LMAO @ abacus.........too advanced, just use the ol' Timmy has 4 apples and gave 2 apples to Johnny who has no apples thing.

I tried that but the drive to the store for 23,000 apples got my wife upset. When I told her that I might need another 3 million or so, I heard her mumbling something about the sofa so I'm back to fingers and toes again.

Thanks for your advice, though. It just didn't work out, that's all.

This is a great idea you had. Really gets you thinking.

Really gets you thinking.

How so, unless you're the type to deliberate about the outcome of a coin toss or roll of a die? Using sporting events as random number generators is interesting/fun, but there's no real skill or strategy involved since each outcome is weighted appropriately.

What. Count on your hand and go with the best odds monkey.

It gives gambling a nice twist.

You had me frantically checking the start-time of the game, there. With the various time-zones in the States and the fact that Events are an hour out for me anyway, I thought maybe the game was already over.

A bold bet.

you have to learn the ropes
many come here thinking it's easy karma
it's not

6 x 5 = 30, Number 0 wins.

Solid advice. It's easy to make a slip setting up these events.

Regarding the Product Betting itself, I know very little about NBA but the idea of running real-world events as number generators is a solid tradition that 4ever tipped me off to the other day with his raffle. I think giving fair odds is a modern slant that the old numbers rackets didn't bother with.

On the bookie side of things, I just have to trust the numbers and odds and let the Event unfold. As a player, you have the chance to let your lucky number pull in some heavy Karma for a moderate outlay. It's more interesting than a simple 1 to 10 bet.

Pile-ons are a phenomenon I need to think about. If Lucky 7 had come in, I'd have been paying out over 400,000.
