I didn't realize that copy-pasters go to this extent.

The user apriloni has been necro-posting quite a bit.

One of his posts stood out.

The odds might be rising because Messi might not be in the starting line.
If not that will suck for over on goals bets or for a half time win.

Is he injured? What's the reason he didn't start in final game? It's too rare he miss games for injuries but he missed a couple at the start of previous season. If he plays Argentina is the favorite, but I don't underestimate Chile and Alexis Sanchez. They are the last champion for a reason.
No. That is usually the reason why they rise all the sudden when something like that comes to known before a match starts.
But they are back to 1.83 so I am guessing those assumptions of an absence have been quelled.


A necro post in a gambling discussion? I thought this would be a copy-paste and sure enough Google agreed.
There was a post by jt byte in the same thread.
The original post is there in Google Cache and has been deleted.
My hypothesis - apriloni is an alt of jt byte and is deleting posts in 1 profile and posting it in the other.  Tongue

So does it mean that my hypothesis of users deleting their old posts and submitting them again got finally confirmed?

Bots are easily distinguished among members. Bots are 100% accurate, if you've seen too perfect posts about a certain topic, or too off-topic about that post, then that is easily perceptible. One example of this is if the topic is about Etherium mining and you've seen a post regarding other Altcoins. Then that would be easily distinguished.

I agree about completely off-topic posts

In fact, I caught a few copy-pasters myself because their posts were too out of place. But what do you mean by too perfect posts on a certain topic? I often check my recent posts for typos and grammar as well as correct them with the purpose of more smooth exposition (though I don't pretend that they are perfect, of course), and I've received positive feedback about their content and substance (both in private and public). Could you give an example of such a post, I'm really curious to see that
