The bookies should get reimbursed. Now, I am pretty confident George is considering this. He is probably basing his decision on a few things.
One, are the bookies willing to purchase karma?
Well, I have twice, once because I was in red and the second time because I wanted to support the site. I alone will not keep George in business by purchasing karma. I leave that to him; if he wants to see this bookie room grow and bring even more traffic to EF, than he will give myself and 4everhung massive karma hits or karma at a discounted price.
Two, does the bookie forum bring enough traffic that reimbursing the bookies with bonus karma would be beneficial?
If he sees the same two people (myself and 4everhung) putting up daily events, George should take the liberty of hooking us up with majorly discounted karma or a big karma donation weekly. NFL is right around the corner, and I predict a HUGE jump in traffic within the bookie room.
Perhaps if we stop posting events he will be faced with an important decision.
