Rating :5/5

Book Blurb: Caldecott Medalist and New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat for folktale fans. Jon Klassen's signature wry humor takes a turn for the ghostly in this thrilling retelling of a traditional Tyrolean folktale. In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit—with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author’s note—The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.

Also I’m obsessed with Superman and Robin (Dicks) friendship/father son relationship

Detective besties (also Robin stop being upside down you dramatic man)

The way Clark just lets his son Robin sit on his back like he’s a flying taxi service 😭

BATMAN OR SUPERMAN

Aka the man who adopted him or his dad’s mate?

No.

That’s his dad or his other dad.

ooh i have a question about betting odds actually because i never understood how you could have like 1:10 instead (bigger number on right) like. would that not mean you pay them money? why would anyone ever place a bet on odds like that?

great question! common source of confusion.

so with betting odds the first most important thing to remember is this: you always get your initial stake back if you win

the odds are then what you get back on top of that

if something is 10:1 that means for every £1 you bet, you will get £10 on top if it comes true. a £1 bet would therefore come back as £11 (your initial £1, + your £10 winnings)

if something is 1:10 then for every £10 you stake, you gain £1. so your hypothetical £1 stake comes back to you as £1.10. something 1:10 is so basically guaranteed to happen (there's a 90% chance it does, 10% chance it doesn't) that bookies aren't going to give you much of a prize for saying it will. similarly most people won't bother betting on it because getting an extra 10p simply isn't worth the effort it took to do it in the first place.

sometimes you get funky odds like 9:14 or 17:2 but they all work the same way. the left number is what money you get (on top of your initial stake) if you bet the number on the right. bet £14 and win? get an extra £9. bet £2 and win? get an extra £17

tldr odds 'the other way' don't mean you owe them money, it means your additional payout on top becomes fractional. 1:100 truly would not be worth it because you'd have to bet £100 to get a whole extra £1

#1:1 would be 'getting the amount you bet on top of your bet' #so £1 at 1:1 would come back to you as £2 #in this way it is possible to make a (small) profit on most outcomes by going to multiple bookies and betting the opposite way #as long as - in one direction - the payout would cover both bets with a lil profit #this is spread betting and some bookies will just let you do it directly but with worse odds so it's better to just do it manually #often not worth it though vis a vis the amount you'd profit after paying for both bets #my uncle was a bookie. he was also a conman and these facts are related
