Synopsis

Paul Ross goads two members of the public into betting imaginary money on a number of pre-filmed outcomes. Ozzie the bookmaker offered (unusually generous) odds on his blackboard for the various possibilities.

Strangely, an identical format called Stupid Punts went out on BBC3 a few years later. It's not known whether the format was resold or whether it's a "coincidence".

As L!ve's shows went, this was one of the better but less outrageous formats.
