Coolhand - I was sleep on your request . I am hoping that Paulme will over time start to learn from other forum contributors in a more balanced and somewhat quieter manner.

He has quite clearly lost all respect on this forum and one would hope that he will turn a corner any minute now .....

Slow and steady Undern, as i said the other day i can see you becoming proud of your consistency and building a determination, which will help your discipline enormously, something every gambler suffers from at times, and something i think hindered your last challenge.  Whilst its not as exciting for us in the cheap seats, i find it good reading nevertheless and it serves as encouragement, even though i suspect i have a very different MO to you, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Is my thread back up

Someone deleted my response thread too gl anyhow, keep it up.

Okay so like I said last night had a very good day with only a small hit.

Trying my best to remain focused on a couple of markets rather than spread myself too heavily across all sorts of weird and wonderful markets ... but saying that I did put a small lay up in the Murray tennis match just taking place ....

Hope everyone has a good day betting.

Wahey. You're back in the thread business Undern!

Fantastic day again yesterday. Well done. Just try and keep it as dull as possible..

thanks freddie. Where are your nap lays for the Anyone fancy a lay thread ...

I am using a special BOT that does what I tell it to do and doesn't talk back ...

Yup. Protective gear and garlic now thrown away. Normality can return...

Undern, banning him was the only thing that would have worked, to be honest. A number of us have asked him many times (and in very forceful terms in the cases of some of us) to stop doing what he's been doing, and he's made it pretty clear that he'll do whatever he wants to. But the fact that he's been banned sends out the pretty clear message that he can't simply throw his weight around and get away with it.    He'll be back under a different name, but if he starts misbehaving again, hopefully the threat of getting banned once more will make him think more clearly - there're only so many new Betfair accounts he can open, surely..

Oh phooey.  Yeah, you can just open another account and start posting again without even needing to deposit...  Well, that sucks!

Well looking at Cooee's joining date ....What's the 'bet' Cooee is aka Paulme aka Paulol .

Hi Paulme - how are you doing ?

Then what is the point of a BAN?

No point it seems, Bobby. You shouldn't be able to register a new chatname until after you've linked some sort of credit card or other service to your account and deposited money. That way you would at least be restricted to only as many credit cards etc. as you own.

A more elegant solution would be to let the thread-starter maintain a blocked list for their thread. If somebody was being a pain, the thread-starter could simply block them from posting. That would help clean up long-term threads and would cut out a lot of the abuse that certain topics get subjected to.

Anyway, I'll stop filling Undern's thread with nonsense on this subject. We all know Paul will be back tonight, and I suspect he'll be twice as obnoxious as before. (Although if he does play up, I'm going to report the little git myself. Should keep me busy...)

Yep Undern, you're a one-off!!!

Speaking purely for myself Coolhand, you have nothing to apologise for. Your posts are far from voluminous, and they always seem fair and well-reasoned to me. If a certain person had read your posts rather than taking offense at them, he might well have found out a thing or two that helped him.

Anyway, for the last time, I'd better go now. The form for the UK racing awaits...

Pippolol, behave this time!!

Well don't talk to Pippo as though he's a different person, Undern.  You could really mess with his mind, doing that...

Yep. Nice to see BF are taking steps to prevent their rules from being flouted.

Nor me. Somebody must have reported him though.  Oh well. That really does seem to be that!   First my Herman Cain bet comes in on the Republican Nominee market, and now Paul vanquished. Plus I've had a decent afternoon on the UK racing. Happy days indeed!
