I'm so happy, i can't believe i finally scored on the mob betting game, i guessed both the final result and the first goal scorer of the game. But when i entered my acount to see how many mobpoints i already had, it all keep in the same, like if i haven't won this prize. So i decided to see if anything could be wrong: My bet was: Result: 2 - 0 First goal Scorer: Xavi
And the correct result was Result: 2 - 0 First goal scorer: X. Alonso
Was there any possibility of BRM wating for me to put the name of the player exactly this way? No way, like in other games, for instance Portugal, i bet some wrote Ronaldo, others Cristiano, others C.Ronaldo, it's the same guy, just like in my case. If the result is already confirmed in the mob bet game, hope that Tony can take a look into my case and solve everything.
I think you had it wrong cause Xabi alonso is not Xavi so your first goalscorer wasn't right so it is not the same like in christiano and ronaldo. sorry man

Gosh man, can that be true? His name is with a "b" instead of a "v"? I always thought they called him "Xavi" for being Xavier, like a nickname! But i will be very upset if that is the reason why i'm not geting my bet validated. An ortographic mistake... Can you imagine when it were those swedish names, full of accents and strange things only them understand, they can't take something like that in a extreme serious way. What i mean is: if there was the possibility of confusion between two players just because of one wrong letter of the name, in that case i would understand that it couldn't be validated. A little mistake of one letter and there's no chance of someone don't understand the player who am i refering to, it has to be validated. All the other mobsters before Hiesy understood the player who i was refering to.
yeah i understand what you mean with ortographic mistake but the problem is that there is a player called Xavi and another one called Xabi alonso that are 2 different players so i could understand if they don't validate so you are wrong that their couldn't be a missunderstanding. If you don't know what i mean look at the spanish team there are two players one is called Xavi(Fc Barcelona) and the other is Xabi Alonso(Real madrid). (looked at wikipedia)

Right to do is put full name,lol. I always put full name and stricker . Anyway Xabi seldom make goal. Xavi more often. i wish you hit next time, this time almost and take a look their full name.
Oh what a bad luck! Sorry mate but nobody would believe that you wanted to mean Xabi Alonso instead of Xavi Hernandez because nobody would believe Xabi Alonso could score a goal!! I put 2-0 but I missed the player so I lost the chance of winning. I think some other mobster had already had the same problem. In any case, never I would have thought Xabi Alonso could be the scorer ( of both!! )

Thanks, now i understand why i can’t complain. If i wrote Xavi as the scorer and, in the team, there’s a player called Xabi and another called Xavi, so my bet was on Xavi, and BRM would have paid me if it was Xavi who had scored, but it was Xabi who didi t, not Xavi (now i’m sick after all this). The only thing that leaves me happy is that neither Xabi or Xavi will score against Portugal, it will only be the portuguese team scoring goals and passing to the final!!! Thanks for the clarification DaMessiah666, i hope you don’t get mad with me for giving all this support for the team of my country against yours. Remember what the Irish did when they were losing, they kept singing the national anthem even after the end of the game. Undoubtly, one of the best moments in this Euro!

You just need to cool Fakiry, we all do mistakes from time to time. I did one couplle of days ago when i was looking at the wrong chart and put scorer someone who didnt even play in the game while i guessed the right score.
His first name as i checked is Xabi and you put Xavi so you got it wrong. You even put his First name not his Last.

No problem. In fact, I'm not a follower of the national team but a FC Barcelona fan. Good luck with "your" team. "Mine" doesn't play until August
I usually want the national team to lose but, in this case, i wouldn't like to see the arrogant cr7 and the dirty pepe raising the eurocup. I hope you understand it
