redarmi Staking Issue: Sports betting

[sonour]

Tough being on this side of the fence eh arrboy?

Very helpful.

Thank you.

I received a pm from Arrboy- my post may have come across the wrong way. Obv I'm not happy at anyone getting grimmed. Just to clarify what I meant re the previous posts:

I'm referring to the betrayal of someone you trust than anything monetary.

I hope people get your money back but more importantly find some peace with Stu.

I have no particular beef with arrboy. I just thought he might now emphathise a little more with those of us who were in Blatch's corner even though it was clear to arrboy that he was on the take

Can't say I didn't laugh when I saw that arb (shrewdest guy ever by his own admission ) getting hooked like this

I genuinely hope those grimmed get their money back.

I am however surprised at supposed "successful gamblers" ever needing stakers if they are that good, regardless of "variance", or circumstance. Even if they are respected Forum members...

Admittedly, no help to those concerned, but a salutary lesson for everyone else.

Vouching people are 100% good for the money is a bad bet these days.

Think it's ok to be lighthearted here if these chaps lolz this sort of money around on a daily basis.

Even so some regular advice for pads, insane to share ur money out.

The ur was for RED-DOG!

This thread brings home just how tough it is to make a living at this game and how few people in life you can really trust.

I hope everything get sorted for you guys.

Yep, there is literally no upside to the voucher. And I presume arbboy isn't planning on paying peeps back if redarmi doesn't?

I hope everyone gets paid back eventually, I'm sure they will but it will be a long and tiresome process.

The problem with these threads is after the initial drama bomb is dropped it becomes full of after timers saying "why do successful gamblers need staking?" and "I would never trust a gambler with my money". Which don't help anyone or solve anything.

FWIW virtually every successul gambler I know has (or used to have) shareholders / stakers.

Hellmuth, Benham, Trickett, Dwan, Walters etc etc

You name them, It's 95%+ they are either currently or have previously been staked.

And stakers will have made bundles from the proposition.

Yep that's the problem with these popular threads on ghost town Blonde, everyone having their say! Nh. Haven't see so many names at the top of the page since skolsuper flipped his shit!

[DropTheHammer]

It will never cease to amaze me how much money people will trust others to gamble with.

Most of us have stakeholder pensions - it's the same thing but you're trusting the faceless fund managers with a lot more money. And they get their 1% per year whether they win/lose  :-/

Read them by all means, and decide not to stake the person in question.

But is saying "I told you so, or I would have if somebody had asked my opinion but nobody did unfortunately for them" really necessary?

What does that achieve? Apart from pissing off the stakers even more?

And what ROI did people expect to get from their investment, 5%, 10% tops? Isn't that roughly what the best sports bettors achieve in the long-run? There are probably half-a-dozen investments I can think of where you have no chance of being grimmed and a helluva higher upside for your dough.

I imagine they weren't doing it purely for profit or to maximise ROI.

People have made a lot of money from Redarmi's advice on TFT. They were giving something back.

Asking if vouching is pointless could achieve interesting debate??
