forfeit and wager

[pig mad]

I understand why the forfeit is needed after i put the hard work in and drove 1000km to see another novice to have him not even drop in to say hello but dont really understand the need for a purse as i feel that will put $ in front of the dogs well being. Whats peoples thoughts on the subject? Id love to go against the best straight up but most wont see you unless theres money on the table i hate gambling and not that confident but dont want to be stuck with the cat fish cause i dont have dollars to give away...
