New Betting Threads Posted here

[sheep go moo]

I personally think that this forum is too clogged up with crappy betting threads that will never work i.e.Lotteries

And that is why i have made this thread.

If everyone who wants to make a new betting thread comes in here and posts its name, general jist of the game, odds and anything else in particular about the game.

Then the people who are high rollers e.g. Poofbird, Angrypaul or just everyone decides whether it is worthy of a try in the betting forum.

If this works then i think that there will be less poop threads clogging up the forum.
(and if this doesnt work then this is one of those threads, sorry)

[PJ]

Brilliant idea ill join the jury

[sheep go moo]

ok but at the moment anyone can vote for a thread to stay, but if loads and loads come i may ask people to be a jury but i doubt it

[Fick]

Good idea. It's quite clear from my various posts that I think most of the threads in here are crap attempts to get rich quick.

[Dingbat]

Well, actually Peej, nobody wants betting shops ratified by you to be honest. AngryPaul and Poofbird would seem like the idea candidates.

I have to say, sheep go moo, I thought there would be another thread made by one of the 'superiors' along these lines, but at least someone made one.

I'm going to - you for all of this though, so that you don't get any rupies.

[sheep go moo]

i really need poofbird and ap to back this idea because they are the most respected people here and if they back this then the threads will be put in here
edit: watever4 ding im not bothered and thanks for the sig it is brilliant

[Zweee]

Im not so sure it will work. For the basic reason that: The crappy threads that are started in here are started by n00bs. N00bs dont tend to read stuckified or good threads first, they will think "oh look, a place i can get lots of monies" and will come in and start up a "NEW Forum Lottery!!!111" I dont think the people who start the crap threads will stop to think, and post in another thread first.
How about instead this part of the forum is moderated well and that person cheeses all the crap threads. Works in the other forums... why not here?

[sheep go moo]

it is because as put in the sports FAQ there will not be a mod and this isnt stuck so i think that pepole will look

[Zweee]

It wasnt said there wont be a mod, it was said that the mod wont be chosen by poopularity, if chosen. I still dont think noobs will read it, but.. time will tell.

[sheep go moo]

i am just hoping that noobs are getting clevererer

[AngryPaul]

This is a good idea in principal

Put the idea to a panel of forumites and that way ew can see if they have layed out and planned for this thread well adn if they have financial backing if needed.

However, and tis a shame, n00bs who look for a 'get rich quick scheme' wont actually be bothered about being given the thumbs up from us. We can see that they do not put much thought into their ideas :eek:

Repost from the badger thread:

In each race there will be 5 badgers, the 5 badgers will be randomly selected from the list of badgers (there will be 15 to start, but more can always be added). Each of the 5 badgers will be assigned a number so people can bet on them.

The maximum bet is 50 rupies and the minimum bet is 15 (this can be changed dependant on funds).

However, if you want to push luck a bit more to your side, you can always purchase one of our sneaky items. When an item is purchased by someone, everyone else who was betting on that badger or bets on that badger must pay 25% of the price of the item as well because it will benefit everyone (and they're lucky getting it cheap).

How are winnings sorted out you may ask. Like so:

If you have bought an item then 50% of the item's value will be added to what you bet (i.e. if you bet 10, bought something for 16 it would come out as 18). Then all the bets would be added up for each badger then each better will have a percentage worked out - this is the percentage of the bets on that badger which was made by them.

When a badger wins, the money is treated as a whole - say it came to 300 for this instance. The badger that won had odds of 1/1 so 300 comes back as 600. Then everyone who betted on that badger gets their percentage from the winnings e.g. if bob had 50%, tom had 25% and peter had 25% then bob would get 300 and tom and peter would each get 150.

The course is split into 4 different sections, Section 1 being at the start and Section 4 being at the end.

Here is the items list:

6 rupies - random bomb (2 points, - 1 point off a random badger)
10 rupies - specific bomb (2 points, - 1 point off a chosen badger)
14 rupies - golden bomb (4 points, - 1 point off badger with most points or 2nd most if you have most)
18 rupies - nitro (6 points)

These are the base prices, you then add the following modifier for each section:

Section 1: - 2 rupies (+ 0 points)
Section 2: + 2 rupies (+ 1 point)
Section 3: + 6 rupies (+ 2 points)
Section 4: + 10 rupies (+ 3 points)

So for example say you wanted to buy a specific bomb to be dropped on badger 4 in section 3 it will cost: 10 + 6 rupies = 16 rupies for you, then everyone else who bets on that badger pays an extra 4 rupies as well. When it comes to the total income you will get 50% of this added to how much you bet, say you bet 10 it will be as if you had betted: 50% of 16 = 8 + 10 = 18.Then the points added to the badgers base points would be: 2 + 2 = + 4 and - 1 for badger 4.

And finally here are the list of badgers:

Thunder Titan - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Dark Devil - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Fatty the wonder badger - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Pinkers - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Badger2k - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Nightmare Revealer - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Badger.com - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Blossom - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Sunshine of the day - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Demon - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Death by numbers - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Bob - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Henry - 1/1 (base points: 10)
Edward the second - 1/1 (base points: 10)
BadgerBadger - 1/1 (base points: 10)

When a badger comes 1st their odds increase, 2nd odds increase by not as much, 3rd don't change, 4th decrease, 5th decrease by more.

We could have it like this:

1st: 1/1 -> 1/3
2nd: 1/1 -> 1/2
3rd: 1/1 -> 1/1
4th: 1/1 -> 2/1
5th: 1/1 -> 3/1

And we could have it so odds can't drop below 5/1 and get go above 1/5 (though I haven't tested this bit yet).

So for an example the next race will involve the following randomly selected badgers:

1: Henry - 1/1 (base points: 10)
2: Sunshine of the day - 1/1 (base points: 10)
3: BadgerBadger - 1/1 (base points: 10)
4: Badger2k - 1/1 (base points: 10)
5: Fatty the wonder badger - 1/1 (base points: 10)

Then people would proceed to bet.

'What about these points?' I hear you ask. It works like so:

After betting the total extra points for each badger (and total points removed if someone's used a sneaky bomb) will be added to the badger's base points (which will change depending on the odds for that badger - a badger with odds 1/2 would have 11 base points, a badger with 1/3 would have 12, a badge with 2/1 would have 9, etc.)

Then the total points would be added up so we have a grand total of points, lets say it turned out like this:

Badger 1: 10 points
Badger 2: 8 points
Badger 3: 16 points
Badger 4: 15 points
Badger 5: 20 points

Total: 69 points

The badgers would then get assigned number(s) by their points, so in this case:

Badger 1: 0 - 9
Badger 2: 10 - 17
Badger 3: 18 - 33
Badger 4: 33 - 48
Badger 5: 49 - 68

Then, using the trusty random number button on my calculator I'll generate the winner:

winner = rand. # * 68

(random number generates a random number between 0 and 1 - all decimals will be rounded)

Then this can be repeated until we have all the positions.

Random number can also be used to decided which badgers out of the list of 15 take part and which badger a random bomb gets dropped on.


What are your opinions on this?

edit: sorted the odds out, much thanks to dingbat for explaining.

[sheep go moo]

I personally think that it is a really good idea that is complicated, but not too much so that it is fun and makes you intrigued.
of course before you make a thread wait for AP or poofbird to give you the green light

[Makko]

aparrently i should post here before making my amazing 13 step chalenge...

[sheep go moo]

what is it, explain it, the odds, the rules and bets that can be made

[ZeroShade]

This can be a good idea, but keep in mind that if there's a person around here who has a great idea, and posts it here, there's a good chance someone else will steal it and claim it as their own. :(

EDIT: Perhaps it would be a good idea to PM one of the "masters" of this board, such as Poofbird or Angrypaul and tell them your idea, so that there's no chance it could be ripped off? That would be a much fairer way. That's my first idea when I have an idea for a betting topic like this.

[sheep go moo]

noobs these days
anyway peg post what your thing is about and we all will try to make it better for you so that it will work, also state if you need a financial backer

[Makko]

CRAP, this won't work because my brothers gone to france for a week and he took my watch!!!

[sheep go moo]

so use the one on your pc

[Makko]

er.. it was a crap idea...
let me think...
OK! i will have 6 cards
3 kings (king of clubs, king of spades,king of diamonds) and 3 queens (queen of spades, queen of hearts, queen of diamonds). Then i will shuffle them all up and lay them on a table (face down) and i will pick one! the one who voted for that one WINS!!

[sheep go moo]

you are right that is crap
why are you so desperate for extra rupies

[Makko]

its not the rupies.... i want to have a thread and im really BORED at my house!!
So a little fun would brighten up my day :p

[TusksRUs]

Then why not do it as a game where the prize is fun?

Just an idea. . .

[Makko]

because if i'm having fun, why not get a little rupies out of it?

[sheep go moo]

i have a new betting game that i cant rig because i will show the results.
i call it the number game
i make a randomizer: http://www.randomizer.org/form.htm
pick 2 numbers from 1-10 and then i hand out monies

5 rupies per bet, 1 bet one number, max 3 bets per person per round
the two winners get 20 each
or
the randomizer does 1-20 and picks 4 numbers
1st number winner: 30 rupies
2nd number winner: 20 rupies
3rd number winner: 15 rupies
4th number: 10 rupies

5 bets per person max per round

what do you think shall i do it or shall i scrub it?

[Makko]

i like it but what do you think of my card one?

[sheep go moo]

if you can find a place on the internet that does that then it will be fine but at the moment it is too easty to rig

[Makko]

y would i want to rig it? there will allways be a winner i have to pay...

[damn tasche]

You might choose the person who you have to pay the least to.

But it's the same with almost all betting threads - you just have to trust the person in charge.

[sheep go moo]

oh yeh
as long as there is one person to one card then it will be fine
say bet is 10 rupies
you pay the winner
50 rupies

[Makko]

ok then what if every bet has to be the same.. say 5 or 10 rupies (it depends on the profit i'm getting). so now i have planned it ALL out should i begin the thread?

[Shave]

i'd like to propose a card game a bit like blckjack:

i will deal out 12 cards at random (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L) and each player pays 20 rupies and chooses 2 cards. after 6 players have chosen their card i will reveal the cards and the person with the highest score on their 2 cards wins 115 rupies, as i will take a 5 rupie commission. aces are always high and picture cards are worth more than 10's. if two or more people have the same score then the prize money will be split evenly and rounded up to the nearest rupie. i have no motive to cheat or fix the cards as i will not be playing and i pay everyone the same. the game also needs no financial backing.

what do you think :confused:

[pure canadian]

I think u need more money to start it.

Here's a lottery i thot of, that I dont need to use my money on.
I know theres been lotteries before, but they didnt work, and my lottery is simple and I wont have ANY financial problems!
Heres how it goes:
People post the numbers between 1-100.
U can get up to 10 number, each number costs 20 bucks.
now all 20 times 100 equals 2000$. so, I'll ask a guy on the street, anyone, to chose a number between 1-100.
He'll tell me wuteva.
and the guy who wins, get the 1550. Then, ill ask another, and that will be the second place, who gets 400. and ill get 50 for doing the work.
Hows that?
if u dont understand, tel me wut u dont understand and ill tell u.
after all, its y i posted on this thread.

[Shave]

why? i pay out what people pay in, there's no variable payout and no-one can break the bank. your lottery works on the same scheme, and i reckon it (your lottery) will work, you may just have to reduce the numbers a bit as it may be a while before you get 100 bets placed

[sheep go moo]

shane good game pm poof or ap to ask wether you can start it
canasian use a randomizer to pick the number

[Shave]

Incase you hadn't noticed, you're a noob too. :rolleyes:

And Peg may be younger than you but he has been here since January and is a good poster and his idea was not bad at all. Just be careful, alright.

Why don't people just PM Poofy because he's a super mod and moderates HOCAS. Plues he has vast knowledge of everything gambly.

Not sure if he's a super mod...maybe just imagined that bit..:/


edit/ oh yeah and AngryPaul aswell - PMing either of these two would suffice methinks.

And the bit about mods - Weebl said there will be no mods. He said there were enough admins/super mods who could cover this forum aswell.

[sheep go moo]

why am i a noob all i do is try to better the forums

[Shave]

to be opened at a later date

[AngryPaul]

Seems very complicated and we have only just gotten a Weeblmon thread which takes a lot of effort in it. This is a good idea, but I think that it will take to much effort for both thread starter and people who want to play. Try it if you like though.

*Also you have only just opened a new thread - Shane's Card Game - and I think that you need to conscentrate on that for a few weeks first*

[Shave]

ok. i'll save the thread and open it at a later date. thanks

*edits post so no one can steal idea:p *

[titanic]

ok then i just played this in the pub

treasure chest raffle

raffle tickets are sold at £1 each twice a week a winner will be picked and will win 10% of the total taken the other 90% gets put in to a "treasure chest" which the winner will have to guess which "key" will get the rupies if the wrong key is guessed the pot continues untill some one gets it right

depending on interest in this game i may change the ammounts that are won/price of a ticket etc

what do you think?

[pure canadian]

how wil the winners be chosen?

[titanic]

random number generator to pick the winning raffle ticket and there will be no limit to the number of tickets sold

i belive an example is needed

people buy tickets off me lets say 100 tickets are sold

the winning number is 15 who ever got number 15 wins 10 rupes automaticaly but has the chance to pick a number from 1 to 10

the "key" is number 7 if he/she picks 7 they win the remainign 90 rupes but if not the 90 rupeis get carryed over to the next game so the chest becomes larger and 1 "key" is removed so the next rafle winner will pick a number between 1 and 10 excluding the previous choices

[sheep go moo]

sounds pretty good
see what poofbird or ap think
maybe a bigger bet 5?

[titanic]

no i want a £1 so people are encouraged to buy more that 1 number

[sheep go moo]

oh ok
why dont you pm ap with the idea considering he is online
see what he thinks

[AngryPaul]

I think it isnt a bad idea.

Personally the £1 thing shows that you dont need big financial backing for this kind of idea ;) It might take a while to generate interest, but i think it is a good idea, go for it.

[titanic]

sweet will start it


ps i need no backing as i never use any of my cash (at first)

[AngryPaul]

Right - I know it isnt a great idea to haul a thread off on Page 2 but it saves me making another one.

I, AngryPaul, present to you...................

Oh and what exactly are people going to be betting on? How long can I last? It will take about 21/22 hours including toilet and eating/drinking breaks/changing discs, so I might not last the whole time :eek:

I will be offering bets on time slots between 0 hours and 22 hours (or however many I decide is enough)

[titanic]

sorry for bumping this back up but i feel it must be done due to more poorly thaught out betting threads being opened up

[theruler]

Did you know that all the people who bet on this thread were cheated? An acquatiance of mine set this up and cheated you all. hheheheheh:slash: O:) :rawk:

[theruler]

I must apologise for my previous message the flipping game was not fixed your all just really unlucky. SORRY:confused: :slash:

[sheep go moo]

Ok.....
That was strange.
I think this thread could do with a sticky as to be seen by all people who are making new threads.

[Nuclear Spoon]

theruler please don't double post.

Maybe I can come up with ideas for threads but certainly not do them (I too poor:().

Perhaps something like.... I dunno... The weather betting thread? Where you guess what the weather will be like the next day? But there'd be different weather in different places... Oh well, I might post occasionally in here just to give ideas.

[titanic]

thats not a bad idea as most bookies will do it so the ods should be avaliable

although you will need to se set strick conditions like exactly where and at what time

so things like what will the wether be like at 12 noon out the front of my house on friday

even so wether forcasts are pretty sufisticated thies days and can tell what the wether will be with a high degree of acuracy

[seaempty]

Every wednesday and saturday the national "lotto" takes place and a bonus ball is picked. There are 5 different colours the ball could be, depending on it's number.

White - Balls 1-9
Blue - Balls 10-19
Pink - Balls 20-29
Green - Balls 30-39
Yellow - Balls 40-49

The odds for each colur are about 5-1 (the astute ones will realise that each colour has 10 balls associated with it, except white which only has nine - so this may be offered at 11-2).

You just bet on which colour the call will be, on those odds, max bet 50 rupies.

Yey! :) or nay :(

[titanic]

:) yay


i tryed a beting thing using bonus balls but my odds were crap this is very nicly thaught out though

well done!

(are we to assume that you will pay out the bet times 5 for a win?)

[seaempty]

You assume correctly

[titanic]

so you can win between 5 and 250 rupies!

id have a bash

[wormbo]

break the aol disk betting game!! next round is on friday June 17! go to the link on my sig to find out more....

[BlueberryMuffin]

If we are still in business here, i would like the approval of someone before i start my thread.

Two-Up
This was a game played by Australians (and probably others) during the world wars. It's now banned, but i have obtained a set:ninja: .

Basically, there are two different coins. Let's say a 50 cent and a Dollar coin.
There are 4 possible results:
Heads-Heads
Tails-Tails
Heads (50 cent) Tails (dollar)
Tails (50 cent) Heads (dollar)
and people bet on which one they think will happen. If they are right, they win their money back double. There will be a max bet of 50 and a min of 10. There will be a 1 person per result limit, otherwise i could end up with 10 people betting 50 rupies on the right result.

However, here i ran into some problems:
a) If someone bet's $50 and everyone else bets $10, i stand to lose $20, and there is no way of telling if i rigged it (although i assure you i won't).
b) In proper two-up the dealer would pocket some money each round. I was thinking 1 rupie in 20-50 betted as a fair fee. but if you think that is a scam then i will do it for no charge , even though i stand to lose $20 rupies.

please tell me what you think.

[Cap'n Zola]

I like the idea and the fact that it was banned makes it sound sexy.

I say go for it.

I'd definitely have a dither upon it if ye did.

[Reddig]

This was a game played by Australians (and probably others) during the world wars. It's now banned, but i have obtained a set .

Was that a joke, or some rather paranormal things happen in Australia? Banned? Like, game of throwing coins? Obtained a set? Of one dolar and 50 cents? No, that obviously was a joke, and I'm making an idiot of myself doubting that...

[BlueberryMuffin]

by banned i mean it's illeagal This is because alot of soldiers bet all their money away on it, and came home not only scarred for life but with no money to support a family.
Also it was origionally played with a pound coin and a penny i think, but our currency changed to dollars in 1960 something.

I'll wait for a couple more approvals then start.

edit: almost forgot, it's still legal on Anzac day.

[sheep go moo]

It sounds very good.
Please start it.

[Shave]

so you're saying there is a 1 in 4 chance of doubling your money?? not very good odds if you ask me.

[BlueberryMuffin]

oh crap, i forgot to say. you win your money back at least double.
but say in a pool of 4 $50 bets, if i take 1 rupie in 20, this leaves a $190 prize. the money jackpots you see. so in a round of 4 $10 bets i would take 2 rupies leaving a prize of 38 rupies total. however if there are 3 $10 bets and 1 $50 bet, i pay out $20 rupies of my own money if the $50 bet wins.

otherwise i'd be scamming craploads of money for just flipping two coins.

[Shave]

that's ok then. go ahead and start it

[Shave]

ok. this is my attempt at Bingo (i have read Mr. Stabby's thread)

for 20 rupies you can each buy a card (with numbers from 1-90). you can buy more than 1 card but there is a maximum of 24 cards.
i will post all the cards in one go and you just say which one you want to buy

unlike Mr Stabby's bingo i will reveal all 90 numbers in one go then work out who got their numbers quickest. there will be prizes for the first one to get a full line, and the first one to get a full house.

to select the numbers i will use a bingo set i have at home.


what do you think?

[damn tasche]

Here's a (probably terrible) idea:

Everyone donates money to me and whoever donates the most gets all the money.

A very simple concept, but the people betting have no idea what anyone else has played.

So in that light it's a case of "how much dare you lose?" - will you put your money where your mouth is?

Then I might have it that whoever bets the lowest I keep that money, but I would have to see.

What do you lot reckon?

[InsertNameHere]

I like that idea (wants to steal it)

[Shave]

approves of Damn Tasche's idea

[titanic]

about bingo?

not sure i dont like bingo myself i find it dredfully boring

sorry

as for the who donates the highest i am totaly against that it just seems like a very fast way to loose a lot of rupies

but those are just my opinions so never mind me

[Shave]

it wouldn't be boring as i would post all the numbers in one go after enough cards have been bought

[titanic]

sorry didnt read that bit

i just know the last one had the numbers being posted all the time which sucked

if there will be free tea and biscuits i will say yes

you are going to have a frenzy of pm's after posting though so just make sure your post box is empty

[Shave]

ok. instead of doing a quiz league i've decided to do a cryptic football quiz.

for example, two of the questions would be:

male meadows - and the answer would be Mansfield
glass mansion = crystal palace

(these two will be on the quiz so if you look here you know you've got two right :D )

donate 20 rupies to enter and pm your answers. person who gets the most right wins the money. if two people get same score rupies are split. please don't cheat

what do you think?

[Shave]

sorry to double post but i'd like to get some feedback on this idea

i'll post a battleships grid with the ships concealed (obviously).
you pay 5 rupies and pick a square (eg. D4).
if you miss you get nothing, if you hit a ship you get 15 rupies,
and if you sink a ship you get 30 rupies.
you can have as many goes as you want. i will post updated grids every so often

the grid:

(any help would be recommend for how to save only a section of a paint image)

[sheep go moo]

I really like that idea, and i might say that i think that this thread could do with a sticky, due to the fact that it helps and it doesnt get posted in much.

Tis a very good idea, and i will play most definetely.

if it doesn't get one buy your own:p i might help contribute

[sheep go moo]

I may do, and i promise i will be the first better, one thing though, you have to be trusted, but i trust you.

[pure canadian]

a person should make a site like that old gamble-a-tron or slow-machine thingy and have it a wack a mole...
people would bet on which hole it will come out of next,... if right, they win 30, if wrong their bet of 5 is gone....
as much people could bet on the game, I cannot start this game, because of my financial problems, but anyone can.

[sheep go moo]

If i can find a script like so then i will make it.
I need a script that has equal chancesd of coming up with 6 numbers.

[pure canadian]

k, kewl.
it would be cool...

I need a script that has equal chancesd of coming up with 6 numbers.

A random number genorator?

http://www.randomizer.org/form.htm

[junior]

Can I perhaps do the random number generator game. I've been trying to think up of a game that doesn't scam and blah de blah, but I couldn't think of any that haven't been done.

But this one seems good.

[pure canadian]

i was thinking more like 8 holes...
1 2 3 4 <-number of the hole...
0 0 0 0 <-holes

0 0 0 0
5 6 7 8

and like people would bet like:
i bet on hole # 5.
and random nunber generate the 1-8 and if 6 won, and BOB was on 6 then he'd recieve 40, or something...
i like that idea..

[junior]

i had an idea of a bank. well i call it a bank bacause I don't know what else to call it really.

What happens is personA deposits [amount] *sends donation to me* and then buggers off. The [amount] gains interest depending on how many people have deposited cash. [If 5 people have deposited then 5 rupies get added on every day].

A note of how much cash each person has will be kept and updated daily.

It is a good chance for people to raise there money if they want to.

There is a catch, just so those rich people to get toooooo rich.

You can only deposit cash if you have under 500 rupies.

As soon as someone has 500 rupies, there cash gets given back to them.

The minimum deposit is 10 rupies, and the maximum deposit is 100 rupies.

I will think of more stuff to add if this gets accepted.

NOBODY STEAL THIS IDEA!

[Captain Mark]

I would definately invest in that idea

[junior]

I would have to get funded for it though [hint to the admins]

I need to find a way to get a profit though. Maybe take 5% tax or something. Any ideas?

[Captain Mark]

I doubt very much that the admins would fund a rupie bank.

Tell me, how much do you think you'd need to start it?

[junior]

At least 100, to get it started, because I don't see many people investing in the idea straight away. And I wouldn't need to give ouy much money. And if I use my taxing idea, then I could build up enough cash to fund it myself.

Though it may go bankrupt if it goes downhill, but if you guys are willing to give it a go, then I am!

Set up a thread for it, and I will donate 70 rupies immediately

[junior]

Do I not need confirmation that I am allowed to, or can I go straight ahead and do it?

[Captain Mark]

I approve

There it's been approved! Go make the thread :) !

[titanic]

work out detales first

you will be loosing money from this right?

and you will need to keep carefull track of what rupies are yours and what are other peoples so the arnt wasted in the store

be like a real bank! do loans as well! hough im not sure the the old time rupie loan co will aprove

[junior]

Yes, I will be losing rupies, burt who cares?? [CRAP!]

But I will be gaining 5% of the withdrawl amount, which will give me some money.

Thats why I was hoping for some funding (which I have recieved thanks to Captain Mark).

[titanic]

that 5% means nothing after 6 days with one person 3 after 2 etc sorry but that is a bad idea

[junior]

I am the bank man. I WILL raise taxes if I have to. Not all banks are great y'know!

[Captain Mark]

I'd like to start a rupie bank as well, with loans (proably somewhere around 5%)

If anyone wants to become staff, or thinks this idea sucks then post below

[Shave]

i'd like to become staff if that's ok. i'll need to regain my precious rupies though.

[Captain Mark]

'Tis no problem. In time it will be implemented, for now I have no problem waiting

[junior]

I would like to start a dice rolling game. It's not high maintenence, just have to check in once a day, whereas the bank I had to check in every couple of hours.

I know of a site which produces random numbers and it's not riggable. I will post screen shots to prove the number.

I will start it when the first approval comes.

edit: i will also need funding by an admin or mod

[titanic]

i think yo all should know that admins and mods dont do funding you need users with lots of rupies to fund you

everybody alwas puts "i need an admin or mod to fund me"

what you realy need is a solid idea with all tha flaws worked out then look back through the pages to see if your idea has been done before

if it has it will more that lightly failed due to lack of intrest or the arguments about how it is going to fail you should learn from thies removing any problems that were forseen in the first place

then ask for funding here if people aprove they will let you know and offer funding

let me know the full detales here and i may consider it depending on how the idea looks

[junior]

well can someone else fund me then?

[titanic]

sorry did you not read any of my post?

give us the full game so people can see how it will be played and then ask for funding

people wont fund what goies on inside your head you need to get it out on here in black and orange for people to read

[junior]

I've already posted the thread which tells you how its played!

[Captain Mark]

Agreed to titanic_weebl, we need to know more before we are going to put money into something.

As well, when you have posted about your idea, I might invest in it. However, this time it will be an investment instead of a donation.

In that I mean, on the start of your betting thread I will give you up to 300 rupies, but by the end of July you must pay it back with 10% interest (Ie, 10% of 300 = 30, you have to pay back 300 rupies to me)

If you agree, post below with the information on the game

[junior]

It's here! (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16887)

[Captain Mark]

Alrighty then, have fun.

I cancelled the investment because I might be opening up a thread soon

[junior]

I have listened to him. He just helped me get it up and running. And he funded me. So bleeeh! :p

[titanic]

yea so bleeeeeeh!:p

[junior]

I have just had a cunning idea.

I think there should be a funding charity run by a mod or admin. Like start a new user called "charity" or something. And you can donate money to that charity. And you could use that money in the charity to fund new betting threads.

[Cap'n Zola]

I like that idea, I mean, it's not as if skoo needs all that 29k rupies anyway :p especially as he can get whatever he wants from the store for free...

[titanic]

its not realy going to happen though is it?

we all know why skoo has that many rupies its so he can show off on the bakery

why do you have this fixation that a mod is going to want to fund betting threads?



ok. i have an idea for a new game:

i will simulate a randomly football match in Championship Manager 03/04. you can then buy any player in either team's starting 11 for 7 rupies. after the match the rating that your player got will be refunded as rupies, eg. if your player was rated 8/10 you would get 8 rupies.
if your player scores or gets an assist you will get an extra 5 rupies per goal/assist. a at=trick of goals/assists will earn an extra 5 rupies. if your player scores an own goal no rupies are lost
if your player is sent off or seriously injured yoou will get no rupies no matter how good a rating, or no. of goals/assists.
at the end of the matchi will (try to) post the screen to show that i'm not cheating.

what do you think?

[Captain Mark]

Exactly my thought.

I like your idea for a thread, Shane. Do you have enough rupies to fund it?

[junior]

maybe because a mod or admin would have enough responsablity to handle the charity money instead of some twunt like captain mark?!

[Captain Mark]

Mods won't fund betting threads. We don't even have a mod for the Sports and Bets forum. As to the twunt remark, I've calculated more than 1750 rupies I've handed out since the existance of the rupie system. Rupies don't matter to me but so long as they have some worth here, I will keep them.

In time I will create a bank where new owners of betting threads can get a loan for their thread, create stock for it, ect. The old stock market seems to have vanished save the few traces like Poofbird's Roulette market.

[junior]

I don't think you understood what I said.

I think a mod should take charge of a user called "charity" and WE donate money to that charity and the money that WE donated will be used to fund new betting threads.

I'm not talking about a mod using their money to fund them.

Did I emphasise WE enough?

that's why i have used relatively low rupie amounts. as long as everyone doesn't get 10 ratings and the score isn't 5-5 or something ridiculous then i should be fine. if not i will take out a loan, actually, i will take out a loan for now.

Munky* i now understand your idea and it is a very good one in theory but no mod will probably want to do it. you might be able to start it up yourself though with a few more rupies

Exactly. JohnnyFFmaster made his own charity for newbies, which has turned some of them from the tide of becoming Criminally mad over rupies. It is not entirely necessary for a moderator to make one.

Though it is possible to do this [make a charity], I would advise no one to do so yet. In time I will have a bank up and running (or so I hope) that will give out loans to anyone who wishes to start a betting thread. I'll try to keep the interest around 5% which is only 5 rupies if I loan you 100.

[junior]

just to let you all know, my thread is open for bets now
