    What you do, is win £35 on "7", then accidentally leave £5 on it for
    another spin. When that drops in, cash up and walk away. Worked for
    me. Once. By accident.

    As you still don't understand probability, why not write down the 37
    numbers,
    their colours and columns, and your profit if the ball hits that number?

    There are 10 numbers where you win £2,
    14 numbers where you win nothing,
    8 numbers where you lose £1,
    5 numbers where you lose £3.

    So on average in 37 plays you will lose £3,
    which is not expensive for a half hour's entertainment.

    I'm glad I'm not a gambler. It seems like bloody hard work for little
    or no gain.

    ITYF that, rather than admit he knows ****-all about probabilities,
    Rope has deserted this thread to go and winge down there V

  5. That's the one I recall. Not on the box though; there was a writeup on
    it somewhere.

    Indeed. The most money is to be made where the odds are estimates -
    stocks and shares, horses, that kind of thing. Of course if you come
    up against someone like Rope you reach for a pack of cards and beg him
    to play poker or vingt-et-un.

    Thick implies a moment of stupidity.

    Have you seen my car recently? (i.e. before it got impounded by the
    garage as too dangerous to drive?)

    I know where mine is. My little sister still has it. Her son's helping
    her restore it ready for his 16th in 2 years time.

    Fake layout innit - 17 blacks and 19 reds. 28 should be black, not
    red.

    Did you do that deliberately?

    They've got a job and a half on their hands. I owned it for a full
    year, numerous crashes and 15,000 miles, and little sis did **** all to
    maintain it in the 3 years she used it. Before I had it my elder
    sisters had done 12,000 miles on it between them, without it getting so
    much as a gearbox oil change or new piston rings. I gave it its first
    rebore after I seized it on my way from Leicester to Reading. It hasn't
    had one since and when last started it rattled like Auvache on a z-bed.
    Neglected doesn't even come close to describing it.

    About 2 years ago my dad found a cardboard box in his garage with my
    name on it, inside was the original pedal chain, the standard
    handlebars and a rack.

    Not bloody likely. Mine did about 45ish on the flat with the wind
    pushing and maybe 55 if ridden chin on tank down Wilstead hill on the
    A6. Mine wasn't a fast one, pretty average tbh.

    Strictly speaking, mine wasn't a Fizzy. It's one of the original Yamaha
    (sixteener special?) SS50 models in purple.

    They dropped the E from the end in 1977 when they brought out the M
    model, which was restricted to 30mph to comply with the new laws for
    mopeds. From then on we got a custom version and a few other odd
    looking things, none of which matched the original SS and Fizzy models
    for style.
