Guys..sincere  apologies but there has been a breakdown of communication. Mark wants to be Gimlet so just forget the Norgay business.

Ffs it just gets better and better! 

Norgay is an anagram of 'An orgy'. Probably wise.

Is Mark related to Brother Dar?

I think this saga might be suitable for RT's Indian TV.

Did the first fence he came across look too much like hard work and cause him to decide against it?

(See what I did there? Literature gag - Boom!)

The racing thread is getting very dodgy.

Bonce, please could you explain something to a non gambling idiot. 

You bet £1 on a horse that wins at 6/1.

You get your £6 winnings plus your quid back which makes a total of £7. That's how it works with the bookies is it not? 

So, that being said, where does a profit of £7.50 come from? 

I'm sure you are correct and obviously know what you're on about here being a gambling man yourself, just looking for some clarification.

£1 ew on a 6/1 = £7 for the win + £2.50 place money. Total £9.50

Take away your original stake of £2,and you have your profit,£7.50

Gets messy when you get prices like 85/40.
