Creating a suspension which is <em><strong>outside</strong></em> of the information about <strong>T</strong>imeliness given to punters <em><strong>before</strong></em> they bet or lay is tantamount to cheating those punters out of their expectations...... and usually a lot more besides. It is <em><strong>crucial</strong></em> that punters know in advance of ALL circumstances that will or even <em><strong>might</strong></em> prevent them trading into or out of their positions. Because a change in how things might happen ( with respect to <strong>T</strong>ime) undermines the very basis of all bets and lays struck!!!! Punters can "build in" against random, unpredictable vulnerabilities from breakdowns and the like, but when suspension is created at the whim of someone who CLEARLY doesn't understand the  ramifications of their ACTIONS, or WORSE, <strong>thinks they do, BUT DON'T</strong>!!!!!...... <strong>THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE</strong>!!!!! Do <strong>not</strong> interfere with <strong>T</strong>ime in a punting environment!!!!!! . About <strong>T</strong>ime all of you guys learned some respect where it's due, and spelled <strong>T</strong>ime with a capital "T". Complacency breeds contempt. Contempt earns tradegy. There are millions out there who know very well how to take advantage of suckers (individual or corporate) who don't give <strong>T</strong>ime its due status......especially the suckers who do it DESPITE advice to the contrary because they <em><strong>think</strong></em> they know better. .

Creating a suspension which is outside of the information about Timeliness given to punters before they bet or lay is tantamount to cheating those punters out of their expectations…… and usually a lot more besides.

Punters can “build in” against random, unpredictable vulnerabilities from breakdowns and the like, but when suspension is created at the whim of someone who CLEARLY doesn’t understand the  ramifications of their ACTIONS, or WORSE, thinks they do, BUT DON’T!!!!!……

THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!!
Do not interfere with Time in a punting environment!!!!!!

About Time all of you guys learned some respect where it’s due, and spelled Time with a capital “T”.
Complacency breeds contempt.
Contempt earns tradegy.
There are millions out there who know very well how to take advantage of suckers (individual or corporate) who don’t give Time its due status……especially the suckers who do it DESPITE advice to the contrary because they think they know better.
