    Perhaps Mr Robb would be happy to provide us with the maths; for if we are talking about an accumlulator the bet most certainly went down when Paul was wrong (in fact he was wrong on two occassions …see Wikipedia). I have looked at the historical odds vis a vis his predictions and I cannot for the life of me see where this figure of 14K has come from. Over to you Betfair!

    The headline is simply wrong; it requires a correction. The Betfair spokesperson either needs to come up with the numbers or else to post an apology? Is he not aware of his legal requirements vis a vis such posts?

    2. He will come from vacation later on.
