forum.sports-pro.co.uk A discussion forum devoted to people who want to talk about sports and sports betting! People without a sense of humour need not apply!!
Yes indeed, big thank you to Dave, and also to Brett who dealt with the donation of my winnings! (Practically the only ones over Cheltenham, I have to say!)
Payment received by me from David_UK - top man for prompt payment (expected nothing else). _________________ One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him.
This is from all the Admin. If anyone wants to PM anyone of us feel free to do so.
Please don't post about non payers, this will result in a ban. We are not going to tolerate a repeat of last year. Anyone who made a match bet knew the risks, so sort it via pm`s or not at all. _________________ If at first you dont succeed..then skydiving isnt for you
I don't agree with your comments I think non payers should be named and shamed.
I did not take part in a match bet this year because of last years fiasco. I will continue not to do so if non payers are unknown to the majority of board members.
Why should I get involved with a "non payer" and let this person get away with dirty tricks again? (and potentially profit from what they are clearly viewing as a no risk bet).

Firstly, why stir the pot if you didnt have a match bet ? I made the Admins position quite clear and it is precisely because of last years fiasco we are taking this stance.
When this years match bet thread started, we talked about it on the Mods board. We decided we didnt want a repeat of last year, so we had two choices, let the thread run or delete it. We decided then to let it run, as you are all adults and should know the risk of not geting paid. We also decided we would not allow naming of non payers. We are sorry if that upsets any of you but the decision is final. _________________ If at first you dont succeed..then skydiving isnt for you
What you should have done Alan is make that statement on the match bet thread to start with, if that was the stance you were taking then its always best to be up front about it.
I also agree with jet, non payers should be named and shamed. Both Saint and myself got knocked last year by two people who posted reguarly only never to be seen again. Absolute amazing that someone would do that over a small amount of money. Both had a lot to say but no money to back it up.
I find yours and the admins approach on this occasion very cloak and dagger.
No cloak and dagger here David. Last year taught you all the risks. We didnt allow naming and shaming then and wont allow it now. Are you really saying its our fault for not pointing out you may not get paid ? _________________ If at first you dont succeed..then skydiving isnt for you
David - I totally see where you're coming from and I'm sorry you've lost out again. But we have to look at it for the forums point of view and another free-for all like last year won't do any good. I've re-read the threads. Loads of people chipping in who had nothing to do with the match-bets it's not something we should go through again.
We should have made ourselves clear at the beginning of the thread but thought after last year everyone taking part accepted the risk of non-payers.
Regarding Jet's point about getting into a match-bet with a non-payer without knowing it - it's unlikely to happen as I imagine the non-payer will have long gone by next Cheltenham but we'll keep an eye on it - as I'm sure you will. _________________ Cocktails may not be the answer.... but they help you forget the question Vodka...

No, not at all. I think naming and shaming someone with no integrity or any principles is a good idea.
In fact we did post last year about non payers.
By the way this thread was in the top 10 of the cheltenham festival for views, so it was a popular thread, and will always be if you of course allow it to be.

I have not lost out, I have been paid for all my bets. I was just making sure and certain everyone else had. See as I start the thread each year I do feel a little responsible.
