Sports and Bets Rules and FAQ's

[AngryPaul]

Right, now this isnt official and if people think I'm wrong, flame my sorry ass. Aslo, I am not trying to run this place, just help to maintain that nice 'New Forum Smell'.

Bascially, this forum was established to create a nice place to talk about sport and bet on things to win/lose your rupies. But obviously some people get greedy:


Rules

Rule #1 : Do not make a thread of something that (1) already has a similar/exactly the same thread on page 1. (2) You/Somebody has tried in the last 7 days and failed miserably. (IE: Lotteries)

Rule #2 : There is no need to create threads that is just a question. If there is a question to be asked - ask it in here!

Rule #3 : Sporting banter is nice, but dont go round just saying that others peoples teams are 'cow dung' (IE: OMG ArseN00l R TeH SUxx0rZ) just because you dont like them. Indulge in a intelligent conversation (IE: Man Utd fan: "Shame we didnt win the title, but well done to Arsenal")

Rule #4 : If a popular thread is a little different from what you think is a 'perfect thread' do not create another one exactly the same, but just a little different to satisfy yourself. Ask the thread-owner what you think could make it better. (Also do not create exactly the same thread because it got a 'liitle too long')

Rule #5 : We have no mods, but please respect the people who basically run this little section. Do so and they will respect you backa dn we can all get on nicely. In fact Rule #5 is play nice.(Idea from Work?)

Rule #6: Just because your brains have the consistency of tapioca pudding, doesnt mean you should run about making 2nd accounts and telling everyone to use you like a bank. We're not that stupid.(Idea from Work?)

Rule #7: There are many threads were people decide to go off topic, so: a) If someone post a topic (i.e. Roulette thread) dont start talking about football, and b) If you want to talk about that topic then make a thread about it. (Idea from Peej)

Rule #8: A) Do not create a betting thread if you do not have sufficient funds to back up a possible landslide in gambler winnings. (IE: AngryPaul's Betting Shop began on a balance of £2000 - enough to back up winnings) B) If you do create a betting thread please stick to your own rules yourself at least (IE: Saying max bet 15 and not allowing bets over that amount)

Rule #9: stop whinging bout the moderator, there will never be one. But if there will be, it will be chosen. IT WILL NOT BE YOUR NOMINATIONS, BUT WHO WEEBL OR WHATEVER TRUSTS.(Quoted from Dr M)


FAQ's

How do I bet?
You venture into the thread and make sure to read the first post (IE: The opening post by the thread-owner) and discover how they need payment and when. The usual way for betting (The way AngryPaul's Betting Shop and Roulette do) is to post your bet and then donate the muneh to that user before the event you bet on takes place.

How do I win?
Your bet has to win (IE: You bet on Red, Roulette comes up with Red) Your winnings will be calculated and payed out.

How do I collect my winnings?
The usual and preferred way is that the winnings will be donated back to you within 48 hours.

What if I have no muneh to bet?
Post well and earn rupies! Or secondly get a loan from the Old Timer Rupie Loan Co!

I will add more as I find that they need to be added or people tell me some

Thank you

well done

[seaempty]

Well done, Sir! Glad to see someone taking the initiative.

I would just like to add that it might be worth setting up threads on specific sports, so that there are not new ones created over and over again. eg, football thread, rugby thread, golf thread, welly throwing thread. that sort of thing. if poss get them stucked.

[streety]

I have got a strange feeling that rules 1 and 4 were aimed in my direction.

Good to see that some rules are being laid down though after it took a while for us to get a sports thread.

Nope - the numerous Lottery threads

[streety]

I am just paranoid.
I better stop drinking.

who is actually gonna be the mod of this place beacuse i think angrey paul desevres to be, i mean the fact hes made this topic is a gd sign that he should.


anyone else agree?

[PJ]

angry paul for president lets ask stav

[Cap'n Zola]

He'd certainly make a good mod, in my oppinion.

I think Streety was a bit impatient and that's why he started a new thread, though, AngryPaul's is expanding into other sports aleady.

Nice rules btw. Should clear up any queries.

I'd like to take this opportunity to brag a little but that's all I'll say.

...Well...The idea of a betting section being added may have been thanks to my PMs to certain Admins about the sudden interest in gambling...I also campaigned alongside AP and Dr S for the Sports Forum....kudos to us are in order, I believe

[Dingbat]

Either AngryPaul or Dr S for moderator. Perhaps both.

Twig, I think you and I are exactly the kind of people who shouldn't be mods, primarily because we jump on people who make mistakes too fast.

[PJ]

seaempty I think could be a good moderator as he is a good poster and never screams at people who make mistakes he gives them advice

You mean you do? I don't. I jump on people who are simply twats and try and help them, if they do not heed my warnings then I get miffed. You jump down people's throats

I won't say here who I want, or believe, should be mods but I think this place would need some experience of an already existing mod Maybe someone else aswell.
