Careful, from the looks of the top 50 'Members Credits' list roll-over every week (sometimes daily) you're calling quite a few people dumb and stupid, including the esteemed leader.
I agree. [with clones_jer's statement]
That is actually a strangely good idea. :notworthy:
Where do we sign up????:yes::yes::yes::yes:Maybe you have this in mind, too, but will there be raffle items that aren't game tickets? For out-of-staters, it's not always possible to come to a weeknight game. T-shirts, dates with Cyclone cheerleaders, etc. would be good raffle items.
It's a free internet site with free credits that mean nothing. Of course irresponsibility is gonna happen!
I don't think we need to be paying out more credits just because people are being stupid with them and have none left. It's fake gambling, if I blew $50k at the casino I doubt they are going to hand me out some more money just because I went broke. I have a fair ammount of credits and in fact I just lost about 70k or so of them on a couple bets this week but I'm not dumb enough to go all in on something like some people here do then are left out to dry with nothing when they lose.
A loan system sounds interesting but you'd have to set it up somehow so it charges interest on the loaned ammount so people don't abuse it. I think its been a fun feature but I don't think those who are dumb with their credits should be given some special exceptions while those who have been smart with them are in a sense somewhat penalized for being smart with them by giving these people multiple chances to get back up in the credits with them.
I'm not calling them dumb or stupid...
It loses how fun it is if there aren't real consequences with losing on bets. Right now when I bet I am on the edge of my seat hoping to win while I watch the game. It is like a real bet in my mind. If I know I can lose and in a few days will be right back up with number of credits due to the overly friendly credit system then the whole system starts to lose appeal to me because I don't feel consequences of my decisions.
By the way, I am nearing my 1,000th post. How many credits do I get for that?..LOL
You get your credits reset to 0 when you hit 1,000, it is our way of saying you spend too much time here.
How about betting between members? I don't know how it would work but it could be kind of a cool feature!
AGHHHHH...thanks for ruining my Friday...LOL
