Celtic are an astonishing 1/200 to win the Premiership this season; 11 games into a 38 game competition. 1/200 isn’t betting odds, it’s a borrowing strategy. The bookies are borrowing money at 0.5% for six months, an annual rate of 1%. Try borrowing at better rates than that.
Investors get a 1% tax free savings rate, which is also competitive, although they don’t get access to their money for six months without significant penalty. If borrowing rates were higher, returns offered on Celtic would improve to attract more investors. The Scottish Premiership has jumped from being a sporting event to being an investment opportunity less volatile than gold or property.
The 10 point gap between Celtic and second placed Aberdeen is the same 10 points as between Aberdeen and bottom club Ross County. We are metaphorically in a different league than even our closest challengers.
Question is, how did Celtic become the Bank of England of football? It’s not just because they are financially responsible with appropriate oversights, this helps. More importantly, they have used their financial strength to fortify the competitive product on the park. Others have been in similar situations in previous decades without the oversight, which led to enormously entertaining failure.
It might look like Brendan Rodgers has achieved alchemy over a sleeping dinosaur, but he’s only part of the story, albeit an important part. Much of the groundwork was in place when he arrived. Nine of those who started the League Cup semi-final were at the club last season, they were just not nearly as effective.
Brendan’s building on rock solid foundations. That’s what you need to build generations of domination.

I`m more optimistic than that .
Trump bad words.
Clinton bad actions.
Trump , if he were to win , will ” switch to Statesman “

62 P to the dollar.
Brilliant rate of exchange. Totally unreflective of purchasing power.
And there will be many more fluctuations to come.
Virtually guaranteed as Brexit approaches.

One year ago it was 49 P.

Hi all. Like many others I am transfixed by this election. interesting choice for US citizens. Gulp!
Please see my latest offering from Down Under. Please enjoy.
My comments at the end re stress are not made tongue in cheek but reflect my view on what can be a serious issue for some people. It needs to be managed sensitively and well.

Ooooops.
Premature prestidigitation.
Your concern for the less fortunate is admirable.
Will you be organizing a bucket collection to help alleviate their suffering.

That is certainly an option for consideration.

Yep.
I used to speculate .
Might do again.
Always useful to have a few quid purchased when the price is right.
A.B.C. shows its true colours.

Evenin, my fellow Celtic Supporters…
This must have been asked and answered earlier today, (or yesterday) so apologies if it has.. But, has there ever been a player in the top league in Scotland or England that has gone off sick with stress under these circumstances??
I know many players are given compassionate leave for personal or family reasons, and players get into dispute with their Clubs.. but has there ever been anyone signed off sick by their own GP???
H H.
In the Skyfall lounge at the Mandalay bay, 2 more drinks and I might be able to see Sin city bhoys hoose. HH y’all.

Sounding like Trumpet might win, then again I don’t know who’s the worse.
Reckon Clinton would be the lesser of the two.
How do you castrate a hun?
Kick his sister in the mouth. ;))

Go for it , mate.

I see the Mexican peso has fallen 8.5 per cent.
Wall tax ?
BABASONICOS71 on 9TH NOVEMBER 2016 3:03 AM
Had to think about that one.
:-)
Woken up by toothache,
canny believe the Yanks hate Clinton that much that they will elect a rocket like Trump
MACJAY…
Glad you got it. ;))
A hillbillyboys gag.
GORDYBHOY…
Still early doors,too early to call.
As much as I don’t like Trump,Hillary scares me more.
Wish none of them was going to win but hey ho,what can we do.
Sympathies with regards your toothache bud,nightmare. :(
Babasonicos71,
cheers mucker,
as you say early to call,but incredible that this pair is the best America can come up with for President
Florida goes to Trump.
Walking in a Disney Wonderland
GG,
how are the American networks calling this,
are they as sure of a Trump win as the bookies are
Ok,bedtime.Sleep then wake up and find out what one of those two nutbars have won.
Here’s some Stanhope in the meantime
https://youtu.be/OuHVAm4m6iM
Enjoy.
G’night fholks.
STANHOPEFORPRESIDENTcsc
Gordybhoy
No one calling it yet.
Trump needs Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and or Pennsylvania which is a dead heat ATM
Everyone is stunned.
Bookies are making Trump heavy favourite.
NY times is projecting a Trump victory whereas this afternoon they had Clinton in a landslide.
Markets are falling 3% loss on futures.
Gold rising, Peso tumbling.
GG,
bookies here now have Trump a huge favourite,
was looking at New York Times website and they have Trump over 95% certain to win,
incredible given that you could get 4-1 Trump this morning,
feels like the Brexit vote all over again
And now a party political broadcast on behalf of the apolitical party.

Lady on Fox ( Sky Oz ) reckons its the result of sexism.
Just one of the reasons why the Trump message has resonated.
Identity politics.
ABC news are holding a wake.
Stefanopoulos is white to the gills.
..
Trump 1/50 On to be President $1.02
Clinton 12/1 or $13..
Sarah Pallin being Tipped as Vice President or in High Office.. omg..
001
President Trump…feckin scary !
We are all dooooomed !
I’ve been following this so called election closely, and it’s perfectly obvious to an eejit like me that overnight it is simply a PROTEST VOTE against the establishment and of course Clinton.
Like Brexit, you could have a monkey as a candidate against the establishment, and the people would vote for the monkey., rather than the same old ?
I myself have voted against the establishment on numerous occasions, so I am not averse to change, however this joker Trump is a nutter !
I predict riots, and again it wouldn’t surprise me if some other nutter decided to take Trump out ?………..and I don’t mean for dinner !
