Gemmill 34461 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 How am I baffled knobjob? The only reason I can think for something like this is that they see the Steelers as such underdogs that they fully expect them to lose. In the meantime, they take £580 of lots of people's money and put it on deposit, picking up interest on the investment and returning the stake, but not the interest to the individual when the Steelers lose. The sooner they get people to put the bet on, the longer they have the cash for. Or something like that. 192865[/snapback] I could have told you that tbf. Seething. 192866[/snapback] You wouldn't have had a clue, legal bandit boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small print actually says that they will account for the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34461 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I can't even get on the site from work, knobsock! I don't need to read the small print to know you're talking shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Fair do's like, I lied about the small print. But everything else is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Ahem, there is also the little matter of the US Congress attempting to shut down all of these sites. What better way to cover your arse than take a pile of serious cash of millions of punters way in advance and then if/when the law is passed or you get shut down theres plenty in the coffers.

Walliver 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 So what's everyone else doing with their £500 ? (Or £527.27). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2226 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 So what's everyone else doing with their £500 ? (Or £527.27). 195057[/snapback] I'm not fortunate enought to have a spare £500 lying around... but if I did I think I'd keep it in a safe place rather than risk it on something that sounds extremely dodgy.
