GlobalDosh Fantasy League: What A Fantasy!
This is a warning to anyone who may be unfortunate to have come across the GlobalDosh Fantasy League competition, and probably contemplating joining the league with the intention of winning the feigned goodies. Beware!
I'm pointing this out because I've been there and experienced everything first hand. The entry fee is on the high side, but I was induced by some GD points which I was able to get in another bogus giveaway organised by them. For the January edition, my third attempt, which I could have won comfortably, the team ahead of me (Ikeja Rovers2) was awarded 62 controversial points which I pointed out to them. The points made the team to be 1 point ahead of my team. Below is a sample for Clichy, one of the player in team(Ikeja Rovers2):
Sorry for the poor quality, I was trying to minize the screenshot in Photo paint. Clichy was credited 2 goals in the Arsenal - Bolton match (indicated by the "G" sign. And another 2 in the Aston Villa - Arsenal match which ended goalless, see the real report here: http://www.arsenal.com/match-menu/3150808/first-team/aston-villa-v-arsenal
The decision they came up with was that the January edition has been cancelled and that my entry money for that month would be refunded instead of declaring me the winner. The reason for this was that they claimed some volunteer managers assigned to input the scores was responsible. How illogical does that sound? How could you put a competitor in charge of scoring his fellow competitors. What absurdity!
If you ask me, I'd say the scoring was fixed by them. I mean with an etry fee of 30 Pounds Sterling, how many people would want to enter? So, not wanting to incur a loss, they had to lie.
If I had seen any post similar to this before I joined the fantasy football league by Globaldosh, I would have thought twice before putting close to N20,000 in it. So, I'm warning everyone to beware of those folks. There are only two options with them, you either lose or get a refund instead of winnings.
I'm pointing this out because I've been there and experienced everything first hand. The entry fee is on the high side, but I was induced by some GD points which I was able to get in another bogus giveaway organised by them.
