On the issue of livechat for score updates. Would be good to have the option to turn it off, the other week I was watching a game and they were chatting about a live score from another match that was a delayed telecast… I’m sure you understand the issue.

And yes, I did cover the side of my screen but thats not exactly the best option.

Hey Moiecoute,
Thanks for the thoughts. I think you make some really good points about the links to Gambling and the similarities.

Agreed with what you guys said right at the beginning of your podcast. It is a free services you provide for those people that love DT. If others want to pay for a service then they can go find a Telstra owned site.

As for all the angst and agro I myself think this comes down to two things. Newbies playing the game not doing their own research and getting burnt. But I do also think that people are taking this to seriously as it shows all the hallmarks of gambling addition, ie, irrational behavior, uncontrolled and random aggression, pleading for help etc etc.

This year DT has changed and become more of a high octane marketed money spinner. Through in the bookies who are looking to cash in.

Some thing to think about…………….

Anyhow thank you for the podcast from someone who is not going to gamble on DT and don’t go ape when there are injuries or I miss out on a good player.

I don’t think we’re in serious danger of that. Next week is a different matter, though.

You do realise Mont, we are setting ourselves up for a huge fall if one of us gets done in the eliminator this week!
