    Won't a limit on how much you can bet solve this problem?

    Now you are talking sportsbetting.. and not sure I can do that
    "And Shepherds we shall be. For thee, my Lord, for thee.
    Power hath descended forth from Thy hand. Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
    So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
    In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."

    Semantics.. Not sure I COULD.. I have though about it.. And believe me, it's something I've been planning for.

    I have been talking to some EURO partners about some serious, serious upgrades to this site

    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.

    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.
