Betting (points) forum - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

O.C. · 09-30-2002, 03:47 PM

I saw this on another VB board. It was just a forum for wagering forum points on anything (sports, news, etc.)

I think it's not a great idea but I might as well throw it out there if some one does.

Edit: Through does not = throw!

not a bad idea

i'm willing to bet on stuff

I'd go for that. What shall we wager on? Sports, perhaps?

How about a DNForum football pool each week, NFL-picks, against the spread? Winner takes all!!

**Bob** · 09-30-2002, 07:11 PM

I am always up for a good bet!

At one of my previous employers, we would bet on anything.. literally.

Sounds fun. I bet $100 DNF greg ends up creating the forum.

**GeorgeK** · 09-30-2002, 07:59 PM

How about bets on tonight's NFL game? (Monday Night Football!)

Denver Broncos are favoured by 9 over the Baltimore Ravens. I'll take Denver to beat the spread. Up to 100 DNForumBucks worth of "action", to any and all who accept before kickoff time.

(i.e. 5 people for 20 DNForum bucks each, one person at 100, 2 at 50, etc.) Post in this thread if you will take the other side of the bet. Loser has to cough up payment in DNForumBucks from the store later.

**James Names** · 09-30-2002, 08:30 PM

You're on for 50 pts George. Go Ravens!

**GeorgeK** · 09-30-2002, 08:59 PM

Looks like only RJ is a betting man.

So, 50 points, go Denver!!

**Luc** · 09-30-2002, 09:06 PM

I don't know enough about the teams to make an educated
guess so i decided not to participate in this one.

**GeorgeK** · 09-30-2002, 09:57 PM

DomainRetriever: me neither....I just randomly picked one, to get things going.

Looks like I'm going to lose, too (that's why I've never bet on sports for money!).

**Luc** · 09-30-2002, 10:01 PM

lol. i was debating whether i should be or not.

good luck george!

So my post was obviously useful to a lot of you. *ahem*

**GeorgeK** · 09-30-2002, 10:47 PM

I *definitely* lost this bet, as half-time just ended. Denver tried to kick a 58 yard field goal, and missed. Then, the Ravens ran it back for a touchdown!

Congrats, RJ. I'm sending you the 50 points now, as this game's all over but the crying, hehehe.
