$1.04 is a bit exact isn't it ?

how would you collect the bet ? After all its $1.06 today does that mean you have a losing bet? Or can you collect on the exact day it reaches $1.04 and what happens if thats during the night when the bookies are shut , can you claim even though its gone up and you have not stated the day the pound will reach this low level..?

Lots of ifs and buts on this bet

Image result for why did russia shoot down malaysian airline
 
Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July 2014, by what has been determined to be a Russian-made missile launcher fired by Russian-backed rebels. Relatives of the 298 people who died when Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was shot down have accused Russia of lying about its role in the incident.6 Sept 2021

Odds on Russia invading a country on its borders would never have been that high  - dont you remember when they poisoned zelinsky with novichok and shot down that passenger plane over ukraine and killed 280 passengers all the time blameing ukraine for it .

they have been building up a war chest for a while unfortunately

We are looking back a year to 29.9.21. In the <5 months timeframe involved before the invasion (maybe 12 months looked at by the bookmaker), i think the higher odds are quite realistic. Over a much longer timeframe, I would agree with you.
