Fair enough. But you accept now that it wasn't?

Just ignore him and his silly "football is fixed" conspiracies King. Anyone who responds in his OTT way isn't worth having a reasonable discussion with.

I don't have a reason to doubt all American betting is fixed because I know nothing about it and no-one else here calls him on it. But he's never been able to back up his ridiculous claims about Sheffield Weds/ United and he lost all my respect then. I don't beat a dead horse, so I dropped it when you did, but it seems he can't keep his obsession with fixing alone.

After he deleted a post in which he wrongly predicted the outcome of a game, and offered no explanation until I asked about it, I was even suspicious of his other predictions. However my brother (who follows American football) looked at them and said that the man knew what he was doing. Kudos to him for that at the very least.

Yep, history of deleting posts where he was wrong.

I think his predictions were correct, it was what actually happened that was wrong.

MLB

New York Mets-St.Louis Cardinals
The Mets are IMO a better team than the Cardinals.
In this particular case though, based on the fact that the best pitcher in baseball is taking the mount "Chris Carpenter" I'm gonna go with the St.Louis Cardinals on opening day. It pays 1,68

Bet on the Cardinals!

I just wasn't going to let the original, 'it's fixed' comment pass without calling on it out. He's basically said that he saw the news item and came to the conclusion independently about the Greece-Turkey game being fixed, which is very presumptuous, but I can see how someone might come to that conclusion if they're the kind of person who buys into these theories. To be honest W.HI.P, I don't think it's necessary for you to always look for these conspiracies where they don't really exist, but I guess that's your choice. It just seems to me that it's very unlikely that footballing authorities in Europe would do this, and even if they tried, so many people would be involved that it would quickly come out in the press. It might be more likely to happen elsewhere in the world. I really don't think that any violence that there could be between Greece and Turkey fans would actually lead to war, despite the tensions that there are. Turkey wants to be a part of the EU, its hardly going to attack a member state over a football match. Plus they're both members of NATO. Anyway, I hope there's no hard feelings between us, and I'll let you get back to the point of this thread, unless you want to discuss this some more.

Ok, thats funny.

But what I mean is, that through this particular thread i've got people that now have $200.000 who only started in week 1 of the NFL season with a $20 wager, so pointing at me when Chris Carpenter has a bad day is absurd.
It shows one of two things: Ignorance or motive.
Either one, its uncalled for.

I can very easily not continue with my predictions(Which just so happen to surpass the best of them that Yahoo have to offer).

This is a public forum
No one owns the threads (except UT of course)
There is such a thing as an ignore button and you are welcome to use it

I intend to right now because I don't want to feel responsible if you leave in a huff - if my bro says you give good betting advice I assume you do, and people here probably value that

Hey W.HI.P, you mentioned before you were trying to catch the eye of some employers in Vegas... if you ever get a job there, I assume you'll have to stop posting here, huh? Man, I wish I lived in Canada.

I made my comment as a Cardinals fan, as a bit of a joke.
