Won't a limit on how much you can bet solve this problem?
I like the idea , just not too complex, afterall the points tend to change closer to game time .
Now you are talking sportsbetting.. and not sure I can do that
why can't you do that Zab?
its not whit money its whit points !
Lessen the problem, yeah but not solve it. Consider some people win big on the donkey bets, But thats ok because its basically a crapshoot and people usually just bet on themselves. But in sports there are alot of games where lets face it the winner barring a shock is already known.
It is in those games where even if everyone was limited to a small amount it could still result in a large payout.
Im not saying its a terrible idea or anything like that, Just it will result in zab taking on a lot of risk and i dunno if that is the best thing for the site.
lol risk there is where the money is
ill take the risk lol
The scamming thing shouldn't be a problem. To place a line and a maximum allowable bet, you must have the points to cover it, just like an offer in "loan shark" can't be made without the necessary points. Same with the better, he will not be able to accept the bet without the required points, which will be immediately deducted from his points and paid back double (minus 2%) if he is the bet winner.
I would also like to thank Zab for first making us internet poker players and then internet loan sharks. Internet bookies is the logical progression. Until I post about my next great upgrade idea-- the "Hitman" upgrade.
OOHH yeah make a 100 points?? its not easy !!
