    Lol, did you even read the thread. People have wised up to these attempts to get the forum closed.

    Very amused by these trolls who don't even have the guts to post under their real username.

    Don't really understand what you mean by "know it better" so I'm not sure what point you're making?

    I would certainly like MSE to require people to be logged in to see posts but that's been discussed before & we've been told it's a non-starter.

    Thanks for pointing this out.

    When I see such selfishness as this - as I dont want to close the board, instead I thin the option would be to communicate how to do it safetly to as many people possible - if they're doing misinformtaion

    Hopefully though they will realise they're pushing the wrong buttons and stop playing such games.

    I agree that it's fair to allow as many people as possible to understand the concept of matched betting. However, given recent events at Tipico, I'm not touching any decent new offer that appears on MSE first because I don't want to lay at odds of 7.0+ on a £100 SNR and end up hundreds/thousands of pounds down because a bookie acts to protect their business.

    So, how do you keep the board safe enough for me to feel confident that I'm not going to lose money?

    The board exists to provide information as safely as possible. The risk assessment is yours to do. If you cannot decide when it's safe to cross the road, you don't do so. I never see you advocating hand holding when it comes to matched betting so why do you need the same reassurance from the site owner? :)

    ok, so we can discuss casino bagging on MSE then? There is a bit of risk involved but I'm sure we're all capable of "risk assessment".

    From one troll to another.;)

    So no-one has lost a lot more money than the available bonus in Betchance/Goldvictory/Tipico/Betafterbet etc etc?

    I have a good idea of the next one which is going under, but you are all still piling in chasing a few euros.

    Yawn. Unlike yourself I post under one username only. If you're scared to post as yourself then don't post.
