Proposal: What’s Past is Prologue

Reached Quorum 5-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the rule “The Gamblers”, in the subrule “Betting”, replace the text “that has not yet occurred”, with this text:

in which the Bet was placed before the Sporting Event had occurred

 

Currently, the rule for Betting does not prohibit placing a Bet on a Sporting Event that has already occurred. And, since the wording for Cash all Bets does not state to do it only once after a Sporting Event has occurred, I believe I can call for Cash all Bets to be performed on it with my current Bet. Since I spotted the scam, I’d prefer to be the only Punter to be able to take advantage of it before it is fixed.

Kevan pointed out the rule that prevents this from happening, so instead I’ll fix the issue pointed out by Bucky.

It’s covered by Bets being defined as applying to “A single, specific Sporting Event (identified by the Sport and the date on which it will occur) that has not yet occurred”

That means all Bets are invalid by the time they’re cashed, though.

True. Wrong fix for the issue; I hope JD has time to edit.

I do, and I did. Let me know if that’s a reasonable fix.
