MODS/ADMIN: Ban newbiebynature from the bookie room

[swole]

newbiebynature is placing 1 karma point (yes, 1 single karma point) on all of my events, thus risking little to nothing in an effort to win the ipod nano contest.

This is not fair to the other participants.

I suggest we ban him immediately from the bookie room or at least from the contest itself.

I also suggest we make set a minimum karma wager to count toward the total events won. I suggest 500 karma points to be that minimum.

This needs to be addressed ASAP, as people like newbiebynature deserve to have their eyes gouged out with those little handles you poke into the ends of corn cobs.

 

[Cutiebaby]

i think it should be 100 minimum if you ask me..nothing against people but it is too easy doing 1,5,10 karmas!

 

[*MissFit*]

u guys keep close tabs on this stuff.. wohoo

 

[Judo Tom]

thats def a sneaky move

 

[HumorMe]

 

[hamstershaver]

george said in his pm that you could bet only 1 k pt
so PWNED

 

[hamstershaver]

also why is what he is doing not fair to other participants?

 

[foreigngirl]

I agree with swole

 

[newbiebynature]

also why is what he is doing not fair to other participants?

exactly...i dont want to lose 900,000k just so i LOSE and not get a ipod nano...if i lose the contest than i will only come out maybe 150 karma gone...but if u want to cry about it ill put 100 karma on each bet

 

[redguru]

also why is what he is doing not fair to other participants?

However does it count as a win if you bet on a favorite with a less than 1 point win? You only recoup what you bet, you don't round up 1 K point.

i doubt he wins anything if he wins the bet if its less than even odds

 

[newbiebynature]

u can keep my 1 fucking karma swole all i care about is the "W"

 

[nycgirl]

500 minimum for all bets???

There's a reason why AC has nickel slots and $5.00 black jack tables. All of us aren't high rollers.

 

[swole]

also why is what he is doing not fair to other participants?

Everyone else is risking up to the max of 10,000 karma hits, which only counts as 1 win if they're correct. I realize this is their fault, but why wouldn't George set a minimum? It's absolutely retarded that people are able to place 1 damn karma point on an event. Why even bother putting the fucking max to 10,000 when fags place 1 karma point on an event. 1. 1. one.

I can make a plat alter, use the 10 bucks off a single month's plat membership, start with the given 100 karma hits, and use one of these hits at a time to bet on events. I could win the ipod nano and sell it, therefore making a profit minus the orginal $1.97 I spent for my month's membership. Plus I could hit the alter with karma from my normal account, which is about 500 more bets I can place.

 

[sublime35]

yeah why the hell does it matter? with what hammy said, George put in the email that you could do that. I'm thinking of doing it too, maybe not just one, but I'm not going to bet a lot. If I want to do it to try to win the IPOD then so be it. it's up to the individual what they want to bet and no one else.

 

[hamstershaver]

i also find it amusing that you (a bookie who gets his account fattened by the gamblers) thinks the min bet should be upped to 500k pts, so that your coffers get even fuller

damn swole are you fuggin serious with this thread?

i have talked and talked to you and others about greed before, dont go down that road

 

[hamstershaver]

Everyone else is risking up to the max of 10,000 karma hits, which only counts as 1 win if they're correct.

those are also the same people that made those same type bets before this contest, they dont give a shit about the contest in the first place, they care about winning k, thats it

 

[swole]

500 minimum for all bets???

I totally understand, but this isn't the casino, and I'm not Indian. Mob perhaps, but not Indian. Plus I don't think 500 karma hits is that much.

Take into consideration winning even 1/2 of those wagers, which gives you many more opportunities to place a bet.

I think winning an ipod nano should require more risk on behalf of the participants, that's all.

I'm looking out for everyone else here. This is not an issue about me, it's about everyone who wants a fair shot at winning an ipod. I'm already out of this contest since I'm the one starting most of the events.

 

[Lestat]

George's announcement said 1 karma up to the max. So what he is doing is perfectly fine.

I'm betting 100 on events, I figured I might as well not waste anyone's time with 1.

 

[SoKlueles]

i like the betting 1k pt
since hammy jipped me on my other one

 

[swole]

those are also the same people that made those same type bets before this contest, they dont give a shit about the contest in the first place, they care about winning k, thats it

Again, I'm not being greedy. I'm just telling everyone they can either wager 1 karma point, or back me up by setting a minimum wager.

 

[Mikus]

I am not a bookie, and i think it's retarded too...shit, i don't even have that much k compared to you guys but i still bet atleast 500 k pts on an event if i can...kinda defeats the purpose of k betting any way...since you probably wouldn't win anything

 

[BileStew]

Dude, the chick in your Sig is outfuckinglyhotx12rageous!

Is she your Mom?

 

[tokebloke]

It's fucking internet karma and a goddamn IPOD. Get a fuggin life dude....or a woman.

I was doing the same. Although last night I bet 200 on one game, kept me from coming out ahead.

 

[swole]

Well up until this point, newbiebynature had a great scheme going for him, at the very least you should all be glad I made everyone aware of this.

 

[Lestat]

if you set a minimum wager it should not invalidate the bets already made.

 

[redguru]

Swole, you're the bookie, isn't there a minimum wager setting on the events? If you don't want people betting less than a certain amount, go ahead, yer the one doing it anyway.

 

[swole]

It's fucking internet karma and a goddamn IPOD. Get a fuggin life dude....or a woman.

This was for everyone's benefit, not mine.

But thanks for opening my eyes. I thought I could have had George mail me a tangible karma-like object at the push of a button. I'm definitely a pimply virgin too. Computer science major at that. I dress in Star Wars clothing as well.

 

[tokebloke]

Awww darn...I earned lifetime red from someone that couldn't even leave a name. Hope I can sleep tonight.

die you bastard

 

[chewyxrage]

what he's doing is the first thing I thought of doing, then realized I'm too lazy to keep it up for a month. I don't blame him at all

 

[Lestat]

die you bastard

who is that guy?

 

[swole]

Swole, you're the bookie, isn't there a minimum wager setting on the events? If you don't want people betting less than a certain amount, go ahead, yer the one doing it anyway.

Nah bro, no minimum wager. I'm already out of this contest, so it does not matter to me who wins. What matters to me is being able to give everyone a fair shot at the ipod. People are right, it's only internet karma. But, I'm making it my responsibility to make sure this contest goes along fairly and smoothly, since I enjoy taking pride in everything I do...even as an unimportant, pointless in the long run internet karma bookie on a fitness site.

how do you think its not fair? because he has a lot of k and is betting only 1pt?
what if someone had only 50k pts total and wanted to enter the contest but the min bet was 500k pts per game, now that imo is not fair
its not who can win the most k, its who can pick the most games right, i dont see why it matters how much is bet on each game during the contest

 

[newbiebynature]

what the hell does karma have to do with ipod nano? its about WINNING not karma...how are you looking out for other people? cuz i dont want to put 10,000 on each event? your looking out for yourself not others...im going to do what i have to do to win that ipod and if i dont win i dont want to kick myself in the ass because i lost so much k...if george makes a min bet than ill wager that min bet...peace

Then at the very least I made everyone aware of this new scheme. Although I'm really not sure if some of the 1 hit payouts will count toward a "win" in the contest.

C'mon.....u love me. Look at my karma, I'm da bomb! and I'd make a really good apple pie.

You make a valid and strong point; it's hard to argue against you.

If anything I made everyone aware of the 1 karma point you were placing. This way people who want to win the ipod don't waste 10,000 karma hits on one event.

 

[SoreArms]

while it is perfectly "legal" to bet 1 point (endorsed by GS on the e-mail) I do think it's lame and pussy-ish, if you will.

rofl he stole my idea

 

[Beachbum1546]

my only question, is being non-plat mean I can't be in the contest? If so that's lame and I have a good argument as to why but I'm not going to bother typing it out if I am still in the running. Btw, I won 9 times last night. All with 100k bets or higher.

 

[tokebloke]

at least you have your virginity

So why not ban Hammy for all of his alters that he used to crack the codes?

you mean when i forced your weakling pinhead into my lap with my massive muscles and your puney girlish physique couldnt resist my opressive strength?

[Spartacus]

I pointed that out
I don't know the tally system for W's
but if they're looking at karma won and then just scoring a W for everyone who wins some karma
he's sol
he could remedy this by betting 10 and still not jeopardize his million plus bankroll
personally I don't give a rat's ass

it's too late
lestat already leads with 12 wins
I was sort of suspect of his claim because, well that was pretty damn good for one day
but I verified it

swole and I will have the full slate of NCAA games up for this
and that's a lot of work
just posting them
and then following up with the settle
shit

so if you're gonna paly
100 is easy
it's not real money

 

[Spartacus]

I've had my account decimated by the gamblers
our regular crew is quite good

Agreed, 100 min for the contest George.

the idea of the contest is to attract newcomers to the forum
some may play the 1K point game
some may get hooked and play regular
it's an addictive thing
like porn
you want more

 

[Lestat]

I still think a 1 point bet is lame.. but oh well.

I really wasn't "calling" you on it
I just thought damn!
it was interesting running through your wagers
you went with the flow some
and sometimes you didn't
good work

yeah.. especially with the spreads.. i wish the games were straight up winner/loser with the payouts adjusted for the odds.

Oh man I would get raped with those odds...holy shit

Last weekend the Jags were 3:1 moneyline...and they only lost by 1 score.

And yes, my pockets get fatter by being a bookie, but it actually takes effort to list and settle those games daily. Plus you have to deal with rainouts, people bitching, etc.

hey man im not lame...

you're a good bro. just bet like 100 or something, not 1.. you have a ton of karma.. and if you bet well, you will win anyway!

 

[Spartacus]

I can do that too
swole has NFC games and NFC games at home
while I'm taking AFC
we may switch as I'm a long time Bengals fan and this is the year they win 10+ and go far in the post season

NFL is popular enough to warrent money lines along with standard spread lines

 

[Spartacus]

I still think a 1 point bet is lame.. but oh well.

I failed to mention earlier that the 1k wagers will have no chance of winning
simply because they don't know what the fuck they're doing
