The thread in question seems to have appeared because some people seem to think that the question 'was Madeleine abducted?' can be answered by resorting to some kind of probability calculation. in my opinion that is what is being ridiculed, not the abduction theory per se.

AFAIK I need no 'excuse' for starting a thread. My reason was that questions have been asked about these cards previously; like if they were some kind of door-opening device. It seems they were used to gain access to certain areas, such as the adult pool bar;

The bar is open exclusively to resort clients, and that control is made by means of a client card at the entrance to the bar.

Once inside, it could be used to buy food and drink and the bill would be paid at the end of the client's stay. Russell O'Brien touches on this, albeit not completely clearly;

All the meals were included in the booking as was a limited choice in drinks, if anything else was ordered there may have been a need to have made an additional payment.  I recall that orders may have been put onto a bar bill and paid at the end of the week.

The only people who think calculating the odds of Madeleine being abducted is in any way relevant  are those who are intent on ridiculing the theory, fact.  What does it matter what was put on the bar bill?  How is this relevant?
