If its a dumb rule as you say, then we should change the rule.



The hundreds of other scammers and welchers would not have been so kind.

The real question is whether you would have paid 200fg if you lost. Being under no obligation to pay is a problem.


of course not rofl

its a joke to even think i'd offer 20:1 odds to anyone when the spread was 2 pts

much less some flaming newb who clearly has no idea how to bet

e: + i took this welcher tag a long time ago(cant even repay it due to the "welch")

not much sheriff could do if he deemed it a legit bet

.....the bet wasn't c'd and was obviously a complete troll. Why would he pay 200.

At the end of the day it's beginning bettors responsibilities to read the betting guide before posting.

It sucks if they get scammed... But if they decide to not use a med and/or not read the rules and get scammed on a technicality.... Then they have to learn their lesson the hard way.

The rules are fine and work perfectly well..

Or we could not have stupid counter-intuitive rules like I said, instead of expecting new users to know there are ridiculous rules written down in an old thread somewhere.

The rules are ridiculously simple. You that "xxx amount" confirmed. I quote your post and say confirmed back.

It's black and white, which is important...

If a new bettor doesn't read the rules that are laid out for them., that's their fault.

Yep its their fault they don't have mind reading powers to know there are dumb rules and that other people follow rules that don't make sense.
100% their fault.
Victim blaming at its finest.

Whether you think its reasonable or not to expect everyone to have those powers and to dig up lists from years ago that may or may not be valid, it does not mean we couldn't also take steps to remedy the problem.

Its very possible to make the rules easier and more conducive with common sense.
Just change the rules to simply require a confirmation, rather than the exact word 'confirmed' (or abbreviation)

"Common sense" leaves too many subjective situations.

The point of the rules are that a bet is black and white, it was either confirmed or it wasn't. There's 0 opinions or personal preferences or personal ideas of "common sense."

Edit: what you'll end up with is one guy "dude it was a bet" and the other guy "dude it wasn't." And then a huge problem because there's no black and white rules on what's a bet and what isn't.
