    I see nothing wrong with GA+ doing it, our current GA team is full of people that we've basically never had a problem with. All this mistrust towards staff is a bit unfair honestly, if someone abuses something like this, they'd get demoted, the money would be taken away and they would be banned. If someone abused sportsbook it would also be noticed quickly as it's a high-profile sort of thing that many users check multiple times throughout the day. As someone that uses sportsbook a lot, this would be very useful, +1

    The reason that no matches have been added past few days is because of a sports book update which led to an issue or two. I'm waiting for the all clear from andrew before adding anything new - Sorry for missing some events!

    I believe that any staff supermod + should be able to do it, they were chosen to be staff for a reason so I don't think they would go and blow it. There's plenty of other things staff could do to abuse there powers so I don't see why them doing sportsbook is any different.

    I think it would be fine if a GA+ that actually knows stuff about sports betting should do it. Thats only if the website where the odds are taken from is released so users could check if its the same. Trust me, some people will check the odds for what they bet in.

    The staff disrespect sickens me. I have no problem with GA+ getting this power. I don't use sportsbook, but it sounds like people who do want more to bet on. As said before, people who abuse power get caught and banned. The way I see it, its the same with hackers. They abuse programs on the internet for their benefit and don't get nearly as much hate.

    After discussing with Andrew there will not be more people added to do sportsbook. The lack of events over the past few days was mainly due to a (since fixed) issue with the sportsbook. There are now many more events to bet on :)

    Thanks for the suggestion however this is denied.
