IIRC you've given out plenty of times for people after timing on here but lately you're the only one doing it. Give it over, it's rather gay! Posting up a bet and then one of them lose so you decide that you didn't even place the bet :rolleyes:Quote:

Stop being a drama queen.
Its not that big a deal but its not the done thing, so try not do it
It's just a little hypocritical on your part really. And your post above about not placing the bet in the end really portrays you as a mug.Quote:

It is a rule- aftertiming.Quote:

There's obviously an inconsistency in perceptions of the rules posted by Dodge, I'd suggest a discussion here about the rules to improve/clarify them.
Thanks,

in my opinion an aftertimer should be okay if backed up with an image of the slip or a screen dump. Ive taken to copying and pasting my confirmation email as the other options are a bit time consuming.
Would that be acceptable here?
I'd say that would be fair enough, as long as people don't do that exclusively.Quote:

I remember i asked for this rule to be changed before and got a hostile reaction from ......Sligoman :D.
As i stated then the betting forum is so small the odd afterbet within a post is fine if it becomes a problem or people are just posting aftertime bets then change it back.
For example if you post 4 bets and they loose then you come back and you post something like : Lost 200 euro on those 4 but i did have Cahill to score first as well so that got me 50 back.
I cant see a major problem with that. And its a big difference than just posting i won 500 euro 2 years ago.
But its easier just not ot post it at all. Why would you bother telling peopl about bets that are done already?
I think a certain common sense needs to come into it - not everyone is going to be on foot.ie all the time posting their bets up.
Often there will be moves on certain games (say Harps last night 1/2 out to 4/5 with PP) and I think it's fair to come back and say that "I saw a big drift on Harps and thought that 4/5 was too big so backed them just before kick-off"
Well it might add to the thinking behind the bet for example. I had lescott to score first for the last 4 weeks and its come off 3 times so im going for it again.Quote:
