Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond 2020/21

[Per]

I watched all the goals against and have concluded that any evidence of Ingram throwing the game must be linked to the betting end. He sucked but it wasnt obvious enough to draw enough suspicion worthy of a public flogging like this

What really lost us the game was Hutchings whacking that guy in the nuts.
The guy had cross checked him shortly before that, so it was retalitory but genuinely stupid. Got him a match penalty.
Mora scored twice on the five minute power play. Five power play goals in total.

If it weren’t for the stupid penalties and embarassingly poor box play this would not have happened.

I don’t think the game was fixed, it was just really piss poor play and a young goalie way out of his depths.

[Per]

I certainly hope there was no game ficing, but we’ll see.

fixing.

Police are investigating... some of your best players are going to jail!



You should be ashamed of your avatar, as a mod I can substitute an avy of my choosing if you like.

Speaking of which....

[Strangelove]

As I said Per, as a mod I can change your avy anytime.

[Per]

I’m not betting on him

Pun intended.

But would you honour a bet?

Or would you even be willing to accept a bet to show that you’re not just full of shit?

Still waiting.

Okay good job, I was wondering.

Wait, I'm sorry, it's been a while.

What did you want to bet on again?

Or are you just trying to change the subject?

Per, were you born a gambling man?

Did you make money on your team's losses?

(don't worry, I won't tell the cops)

If Joe Biden is sworn in as president on Jan 20, I get to pick your avatar for the full year of 2021.
If instead Donald Trump is sworn in for a second term, you get to pick my avatar for the whole time up to the next US presidential election, an American civil war or a third world war, whichever comes first.

Or just concede that Joe Biden won. It’s not hard, and you’ll feel better afterwards.

Your choice.

Per, Trumpy-poo is definitely going to win... Trumpy-poo always wins!

But yeah, those aren't fair odds, Vegas is giving much better odds than that...

So, on the one hand you say he is certain to win, which means you would jump at getting 1:1 odds.

On the other hand you say that 4:1 odds aren’t good enough, which means you’re pretty sure he’s going to lose.

So, in conclusion, you’re either full of shit or a coward. Which is it?

Neither: I'm a non-idiot.

Non-idiots receive the proper odds when they bet

But you wouldn't know what non-idiots do, would ya Per?

Good news! Björklöven cleared of suspiscions!
https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article ... stigation/

Turns out it was a manual error. Someone at Bet365 flipped the odds in the Björklöven vs Mora game around, so the figures were reversed for the teams. Then, as all bookies use software to track what the other bookies are doing, the odds offered by other companies started moving in the wrong direction, leading to suspiscion that there was something nefarious going on. Björklöven were the hands on favourites to win, and despite taking a 3-0 lead, the odds offered to bet on them winning were rising... and then they fell apart and lost big time. Thus several betting companies stopped all betting on this game and froze payments pending investigation. But now it turns out there was no real criminal activity, just that their defence and goaltending was criminally bad.

Hopefully Kevin Poulin will be back in the crease tomorrow. They have still not lost a single game with him tending goal, except for the game when he was injured in the first period, so that one falls on his backup.

^Yeah, yeah, yeah...

They paid someone off!

LOCK THEM UP!!!

You know, I have asked you to suggest the terms of the bet, but you keep evading the question.

Because the truth is that you simply do not want to make this bet, on any terms, as you know for certain that you will lose.

Thus I can only interpret your answer as ”both”; you’re too much of a coward to take the bet and too full of shit to admit it.



But it’s OK. You can feel safe here. We still like you, despite your flaws.
