FFS can Paddy Power please not interfere with my future happiness!?

I’m not good at numbers; does this mean that they’re listing a Yes vote at 90% likelihood and a No vote at 16% likelihood?
Der
Correct. Odds of 1/10.
Implied probability = 1 / (10 + 1) = 1 / 11 = 9.090909091
Multiplied then by 100 to express as a implied probability percentage of 90.90909091%
So rounding it’s actually 91%
With a 16.66% for a no vote, again rounding would give 17%.

You got the right answer but multiplied by 10 not 100, easier to just use: (Numerator + demoninator)/(Numerator), presuming everyone knows .909 = 90.9%
Exactly. So much (warranted) talk about banning alcohol & tobacco advertising and the gambling industry gets a free pass. The lotto especially, literally wraps shops up in GAMBLE NOW stickers and signs. My days.
FFS. Anything to stir up some publicity…

Well 91% and 17%, nice 8% edge for them
Gay Provos – who knew?
Sure that’s who got the info off MI5.
Johnny Adare would approve
Pathetic attention seeking, gambling promoting, trolls.

Good point Cotton, hadn’t thought of the ads inside the shops before ! …so obvious too :)
What’s with all the neo-puritanism wafting about society these days? Your typical smug lefty is beginning to sound like a 1950’s parish priest.
Tonguing our Lar!
Hah!
And on one fell swoop the doors to the green closet were finally smashed open.
I bet they go commando !
I’ll get me coat and leave.
Could get oglaigh.
Ah hEireann leave it out!
The two lads walking arm(alite) in arm(alite)…..
Semtex marriage
Oooooh – good one, Hoop!
Oh Hoop ! :)
Gun on gun action – wahay!
Outrange, vented spleen, opinions, and so on, or maybe just build a bridge from your dreams and get the f*** over it.
Paddy Power would hop on any passing bandwagon. Their marketing giddies need to stop thinking they’re hot stuff with their wacky ideas.
That’s not a brand strategy. It’s the lack of one.
power to people to vote a big fat YES! :)
Gay Marriage for some, minature Rainbow flags for everyone else.
