Which ever month we go back an hour because of daylight savings time... October? I think.

I wanted to place a £20 bet on a football match. The odds were 2-1. A freind of mine offered to predict the score of the match before it started for £5. He assured me that his predictions have been 100% accurate for the past five matches. Do you think I should take him up on the offer?

No. past experience is no indication of future results.

But I could also say that he will definately make a correct prediction this time too

And probability is speaking against him, too.

I'm not sure how bets work. If the favorite wins, how much do you get?

If its 2-1 then you get double your bet

by TheAssimilationist
No the other way.

Yes, you should take him up on the offer. The score before the game begins is always 0-0. He has no excuse for not being 100% accurate.

I dont understand what you mean by the other way
This is another one of those "read it carefully and you'll get it" riddles
