Because 0.5 is what literally every betting site uses because it's the easiest to avoid any confusion, and since I saw the word "bet" here, I thought: "Well let's use the logical option" In the end it doesn't matter so much of course, the logical one (0.5) or the one that needs more text and thought ("at least this or that"), it's both the same .

Anyway it doesn't matter because the selection committee will "polish" all selected suggestions to avoid ambiguity as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some more, if there are not enough for us to have a good pool to choose from, I will have to make some myself. In particular we are lacking suggestions for the "Sporting rivalries and medals" category, and among sports for Athletics, Swimming and Cycling (Track and Road). I will allow an extra 10 suggestions for those who have already made some before. Hold your hats! Good that you reminded us, let's take some time to think of some good stuff .
