...a boy. All for the privilege of paying 99p . From answering just rwo questions! I just couldn't resist being ripped off like that- think they claim something like a 96% success rate but who knows! We shall hopefully find out at the scan next week...

OMFG!

I could be making a FORTUNE out of gullible people on eBay!

They will be hitting 50% by telling everybody they are having a boy - they get to keep half the money!

WendyWeber · 27/09/2007 15:45

YEs i know it's a con (especially as they actually tell you how they worked it out in the email) but what can I say, I'm gullible/ incredibly rich and was about to Paypal something else. Will look for link, hang on

They're not using that Chinese chart are they? Your age at/month of conception?

IF you go for COV's it will cost you 1p more than mine, clearly I got a bargain.
Yes, they asked for month of conception and age at conception but apparently it only works if you are between 18-45

So does that mean I might not actually be having a boy then . And to think I thought I had a 50% chance of having one too (Actually I do suspect it's a boy but how accurate are these suspicions? 50%?!)

If you multiply the two numbers together and it's an even answer it means it's a boy...apparently!

That Chinese chart is odd - there are 2 versions of it, one of them uses your Chinese age which is 9 months older than you really are (which is how they calculate age??) and the other is adjusted for Western ages.

Thing is how do you know which month you conceived in unless it's slap bang in the middle? If you conceived in one of those years where it goes boy girl boy girl it can't be accurate.

And, of course, it doesn't work for boy/girl twins, hence the disclaimer.

The charts are online, you don't need to pay.

According to my friend's information, the chinese predictor said she was having a girl, but she had a little boy 3 weeks ago

WendyWeber · 27/09/2007 15:57

Here's one that works it out but I will try to find an actual chart.

Someone please post a free link on ebay to stop people getting ripped off!

I do know which month I conceived in (earliest it could have been was 5th June) but I know it's just for fun . I'm not going to sue if this baby is a girl

Oh yes, I'm definitely not encouraging anyone to do it- please don't as I know it's a con!!!!!!! Find a freebie online! Seller says he has had 20 satisifed customers so far so that is 19.80- bargain

Chart

But you need your lunar age - approx 2 years older than your real age???

WendyWeber · 27/09/2007 16:04

This chart is completely different, even allowing for that lunar nonsense
