5x expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk) and BennyOnTheLoose (talk). Nominated by Lee Vilenski (talk) at 21:55, 9 May 2020 (UTC).
- Fivefold expansion began on 7 May; well referenced; Earwig's is clean. Both hooks are cited but AGF for ALT1 whose source is behind a paywall – in my opinion the original hook is much more interesting. QPQ is done. Minor nitpick, @Lee Vilenski: the article uses both "150/1" and "150–1". I'm not sure which one is more correct but they should probably be the same. :) 97198 (talk) 15:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

the odds against him were 150 to 1
? Would you mind doing some rewording? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
