Sports Betting

Okay, I think less people bet on sporting events because it is boring, there is no real reason to do it. We have credits which we don't do anything with apart from the casino and betting on more events.

I took this concept from another forum.

Each member has their own win/loss record. You get wins by correctly voting on the winning team/player on the event. Conversely, you get losses for choosing the losing team. Now, credits are still used but it doesn't matter how much you bet on the event, a win/loss will still be counted.

This is where I think members will find it competitive enough to participate. Over the course of a week there should be enough events to bet on, that will total and a ranking table will be posted. I know it's so late in every sporting season but I think it can still work. So yeah, it's like the prediction leagues some of you set up with the Champions League and wrestling but the ranking in one big power ranking table.

The winner would get a banner like those who get Member of The Year.

Thoughts?

Sounds like an interesting idea. Could certainly give it a try and see how it goes. Have you got a link to the forum that uses it so we can get more of an idea of how they set it up?

The only problem I see is that we'd have to get rid of multiple betting and private betting, although that's hardly a big deal.

What are your ideas for prizes then? I think we should do this; the person who's on top of the rankings for the week is allowed to have bragging rights or some shit. Like changing the avatar/username/sig to anything they want it to be.

Well yeah - forum prizes are ideal, like Elite membership/username/other forum stuff.

Then there's stuff like £5 vouchers to use at places like Amazon if you can still buy them. Gives people an incentive to play I guess.

Top of the league gets to change the avatar/details/sig of the person who's bottom of the league for a week.
