Great idea to donate this way, everyone agrees. But there are there are ways one can donate with out at the same time helping criminals. That would be the case if Crystal Palace won. If two wrongs don't make a right, does one wrong and a bigger right make a right in the end? And it is a joke to say "if you don't want them to win, just be the high bidder". Not everyone runs a casino or has 35K + to donate. So lets all find a way to donate and not support criminals, it is really not that hard to do.
I think some of these comments are coming out of a perspective that has been hanging around the messages boards a bit too much.
For one thing, Spearmaster stated that if you don't like who's bidding, then contact your favorite casino and have them bid - bear in mind there are a number that are waiting until the last day. Spear and I are making this available to casino operators, if you have another plan to drive a large amount of money from players or portal owners, then knock yourself out. But in this situation, to complain that you don't like who is standing up to the plate, go find a different batter. I'm concerned about knocking the ball out of the ball park - not so much on who's hitting the ball.
What are you talking about "If two wrongs don't make a right, does one wrong and a bigger right make a right in the end?" I don't follow your logic, sorry. Supporting criminals? Who is more of a criminal, players who defraud a casino and post fraudulant complaints in forums, or casino operators who shut these players down? That's a rhetorical question not to be persued or answered in this thread, but I will be glad to answer this in another.
Further, this auction is not about ebay and publicity, and I'm happy as hell it's not onebay since I am able to waive any seller or bidder costs. I am also able to weed out any fraudulant bids (there have been two already). This is
not about publicity. Everyone who needs to know about this auction, knows about it - and they know where to find it. And anyone who wants to act as a spectator and cheer their favorite team on knows what to do as well.
Some of you players can get busy too. Stop your whining and make yourself useful.

I agree.
