[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1097763, member: 58362"] I can work with fractional odds because they're the way you usually see prices quoted over here, but decimal odds make a whole lot more sense and are easier to think in. The really mad thing is the way the Americans express odds. Are you polarising this with the benefit of hindsight? I don't remember anyone other than a few of the French team giving them a hope against New Zealand, having enjoyed a kind draw to reach that point off the back of a wooden spoon in the last ever five nations. South Africa's team was also pretty so-so having only managed one tri-nations win (by a single point) on their way to a wooden spoon that year and represented the start of a slide that saw quite a few pretty torrid years for South African rugby. I can't imagine that the markets were too bullish about their chances going into the tournament. Thanks, that saves me a job that I really couldn't be bothered with tonight. [/QUOTE]
