool would bet on it?

I'll just wait for Battler. I know he is an accountant

I think old mate Rod is talking about the huge price differences in the 3 different markets

Yeah, I see that now. Like I say, I've been blinded by Julia ever since you boys got me excited about her in that other thread

Nah, that is a big difference though. $5.50 compared to $1.85

Clearly Luxbet have the balls to think with their head and not follow other markets.

careful read the fine print, some are for individual events only some are for any including team relays

Good point Darren. Ignore the luxbet odds then as that is for the individual event only. Sportsbet and Centrebet offering for both individual and relays

Financial Adviser

Don't ever call me that 'A' word again

But yes, with those odds you could print money  

not to sure about that one fella.

I know very little about swimming but if you didn't catch Susie O'Neil's interview with the ABC she said the following;

1) That the current world swimmers are swimming faster than Thorpe's fastest time.
2) That he would struggle and probably be unlikely to be selected for any individual events even if he qualified.
3) That he would more likely be included and be more value in the relay team.
4) That he was very badly out of shape and might not be able to be in shape in time.
5) That she said the same things about Huegil but got it wrong.

What's the difference?

12months is a long time...

better odds than that term deposit though...

 

One deals with accruals in fantasy land.

 

The other deals with money

I heard you love a good T account though

You should recruit Rostos. I reckon he would make a good financial planner.

"Don't put your money on these retards, they are corrupt."

I'been known to smash a good T account, yes

Seriously though, I deal wirth accountants everyday and cannot understand how half of these fucking retards ever graduated

 

Rostos would have seen Storm, Westpoint and Opes Prime a mile away
