I'll add to that last one to an all out germany win (what ever I have left afterwards but keeping the e$50 on the draw first)

ok, I was really confused as to what the hell was going on here as I didn't have you down for a draw on Germany. It turns out you edited your bet post, which is clearly disallowed. As this just wasted my time and to dissuade everyone else, you're forfeiting the bets made in that post. Killer, you did the same thing, so you as well (though it doesn't make a difference in your case.) I will post standings shortly with your current e$ totals, so you can make any bets on the last match from that pool.

Here is everyone's remaining cash going into the final match today. Not a lot of support for Australia out there... Will they beat the odds and disappoint everyone?

Traxata			160.2
Waterproofbob		136
Panda With Issues	60
Wol			57.3
Nanor			47.2
Tetsuo			3.7
Haven			0
killer			-50
thatbloke		-100

Trax, as discussed in the post above, I forfeited the bet I had down for you on the last match. You currently have no bets listed, so you'll need to make them before kickoff.

 

[waterproofbob]

All on Germany win.

 

[Ki!ler-Mk1]

Killer, you did the same thing, so you as well (though it doesn't make a difference in your case.)

I made my edit because i realised that assuming the debt would be paid out of any winnings i had made, then my first numbers would have been invalid. And, i did it 3 min after, it was to correct a mistake, not to change my bet perse.

Can i get a clarification on what happens when a person borrows 50(when they have 0, and no other standing bets) for a match and wins say 80 total, can they then bet 80 or 30? I've always had the impression that the 50 loan was avaliable at any time and not just when a player has zero.

Big_D thanks for running this, never before have i followed a world cup.

Don't edit bet posts for any reason. All bets are considered final, so be 100% sure of what you want before submitting the post. If you absolutely must clarify something, make a second post.

Loans are paid back as soon as possible. Once your budget hits 50, it is paid back. In that example you would have 30.

I didn't have a draw bet?

I posted that at 2AM (before your odds - even though they're the same odds as Williamhill)

The edit was also made at 2AM.

 

[BiG D]

You made your edit after I had already taken your bet of 100 on a Germany win. You changed the bet entirely. As such I wiped it.

Regardless of how things happened, the rules are quite clear.

 

[Traxata]

So did I have any bets at all? I'd have thought that everything on Germany to win would have still been okay, If not I'm all done.

If the edit was 2 minutes sooner, it wouldn't have even counted as an edit either.

 

[waterproofbob]

My feeling is that his hitting submit for 100 on Germany to win constitutes him getting a betting slip to that effect.

Obviously Trax fails for then trying to edit his bet but if the original bet was already taken, surely that bet should stand.

Or are we calling this spoiling his betting slip in which case, Trax stop throwing your money away .

 

[BiG D]

No. The e$100 was cleared, and I never had the draw bet recorded. The everything bet was based on the draw bet, so I ignored it. I explained this in the standings post.

If the edit had been two minutes sooner, I STILL would've had the original bet recorded. I'm not interested in arguing technicalities here.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T EDIT BET POSTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Does anyone need clarification on this?

 

[BiG D]

So no surprise in the final match of the day, Germany absolutely dominates and takes the win. Our standings after the third day of play:

Wol			312.30
Waterproofbob		204
Traxata			160.20
Panda With Issues	135
Tetsuo			78.70
Nanor			47.20
Haven			0
killer			-50
thatbloke		-100

 

[Panda with issues...]

Dragged myself back into the running. My second bet (Ghana Serbia draw) was looking solid til that bloody serbian handled in the area. I'd probably be near the top if it wasn't for that idiot.
