I bet you.... Upgrade Idea

Hearing you guys fight over a bet..

I have an idea for an upgrade "I Bet you......"

The idea is, you put out the bet, and the amount of points.

"I bet you the Lions win by 7 points or more tomorrow" - 150 points

Since I placed the bet, I get 150 points deducted
Anyone who accepts gets 150 points deducted

When a winner is declared, you will not get the points for 12-24 hours OR until the other person ALSO says you are the winner. (This is so people can't declare themselves the winner and run off with the pts)

If there is a dispute, there will be a thread made with a poll. The user base will declare the winner

I'm really not a fan of this upgrade. If you implement this all of the scammers, like myself, will have a hard time earning points. Please rethink this!

It is a great idea, id like to make some points betting on some pro sports games.

Ya if it is going on, I'd rather protect the user base from any type of fraud.

This will prevent that

I am thinking about adding 1v1 and multi-way bets.

The idea for multi-way bets would be like this:

Player 1 puts up 100 points for Greenbay vs Detroit thanks giving. He's betting GREENBAY -7 (So 100 Points is in the pot)

Player 2 says, yup I like greenbay also, I'll put in 50 points (now 150 points in the pot for greenbay)

Player 3 says, nope.. I'll take Detroit and puts in 100 points ( now 150 for Greenbay, 100 for Detroit)

Player 4 says UR NUTS and takes greenbay for another 50 points (now 200 greenbay, 100 for detroit)

If the betting action stopped here players 1,2 & 4 each get their respective % of the prize pool if they win and refunded the rest. I would have some serious math equations going on here to make things simple when the entire bet isn't covered.

But this is my initial thoughts (And by typing it out I need to put more thoughts into this)

I think this is a great idea Zab.
Especially if it makes it harder for Prozach to earn points.

Man I have to re-think multi-way bets..

Maybe you can only get the original amount of the bet.. then your action is only taken if someone else comes along and accepts?

Zab, you should just take all bets, {You r talking about sports right?}, if you decide to do this, and just have a point spread or something like that, so you don't get totally screwed.

Or have like a parley card. Could put whatever you want on it, see what works.

This would be a cool upgrade. Is this a step to getting sports betting on the site?

Another great idea. I really like this one, should generate some good participation.

This one isn't the house doing sports betting. This is a bet between you members

Do we need multi-way bets? I think this would be way more fun...

Just have to figure out the correct way to do it.. maybe multi-way bets would be the exact same amount.

So if the original bet is say 50 points, everyone after that would have to bet 50 points.. If there is no further action, the LAST people that bet would get refunded........ unless i can think of a better way
