Ask or Answer.

I heard that after a snooker player won £150,000 for scoring a 147 he took out some insurance in case anyone else also scored a 147 thus taking a 50% share in the prize, this did happen.

How would he have done that? What amounts of money would it require? At what point would this action be a bad move?

I'm a bit confused, coz I thought the Met Office et al had really modern scientific equipment, but none of the weather forecasters ever seem to get it right.

Does anyone know of a forecasting website that is accurate?
