I'd like to see the "your bets" organized by either status or when the event closes. Sometimes the events like the super bowl get pushed back on my second page and i forget about them. It seems to be organized now by when the bet was made.

Good point. I think a simple solution would be to allow the your bets page to be sorted, much like some of the other pages that display lists.

I'll report this to Jeremy as an enhancement.

You're right, that would be the best option.

I agree on that one. Not saying anything against the bookie that setup the event, but at least it was not 10:1.
If your looking for Events.....

Everynight when I get home and crawl in bed, I'm going to try

the "Shoulder Tap":biggrin: (are you awake? kinda question)with

the Ms. We could set odds at about 50/50 that I am going to


be successful, hell I never even know..? Then the next morning

I could report back and settled the bet.:yes: why would I lie...?

This is alot better than betting on the Weather...:confused:

This is an excellent idea, however, I think we'll try to avoid this type of gambling.

Yeah but then she will get an account, and quickly beat out keep for the "Warren Buffet" of CF.

The way I figure it, if you start with 500 credits it would take her 11 bets to make 1.02M credits by doubling each time.

Of course I am not sure she would agree that it would be worth it, you may agree, but she might not.

Personally during the bowl season it was rediculous so I say a few to many, during slow times I really do enjoy weather bets. Also one other question, is there any way to check how much total you've lost over your betting history(or won for the select few).

Yeah the bowl season was a big deal. I love college football and I watched all those bowls so I put events on each one. If I have not been banned by then, I will do the same thing next year.

I am not sure about every game of march madness, that may take a while!

I would like to see some more NBA games...think I've only seen one so far. Any time you have the heavyweights playing a game, such as the Suns, Spurs, Pistons, Celtics, or Mavericks playing each other-plus .500 teams.
