I think this will cause problems and way too much work for you. People will be complaining non stop

ppl complain to him nonstop anyways lol. zab has a shitty but rewarding job on this site

How? I have nothing to do with it. It's fully automated.

The points will be in escrow and maybe the backer isn't happy with how the other person played or whatever. Then there is a huge argument about those points in escrow

speaking of fully automated...... Why hasn't the points exchange for carbon $$$ been automated?

Okay so how about this..

Instead of saying XX # of points. We make it like the loan shark.

Person A requests a stake of $5.00

The Backer (person b) says, yes I'll do it. But I want 600 points in escrow

Person A can accept (600 points goes to escrow) or decline (They dont get the stake)

After the stake is over, if all parties are happy Person A gets the points back


THoughts?

thats not a bad idea it gives the staker options

That would mean Carbon would have to do an upgrade.

Zab has to manually do those redemptions.. and you only wait a few hours at most? That's a LOT faster than most GPT sites.

Whenever there is money involved from the site I like human eyes to see it

honestly don't get this @ all. I think that the points in escrow 4 insurance purposes is not very well thought out. 1st, say someone stakes a player for $5 and requires a player to put up 600 points. 600 points in relation to a min cash is nothing. If a player plays and cashes in a $5 tournament, he/she will @ minimum get 10-15 $$$. So in reality, what good does it do to have 600 points as insurance.

You are correct, its nothing. However, it's something.......

Would you stake someone $5 and 0 points OR
Would you stake someone $5 and they put 1200 points?

You might be more inclined if you made them put up 1200 points in case they run off.

If you put of points for someone to stake you, do you lose them if you dont cash in the tourney?

[tommy62278]

is the cost gonna be 600 points per 1$? i mean if i decide to stake someone for an 11$ tourney do they put up 6600 points? thats gonna make it where stakes are gonna be minimal. gonna limit it to 11c bumblebees or 1.10 sngs n mtts
