I didn't make any bets with anyone. I made a comment along the lines of "I'd offer 30/1 odds of Dougie leaving, why on earth would he want to leave, etc.". Half a dozen people said they'd have some money on it, but as the thing was obviously posturing on my part, it was never followed up. I didn't accept money from anyone, I didn't say mention anything to do with betting at any point afterwards until Dougie had left and apparently I owed several people hundreds of pounds.
It's a bit like when people were saying on here that if Gus left they'd chew off their own cock or never post on NSC again. Would you have gone round collecting evidence from people had he joined Reading last week?
It was a pisstake, as you well know. Also, I kept posting as Seaside until my account was suspended for some infraction or other. Nothing to do with the "bet" whatsoever.
The prosecution has no further questions.
Even posters on BBS reckon you should have paid up after the thread was posted on there.
