£1000 going to charity, via KR for proof.

KR - send me address details with PM and I will send the bankers draft to you made out for your nom charity... you can then screen print on here.

As I'm sure most people will understand, I do not want to send my address details to random people on an internet forum. If it's the 2% you are worried about then I will happily add an extra £20 to my donation. Job done.

I'd encourage you to get it up there ASAP as it will inspire a few others to donate, and the longer you leave it the interest in the thread will die down and Cancer Research will get less money. Cheers.

What struck me immediately was also noted by Whippet I think..... Couldn't be bothered to get laptop from the car to lay off at 1.02, but did so immediately to post on the forum!! Jeez KR, you have some strange priorities.

Let me just clarify the laptop situation. I had been to a wedding the night before and didn't get back from the hotel until about 1pm. Had a few beers in the fridge and took the decision at that stage to have a few beers during the final round instead of betting on it. One very quick way to become a losing gambler is to lay off all your winning positions willy nilly. If you are going to touch the market then you need to be reasonably sober and concentrating. So at the time I thought it was a sensible decision to leave the laptop in the car and tbh, I can't even say I definitely would have laid off in hindsight. Maybe just the stake. Doubt I would have been able to clear off a million pounds' worth without destroying the price.

The reason I had the laptop at the end is once Scott bogeyed 17 a playoff looked likely so I would have been looking to lay some off prior to the playoff as it's a great neutral moment where you don't really need much brain power to work out the correct price. Even then I don't now how much I could have shifted without driving Scott's price up.

KR, do you have an iPad/iPhone? The former being great for instant access to betfair when needed.

If i had left my laptop off on Sunday would of won over £300 on Ernie, I didnt and lost £1100 (my own fault i know) but hindsight is a wonderful thing

Barz. I presume your 1k donation was fantasy. Still not seen anything

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 13:17

minty stop with the begging bowl you clown, I have made my position clear on your commission hunting/glory hunting set up.

My money will be given, and I know just how to prove it now KR has made his position clear.

Stop chasing me around begging, it's low class and totally pikesville.

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 13:21

Interesting thread.

You need to knock the basketball on the head KR

By:

wee eck When: 24 Jul 12 15:28

Barza, no confirmation that you have paid up yet.

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 15:32

Correct, so what do you want now? A medal?

By:

wee eck When: 24 Jul 12 17:38

Barza, appears out of his depth, will someone please throw him a lifebelt.

By:

Puggy4 When: 24 Jul 12 17:41

Wonder how many people would throw him a lifebelt.

By:

wee eck When: 24 Jul 12 17:51

If a 100 forumites sent him a tenner each do you think he would donate

the grand he got to charity or do you think he might play it up?

You must have started drinking again when he tee´d off on the 18th.

This isnt going very well...

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 18:28

Ok, if more than 10 of you think I should just debit card it to the website.... I'll do it... go

By:

Wallflower When: 24 Jul 12 18:28

Barza, if 1,000 quid is going to hurt you (you did say normally a giver of twenty), you are crazy to pay-up......regardless of the cause.

Should you have offered to pay? Nope.
Are you obliged to pay? I suppose you are
Will you lose some credibility here if you don't? I guess so

But enough is enough, pay 10,20,50,100, 200 or whatever is a reasonable donation for you.

These were very large sums and the forum has had it's fair share of fantasists and Walter Mittys, so I wasn't surprised you doubted Knight Rider's claims (deep down I'm sure KR isn't surprised there were some doubters

).

As I said donate something, whatever is reasonable for you, and learn your lesson - don't make calls you aren't comfortable paying.

Haven't all long-termers not had to learn that lesson - keep within comfort zone? (KR excluded

).

So give him a break.

Barza, you know it makes sense, keep your grand and take whatever slack comes you way; don't be hounded by people who are anonymous and you don't even know.

By:

Puggy4 When: 24 Jul 12 18:43

Wallflower.....he did say he would make a fullsome apology to Knight Rider (which costs nothing) if KR provided proof and even that has not been delivered.

By:

wee eck When: 24 Jul 12 18:46

Wallflower is spot on if a grand will slaughter you you cannot pay it

I will think you are an alright guy if you would donate a fifty. Best

of luck in the future.

By:

patrick starr When: 24 Jul 12 18:57

exactly what wallflower says imo barza

By:

u want some When: 24 Jul 12 19:00

no chance, he said a grand so a grand it should be. If he hasn't got the money come out and so say so i can laugh at you. All mouth before

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 19:14

no offence "u want some" but that is the absolute mutterings of a bona fide peasant.

take a bow

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 19:15

Also, I am waiting on all those that piped up to also add their respective donations... funny how that is all quiet... even the great KR has yet to weigh in

By:

wee eck When: 24 Jul 12 19:21

Barza, I think the deal was if you did they would, anyway as a

sign of goodwill why not just start with a deserved apology to KR.

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 19:26

What?

By:

p_r_e_m_i_e_r__f_a_n_t_a_s_y When: 24 Jul 12 19:29

You're coming across as a petulant little boy now. As Wallflower and others have said fair enough if you can't donate the amount you said but donate what you can or at least keep you're word of giving a proper apology to the OP (others who did not believe the OP have been man enough to apoligise). I don't see why you're stalling as it's not doing you any favours.

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 19:30

Ask me nicely

By:

wee eck When: 24 Jul 12 19:36

Barza you are a twot, feck off.

By:

Barzalona When: 24 Jul 12 19:37

how dare you

By:

Bayes. When: 24 Jul 12 19:38

My 200 will there around 10am in the morning. I said initially I would make it a grand if Barza donated a grand. I agree with the posts above and will make it a grand if Barza donates anything he considers reasonable.

Have to say I've found all of this nonsense quite entertaining. Just a real shame for KR that the bet didn't come in.
