Attention - You just have to make this Post of the Day

Peyton Manning

...No no, Im not thanks whoring for myself and I don't want anyone to thank this post, but rather something highly amusing that has just gone done over in the gambling forum that deserves recognition.

Now I don't always agree with moderators on this site - I have a list of infractions to prove it. But credit where credit is due, Gambling forum mod x_PyRo went beyond the call of duty in investigating a questionable poster and has come up with the goods.

I'll link the post in question after this quick summary:

Basically, a poster by the name of coughlan06 who later re-regged as Bumsex (yes, giggle away) because, in his story, "a bank he wanted to get a loan off of found out his username and that he therefore gambled and thus wouldn't get the loan". This poster kept a log of all his bets, and was insanely profitable - far more than anyone else on this site. But there was always little niggling doubt - he would post up his tips just minutes before events started, would often aftertime (i.e. post a winning bet only after it had won) and had deleted some bets that ended up losing before people saw them. But despite all that, he was providing screenshots of his betting account showing his thousands in profit.

Step forward a young gunslinger by the name of PyRo who loves just two things: chewing gum, and upholding the law.....and he was all out of gum! He noticed that coughlan's screenshots were linked to a photobucket account, and when he went investigating, he found some unusual screenshots with random numbers on the screen, and columns of figures that didn't add up. Long story short, coughlan had been taking screenshots of losing bets and very small winning bets, and turning them into massive winning bets with the aid of photoshop or MS paint or one of those contraptions. Poor old coughlan was going out of his way to impress strangers on the internet (don't feel sorry for him, he duped a lot of people and whenever anyone would question him he would resort to abuse and sarcasm. A lot of people put their own money on the line taking his tips.)

Here is the banning post in question which is just full of win, and I would urge you all to show your appreciation and thank it, for PyRo has gone beyond the call of duty showing Jessica Fletcher-esque detective skills to ensure that the good guys always win!

I don't have a clue about betting or odds etc., but I thanked because I like the idea of a moderator acting as Jessica Flecher. :pac:

A fella that we all knew was lying about his bets for a long time was finally exposed in brilliant fashion. Pretending to be a high roller when his stakes were probably less than what the average smoker spends in a day.

What is this I don't even?

What he said. Leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth to link to another boards forum to expose someone...
