FM> Which reminds me, Bob. Have you worked out the odds? I got as

  I could kick myself!

  (FX: kicks himself - oww!)

  I left the sheet with the betting odds behind, and all I can remember 
of it is the first two lines. The differences in odds were just roundings,
though - they opffered about 75% of the true odds. You're not the only 
one who has trouble working out odds. Every time I work out lotto I get 
a different answer.

 FM> Oh, and don't forget the golden rule - don't drink & bet. I was

 FM> on one number (her age) was a fun way to spend that part of the
 FM> evening. We were up $250 at one stage... you know the rest. :-)

  Aaargh!

  I tell you what, Brenton inmpressed the hell out of me with his
ability to pick patterns. I'd like to see him try again - to see if it
was a fluke or what. After an hour he had it cold, and proceeded to 
back two numbers to get two pays out of three bets at 11/1!

Regards,
Bob
