Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Al, I will happily offer to provide a drumbeat you will rarely be at odds with. Especially if the song's too quick as my arms get tired.

Bos, I'm jealous; you're having all the fun. I've been wanting to destroy something (in a good cause) for about a fortnight now - I feel this would be a perfect outlet for pent-up aggression. Can I borrow Mr. Kango when you've finished?

soul, why not get to bolton and give me a feckin' hand? lord knows i could do with one. breaking up the concrete isn't too bad. it's shifting and dumping it that's killing me :( i'm not even close to finishing so there's plenty of time to get your arse down here. i've even got some cold beers in the fridge. lordy lord do they taste good on a day like today !!!!!

Steady bos ,,drinking and demolition don't go together

LMAO - can't wait, Bos! Now, let me, see, does Ryanair fly to Bolton?

I'm sending up demolition girl .

I bet those boots don't comply with Health & Safety.

Oh they do soul ,it's so she can't climb the ladder too quickly ,we would'nt want that .

soul, ryanair fly to liverpool/manchester. what time do you land? still plenty concrete left.
ahhhh, jimmy, i would happily pay her the going rate for her services ;) due to health and safety regulations i would have to get my big, red helmet out, too.

On my way now, Bos. Having just had a successful foray into the world of binary betting, I've got the money to pay for my ticket.

What do you mean, it's dark already?

There's a light in the fridge, isn't there? Okay, tell you what, let's take care of the beers in the fridge and tomorrow, if I wake up, I can watch you do some more demolition.

Quite right Jimmy, a lot of nasty accidents in the workplace are caused by too much haste.

and you can explain all this binary betting time decay thingy while we have a beer. is binary betting the same as fixed odds trading?

Indeed - but in case I drink too much beer and start talking nonsense, there's a very good explanation on www.binarybetting.com (my shiny new broker!) or also www.igindex.co.uk

The difference between the sites as far as I can tell: binarybetting.com lets you pay 1 a point and is quite relaxed and cheerful; IG seems to be a lot more strict about various things and wants 5 a point. IG does have a big pdf document about all kinds of exciting bets, though, which is well worth a read.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post on the "Binary Betting" thread (alas there is no EPIC). Can't say I'll be able to answer them all, what with three hours' experience and all, but I'll have a go.

BB'ing is not the same as fixed-odds trading; BB'ing offers a lot more leverage and flexibility.

Visit This Page for an explanation of Fixed-Odds betting and a load of other useful links. The page is slightly chaotic, but should be of help when comparing the two types of bet.

soul, thanks for your reply, but i'll leave that for a while. i'm still learning about the wonderful world of fx. maybe next year. have a drink instead.

Just what the hot weather ordered, Bos, thanks! (burp).

BTW, in case you haven't seen and are still interested, this week's Shares Mag has an article on Binary betting.

PS - Bosley, that quote about low SP (you know the one I mean) ought to go into the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, or something. Not taking the mickey out of anybody - I genuinely think it's one of the funniest excuses I've read in a long time. LMAO here in Frankfurt. :o)

Bos. reading about the joy of FX?? Is that a spelling mistake???

Al, if you say it out loud, it's a speech impediment.

Actually FX speculation is the one thing with which I would not have a clue how to get started. I'd feel more confident betting on whether it's going to rain on my next birthday.

So, Bos, if you manage to unlock the secrets of successful FX trading and care to share them, I shall be hanging on your every word.
