What's the point of a vouch? Glad to hear Pads knows what it means!
I might as well have just bought the entire £30k of action for myself then if i am on the hook for the downside but have no upside. I can't imagine how scummy you would have to be to demand a refund from someone who you asked for their advice free of charge so you can potentially gain financially from it. The vouch to the people who asked me was more for his ability to produce profits on the investment than whether the money was safe imo. I think most people assumed someone linked to BE and TFT to the level he was and his standing within the industry for his career going forward it was pretty unlikely he would risk all that to make £30k.

For the record I don't owe anybody any money.

@MtSpewmore I wouldn't normally try so hard, but didn't have another opportunity I could wait for. I wasn't ready to surrender what I WANTED SO MUCH, that easily, I couldn't guarantee a call with me staying stoic and relying on a flinch "top pair" calling reflex.

poor show by Red Armi and hope all involved get money back, I made a few quid betting some of his selections but must admit his stuff during World Cup left a poor taste in mouth.

I can't imagine how scummy you would have to be to demand a refund from someone who you asked for their advice free of charge so you can potentially gain financially from it. There's a huge difference between a vouch and an asked for opinion by a potential staker. If in a staking proposal someone says Barack Obama vouches for me, then Barack is on the hook. If there are no vouches in the proposal and I ask "As I don't know you, is there anyone I might know who can tell me about you" and he says "arbboy", then you wouldn't be on the hook for a penny. If using someone's name encourages stakers with that persons knowledge, that is a vouch IMO. That's how I understood the vouch system. But that must have changed sometime ago.

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 :-/ It really isn't the same thing at all

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

You realise what a tiny sample size the World Cup is Kmac? Same as the tennis at Wimbledon, which I saw you mention a couple of days ago. Nigel Seeley has run super hot the last 3 or 4 tournaments, it wasn't going to last forever. I think he's a really good judge and think he'll be profitable to follow long term. One tournament means nothing in the long run.

don't think arbboy should be responsible and even if it was agreed he was i wouldn't take it.
i asked him his opinion, he never wrote to me asking me to invest and stu never mentioned arbboy as a reference or a vouch. it would be such a shitty spot for me to ask him to now pay when it was me writing to him and he was taking time out. if anything i feel sorry for him that a friend did this etc.

This is true if he lost the money using it for what it was originally intended but aren't you saying he has basically grimmed you by using it for personal gain? In which case the vouch argument comes into play

Why would any sane person in the world ever vouch for anyone under those conditions? Doing a friend a favour. Probably because I would have the stake if my current roll allowed it, but I can't justify it at the moment As I said, there are maybe 5 people I would do this for. All of them 10000/1+ to grim anyone.
