Regarding the new match engine. I can see they added a floor to the low bids. Will this stop flash crashes in players?
I was buying Ighalo for 0.95p while the sell queue was cleared out a couple of days ago, already sold back for a profit. I feel I could have got much better price if I could have set my own deal, free from the low limit.
Why has this been put in. To stop market manipulation by whale accounts working together, like in the old day. Or something else I'm missing?
Logging on for the first time this year is regular. 😀 working right now, but I'll try and find 5 minutes and do a lucky dip to get involved.
@Black-wolf He's good. Feel a little bad from him right now. My new house doesn't have fence all the way around right now and he can't be trusted to not sod off on his owe. He is used to a open back door all the time. I've got 2 10 meter tracking leads linked together and left him roam on that. If he comes back in on his owe I just take it off and shut the door.

Do we trust it really is @Misto or is it an FI stooge under the guise. Sent in to infiltrate our discussions and keep them rosey.
Does anyone have a question to ask that would prove its the real Misto?
It's really me. Do we still do match day/banter threads?
@Dan-w said in Catch me up.:
@Westy what prizes did @Misto provide to the winner of @Advinculas-Index competition.? Also, who was he pictured on stage with on the photo that was uploaded.. Oh yeah @Ericali I'm the tainted winner of this season's competition, even closer to winning it outright than the Scouse!😂 check out my 🌟 next to the master thread info bit below!⬇ 😁
Sir Geoff Hurst sign shirt and the photo was me with Hurst.

Welcome back @Misto
Cheers mate, need to get my port value back up, just under 10k right now and not added in a good while. Took loads out for the house.
@MrWh1te said in Catch me up.:
Welcome back Misto, good to see you again
Good to hear from you again. :)
@Tom7471 said in Catch me up.:
Welcome back :-)
Cheers mate.
@Hotspur said in Catch me up.:
The quality of the forum has deteriorated since your sabbatical. Your return is good news for the forum.
Good to be back. There was a talk when @Noirx4 and myself had a conference call with FI Towers about the forum. User admin was talked about, but guess nothing has happened with regards to a active admin.
@JonesyFI-WH said in Catch me up.:
I have no idea who you are @Misto but judging by how nicely you've been welcomed back by everyone I am also glad you are back on the forum ;)
Thanks pal.
@Yellow said in Catch me up.:
M! I! S! T! O! 🕺
Yeah it didn't work out...although I notice Osimhen has had a few easy MB wins and I'll be straight back on him if strong links to the Prem materialise.
Where have you been?
Hi Mate, Long story short. Nan was ill and died. Went to America then The Bahamas the day after(good/bad timing), got trapped by Hurricane Dorain, then noped out of there to Mexico, then down to Central America. Got really drunk and cracked my head open and had to pay just over £1000 for stitches at sea. So I was off the forum for a good few months after all of that. Then I started on my refurb house plan and was getting one house ready for rent, while buying the other. So spare time has been a real premium for me. Things are starting to died down now, apart from work is mental at the moment.
@Tom7471 said in Catch me up.:
@Misto how did the house flipping go? Me and my girlfriend want to give it a go at some point.
Pretty good. I'm happy with what I've got done so far. Will need to see how the market reacts to Covid and the recession that is coming. I can sit on it anyway as i'm living in the house i'm doing the refurb on. Got way move do that I thought in 6 weeks because I was on furlong for 5 weeks, but I've also spent a lot more than I was planning in a month because I had so much free time to work on the house. I gutted the place first and have fitted 1 bathroom and 1 en-suite. Replaced the radiators with underfloor heating, new flooring down, all lights changed to spots or feature lights. Some walls moved around to make better use of the space. New kitchen almost fitted. I've moved on to the garden for now because of the nice weather. Pre covid I was hoping for a £50-60k return. Even if it's say 40k I would still be happy for the work I've done. I just need to get back to a single property within 3 years, because I can claim back the second home stamp duty I've paid. All in all. I'm not at the end of this road yet, so I can say how well it has gone, start to finish. Also if I wasn't living in it, so having it act as a home and investment. I would be a little more worried with what is going on.
@Sav2000 said in Catch me up.:
@Misto it appears welcome back is in order; I arrived after you left but I’ve only heard good things about you.
Your pinned thread was very useful, so thanks for that.
The forum is a strange place currently a mix of egos and opinions but generally most of the guys and girls here are a decent bunch.
Just hope @janner73 comes back again.
Glad you found the thread useful. It will need updating I'm sure, but i'll sort that out with the help of some of the other old heads.
@Ericali I'll whatapp you, what I was thinking and you'll see why I went funny. oh no you can't do that.
Need to sort a prize then. I did have a idea for @Ericali but it was in really bad taste, so I'll keep thinking.
@Londoner So it would have been a good idea to get involved when the only way to buy player was off their kickstarter page. oh well.
@Yellow you still about? Remember all the work we put into MB and the AFINN system around "victor" didn't really work out. Still hold about 1000 shares, should have sold at £1, but still in profit on him.
@Westy Not spoken to FI Dan in about a year, the last message I had FI related was FIG asking if i wanted to come on the POD about 6 months ago. Not sure I'd be much use now. lol
Hope we get a September Birthday bonus this year, should be when i'm selling a house I got to flip. Saw we didn't get a Adam Cole Birthday bonus in April, but that could be because of Covid.
@Advinculas-Index You still doing the league and last champ I remember is @Keegans-Bluff.
@Londoner @Dan-w Without getting to much into it. I guess Footstock are still trading then. I remember when it launched. News and talk for about 4 weeks then most seem to forget about it. Has it has a resurgence or just been ticking along in the background getting bigger?
