Re: Spoilers for Tuesday March 18th 2014 (S70 P48)
I'm very disappointmed with Nick!, the new champion is a dead ringer for Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, and Nick never mentioned it!

Re: I'm not easily shocked...................
What on earth is going on? only 374 quid for five correct tonight and a poxy 11,390 for five correct+bonus!
It seems like they have doubled the stakes and quartered the prizes!

Re: I'm not easily shocked...................
Jim B., It was actually the Feb 26th draw that I was referring to, the numbers were 3,10,11,24,25,35. The Jackpot wasn't won which makes the small amount of 572 quid won by the 192 players who got five correct, even more puzzling. Bookmakers Daily 49's numbers bet offers odds of anything up to 150,0...

Re: I'm not easily shocked...................
Apparently there's 10,000 people who do the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6, every draw,going by Conor's figures, they'll struggle to get their 2 quid back if they manage to get five correct!

I'm not easily shocked...................
I'm not easily shocked, but this shocked me to the core. Camelot paid out 572 quid for 5 correct numbers on Feb. 26th's Lotto draw. Which works out at odds of 285/1 for a 2 quid stake,so what? you might say. Well,do you know what the real odds of getting 5 correct numbers are? 1,000/1 wrong! 10,000/...

Re: Countdown Prize Money?
Not an addiction,Jack,just a keen interest!
Besides, we live in an age where it's now possible to bet on virtually anything,"Strictly" "X Factor" "Big Brother" "I'm a Celebrity..." "Dancing on Ice" etc, so why not "Countdown"?

Re: Countdown Prize Money?
Good points, both Marks. However, once the final 8 are known, how about getting a major Bookmaker involved, let them price up a whole range of markets (they could even print coupons!). For 7 consecutive days, we could have actual "day of recording" broadcasts. The cut off point for taking ...

Countdown Prize Money?
How about 500 per win, plus a 2,000 bonus for being an octochamp. Series Winner 40,000. Series Runner-Up 20,000. Beaten Semi-Finalists 10,000. Beaten Quarter-Finalists 5,000. There you go, 100,000 covers the "Championship" part of it. It could even be Sponsored. If not, it would hardly bre...

There's still time........................
After watching an old June 1977 TOTP clip on YouTube of Legs & Co's Lulu & Sue dancing to Van McCoys "The Shuffle", a rather mischievous thought came into my head, maybe a certain numbers whizz & her lexicographer friend could be persuaded to replicate the routine for late Marc...

Re: Generous odds on a female?
Funnily enough Jon, It's you who doesn't seem to know, that the word"Spoiler" can be used in an insulting context, although I now accept, that that's not what you were intending.

Actually Charlie, I think it's you, who's confused about the "the nature of causality", it was stated that ECONOMIST RELAPSING & MONASTERY are not valid words on "Touchy Words",I was merely pointing out the fact, that played ONLINE, they are allowable! Anyway,lifes too short....

Re: Generous odds on a female?
Sincere apologies to Jon Corby and the hundreds of thousands who read my earlier post, whose enjoyment of todays episode of Countdown has now been irreparably damaged, thanks to me inadvertently giving away the result,just 2 hours AFTER the programme was broadcast!.

Nice Welcome.
First of all, thank you very much for the nice welcome. As much as I'd love to challenge these "new guys" Conor and Innis and the rest of you for that matter, I'm afraid it won't be for a while, as I don't have a laptop or a PC at the moment. However a Playstation 4 is only days away when ...
