An idea.
#7888814 - 01/16/08 03:59 PM (16 years, 16 days ago) |
|

After reading the whole thing with AaronEvil and LS, I thought "Why not come up with a way we can gamble, sans money and without there being a debate whether or not someone held up their end of the bet."
What would you guys think about having a sticky or just threads, and when people feel like "betting" on a sporting event, and the loser gets banned for a week. Site wide, just the Sports forum, their most posted in forum, I don't care. It would be easy, and I think fun.
So for example I would say "I bet a one week site wide ban that the Pats beat SD." Someone would post a response agreeing, and whoever loses, well, they fucking lose. I guess we'd need mod (aka OMR) cooperation to do it, but it doesn't seem like it's unreasonable.

This is a very cool idea, hopefully OMR thinks so too.

that was sort of the gist of the sig bet
but i guess it doesn't matter if people don't hold up their side.

Exactly why we have something they can't avoid. There isn't shit you can do about a ban besides bitch about it.

But it's easy to enforce a ban compared to the sig thing.

Maybe you should figure out something that doesnt have loopholes. You would hate the terms to be vaguely defined and have guy like me exploit the bet/wager. Then there will be a huge thread about how someone copped out because they didnt hold up their end of the bet to someone elses standards, even though their sig is within the standards of the bet made.

Maybe you should learn to read, because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I did.
Look man, I already said I thought what you did was clever. Yeah, it's a loophole, but it's still a cop out. Part of me is just fucking around in the other thread. The other part of me agrees with everyone else because I have yet to see you put together an argument that either makes sense or that I agree with when it comes to sports.

I see loopholes in your system. But hey, what do I know? You disagree with me about sports and I was wrong about the Pats, I must have no credibility based on your biased and the fact I under-rated the best team in football.

Explain the loopholes. The whole point of this idea is to avoid that kinda stuff, so I would like you to explain it.
This wasn't supposed to turn into anything about you. We don't see eye-to-eye on sports. The Pats have nothing to do with it, you weren't the only motherfucker to think they weren't gonna go undefeated. This isn't an us-against-you issue, so stop making it one. I also don't see what bias there could possibly be here.

The only thing I've though of, by the way, was someone editing their post after the fact, which would be easily solved by having a third party quote the bet.

Thats the first loophole issue you discussed.
Are we saying we absolutely want them banned? So it would have to be an IP and account ban correct? So they couldnt create another account from their primary computer? Obviously we cant stop someone from using different IP's and comps. Im not sure if the IP ban is possible but I assume it is.

An account ban for a certain amount of time sitewide? IP seems too much work if it's a week you won't create a new acct.

I think you under-estimate what I would do. Anything to lose the bet and still come out a winner. Im just saying... if anyone else was as big an asshole as me, they would do it to and rub it in your faces.

So what if we said during that time you are banned, you can't create a new acct. if you do you are perma banned from the site IP wise.

Only on the internets tough guy. I'd love to see you weasel your way out of paying a reputable bookie on a bet you lost.

That fixes it, or maybe we could talk about 0 trade ratings as well for not following through entirely on the bet; rather than a perma ban.

I don't know jack about trade ratings so i prefer a perma ban I also don't know the feasabiilty. You could also make a bet saying that whatever the winner says goes, like with your sig, they design what you have to put there.

Thats a pretty sweet idea. Id say it MUST relate to the bet IE. if you bet on a team and they lose the other person designs a sig for you with their favorite, or your least favorite, team in it.

They design it, time limit is specified before hand, there can be no alterations made to the design. 2 other ppl are selected to make sure you don't cop out and to make sure the rules are followed they quote the agreement so it can't be changed. If you don't follow the rules you get banned and/or lose trade ratings.
Well I might bet on a team I don't like but think will win. So putting them in my sig won't matter to me thats why just relating to the teams might not work.

I took the making a puppet thing into account. If people have no integrity, then there isn't shit to be done. Just like not paying a bet, if a person runs there comes a point when you can't do anything about it. If someone cares sooooo much as to make a puppet, then they're just fucking pussies, and if a puppet tracker busts them then they should, in all honesty, be completely banned from the sports forum.
Any other questions?
