    Just trying to figure it out

    ok, with the odds the Giants were, 23/20

    if you had put 20euro on them you would receive 43 back, 20 your stake and 23 winnings if they win

    You would lose the 20 if they lost

    I have NO idea what's going on in this sport but it's very exciting!

    Go Giants! (and I already had decided that today, simply because when I was 17 I had a Giants tee shirt!! :p)

    Little or no break for quarters, half time in the Super Bowl will be about 30 minutes.

    Thanks.

    BTW the BBC guy estimated the game wouldn't be over til 3.30? At the rate it's going I'd have thought about 2am? :confused:

    at 23/20 you put on 20 to win 23.

    so you get back 43 including your 20 stake

    3 or there abouts is right. Gameclock will be slowed near halftime and the end of the game with the teams trying to conserve time and timeouts.

    I wonder whether Tom Brady did the "no nookie" thing before this match? I don't think so, and I imagine that being married to a supermodel has an effect on your testosterone levels ... :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Enjoyable so far, crazy to see a safety as the first score.

    Had Cruz as first TD scorer so happy with that but back the Pats overall. Need Brady to get the job done!

    Tom Brady is the highest paid player in the NFL.

    His most recent contract extension was $72 million over 4 years.

    For all their play domination i think the Giants need to put up another 10 points before half time to stand a good chance of winning. Time and time again this season the Pats have been slow out of the blocks but dominate the second half. Silly mistakes like that Bradshaw drop tend to get punished by Brady and co in the 4th quarter. If i were a Pats fan i'd be happy only being 9-3 down right now.

    I watched the game vs the 49ers and thought "that guy must have nerves of steel.". Had no idea he was Scottish.

    Eli Manning's extension was 6 years, $97.5 million. Brady's extension was worth more on a per year basis.

    Peyton would have been the highest paid, but I don't think his guaranteed money is as high as Brady's and considering he didnt play football this year, he wouldn't have reached any of his bonuses/incentives. Open for correction on that however.
