Suggestion for Jorge or Digger.....

The addition of the bookie thread has been great but is there a way to reward the bookies like 4Hung, Swole, and Slat???

Longterm bookies may need some extra karmic help over time to help keep the thread active. Just a thought. Ipods are cool but useless if the bookies get run out of business.

Slat is like Chrysler of the big three automakers. Government had to bail them out.

I agree though.

 

[gotmilk]

Slat learned his lesson.

What good is a bookie thread with the bookies dying off? 4Hung and Swole definitely deserve some big karma for their work during the year...Slat deserves a bonus even though he kills bets everytime he tries to pile on.

Slatbitching is a real word.

lol...you gotta love him though. He takes it all in stride.

Swole and 4ever are good guys too.

I agree, Goerge should be backing the big guns over there. Without them, close the bookie forum.

I agree, the bookies take on quite a bit of risk to provide these events as evidenced by some of the historic pile ons.

I actually suggest the bookies give odds that favor them a bit more, a .91 or .90 payout is standard in the real bookie world, but not all the normal rules/trends apply here. You get a lot less action which means less balance overall. There is also no way to offload action to get that balance which real life bookies do.

I'm getting wiped out over there
I even spent 20 on 30000 karma today to stay in the black
I could have spent that on quality porn

exactly and we are powerless when dealing with a pile on
I lost 250000 last monday night
after you guys roughed me up pretty good on sunday
there are some savvy gamblers over there

 

[hotzie]

the bookie need to get a cut of the total staked , id say around 8 % , tax free. they deserve it and they have earned it.

you got taken deep in those "big boy" limits you advertised last weekend

I say we (the bettors) forfeit the 100,000 thread and give it back to you

 

[hamstershaver]

i could write a book on my feelings about what should be done in there, but then again no one would give a shit about my opinion anyways

 

[HumorMe]

I gave 4ever some K to help him regain some footing over there.

They need to be able to specify a limit or to be able to close betting on an event.

 

[SoreArms]

just like a real bookie, they should be able to deny anyones participation on their event

 

[swole]

Exactly. Just like Hammy said, even I could write a book on what should be done in that forum.

But GS shouldn't give a shit. When a bookie goes broke, he is more likely to spend money on karma, just like 4everhung did. GS makes money on people busting, so why would he give a flying fuck to reward the bookies?

If his sole intention is to get the bookies and bad losers to purchase karma, then he shouldn't care. Otherwise, he should definitely listen and implement our ideas so turds like Lestat don't turn the bookie forum to wasted space. Actually, I'd rather e-die before seeing Lestat get the best of me.

 

[gotmilk]

Rewarding the bookies allows more betting threads.

More threads would make bettors want to buy more karma...unless they catch some of Slat's threads and they would have all the karma they need.

Grease the suppliers to keep demand up.

I did a 30K limit on monday night
MNF typically attracts more action and is balanced(like sunday night's game tonight)
additionally most of the people who bet over there have large karma holdings and they need the higher limits for it to be "exciting"

I was holding about 500000 before last sunday
it was just a bad run of fortunes for me

super cool of humorme to give 67000 today
it's really helped,and he only had about 180000
he hasn't requested it but if I get comfortable again I'll pay him back
