No, starts December 1st, youā€™ve had almost everything else your own way.

No 5 is the obvious problem.

Both lads should PM their bets to the chosen moderator by, say, 2pm every Friday. @Rocko or whoever can then post the said bets up on the thread.

Would be unfair if they both fancy something and one of them is prevented from backing it. Goes against the whole betting concept.

I can create a sub-forum for each of them where only they have access. So one forum each. They can post away in there and then I can make those posts public over the weekend or something?

Maybe PMs are easier though.

Itā€™s not happening, kev will continue to squirm out of it coming up with every excuse and expects to be allowed to make every rule, he canā€™t dictate everything and Iā€™ve lost my patience, heā€™s a clown. In addition he simply wonā€™t pay as Iā€™ve done.

In normal circumstances you are of course correct but seen as this is a competition, first come first served is fair. Speed in making your selections is as much a factor in the ā€˜betting conceptā€™ as Iā€™m sure both players here are aware and will fully be mindful of.

Just playing devils advocate for a minute but the beaten party could turn around and say ā€œwell I couldnā€™t back what I fancied on numerous weeks etcā€ or ā€œhe backed x to win at 2pts when I would have backed them to win at 5pts.ā€

There should be no ambiguity or possible loopholes. Let them back what they want and at the end of it let the better tipster win.

About right TTK. His denial of position to @cluaindiuic and ā€œreasonsā€ therefore, merely confirm to me that he doesnā€™t/hasnā€™t the balls for the bet.
I gathered a small ā€œinferenceā€ into the credibility of the said @cluaindiuic that rankled with me, he being an alright sort.:clap:

I think kev will step up here

He wonā€™t.

PMā€™s have been sent between me him and Rocko, heā€™s a timewaster. My patience is up. Itā€™s over.

Give us the gist of the PMs

Kev will make this happen, I have full confidence

Nah, this is like the Trichet letters. Only full publication will sate us.

Rocko: hereā€™s my name and bank account number
Me: thanks Iā€™ve lodged 500
rocko: thatā€™s confirmed
kev: nothing
Kev some hours later: Iā€™m going to pay now rocko but only if all my conditions are met and no CLD otherwise itā€™s off
Me: Iā€™ve lost my patience itā€™s over

Irrelevant if he does now, Iā€™ve wasted enough time and effort here. Time of posting and time and effort of going to a couple of banks to make a transfer Iā€™ve made enough effort heā€™s made none. Itā€™s over.

Poor but o_O
