    It is very bad form to 'welch on a bet'.

    What are other people's views on this, for me it can lead to very bad feeling and the person who is welching should not place the bet in the first place.

    Agree totally.
    I hardly ever gamble and I've got a pretty low opinion of the gambling industry, but if you agree a bet with another individual, have the good grace to pay up if you lose.
    This is a general statement, with no reference to anything specific you may have had on your mind Elfs when you began this thread.

    One problem I have observed when people bet against each other, is that the losing party sometimes tries to use a technicality to avoid paying up. And since the circumstances of every bet are different, sometimes a technicality could be valid, while other times it's just an excuse.

    Do you have a specific bet in mind Elfs?

    Getting to the point, our moderator is looking to knock me over the Gillingham attendance on Tuesday.

    It's a rum do, that's for sure.

    Perhaps Vol feels shortchanged from your recent trip to deepest Lancashire. Perhaps if you pay the quid owing, he may just stump up the brekkie.

    Other than that, I can't really offer any tangible advice.

    Let me clear something up for the members.

    The welcher decided to buy two tickets, one for me and one for Chippy(who he'd never met before<doh>).

    I told the welcher NOT to buy me a ticket
    I told the welcher I will buy on the day
    The welcher was not even going to be travelling with me either. He wanted to travel on another train after he'd gone to the trouble of buying tickets HE WAS NOT ASKED TO BUY<doh>
    He would not even meet me for a drink before the game.

    The sequence is as follows -

    1. You pay me in full for your Accrington ticket

    2. I buy you a small breakfast with no side orders or drink.

    Assuming this is true, I have to agree with Elfs on this one.

    Whether it's buying somebody a train ticket or ripping up their front lawn and covering it with a badly laid driveway, it's not really on to ask the recipient of said ticket/driveway for the money if they did not actually ask you to do the work.

    The unanimous verdict over here is for you to pay, I'll do a deal in that you are obviously starving for the dough we can go to Wetherspoons and I'll settle for a wrap with coffee refill.
