Peter has just published a video on this infamous saga from back in 2007 where moneysavingexpert forumites spunked £1000s dutching all selections on a 1st goalscorer market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYX_v3cT9fg

I've always wanted to review the full MSE thread but it was deleted years ago. Today, spurred on by Peter's video, I finally tracked the whole thing down on WaybackMachine.

Some absolute gems in here, well worth reviewing for those who enjoy a touch of schadenfreude. :mrgreen:

Ironically, Scottie Scheffler has just withdrawn from the Houston Open, taking 20% of the market with him.

I did archive the thread when it happened because it was a classic, but I'm glad to see it's been preserved in some way.
