Betting (points) forum

[O.C.]

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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

Looks like only RJ is a betting man. So, 50 points, go Denver!!

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

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!).

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

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.

I wonder who thought of it
