hey guys, just want to gauge some interest here: would you guys be interested in betting virtual money here on sporting events? there would be threads where odds are listed an you can wager virtual money/points on outcomes. we could even have contests and prizes in the future.

for an example, check out this Mixed Martial Arts site:

http://www.mmaforum.com/pride-vbookie-betting/

if you want to see it here at WTFDetroit, speak up!

Its kinda lame. I've had it at 2 sites, takes off well, then gets bastardized.

Doesn't seem like there is much interest at this time.

well, fine.

Actually, I think it would be a great add-on to the site. This IS a sports site after all and you can install the uShop add-on for it, too. What that does is make it so people can actually "buy" items with their money like custom user titles, diffrent color usernames and other kinds of stuff.

Alpaca really doesn't like being referred to as a LLama. It's almost like a racial slur down on the farm. Please refrain from such vulgarities in the future.

You've got plenty of competition.

We ruin jokes every day.

So back to this vBookie thing...

if you lose all of your jack, are you just done for good? Is there a way to regain $?

Can I use vCash for liquor?

matt, if you don't give me $10,000 vbucks, I will publish pictures of you and Darvin Ham in compromising positions.

So I see I have $500 now, how/when we gonna use it? Ive never been on a board with vcash so forgive my neubishness. Will there be public betting pools? individual bets? both?

hey guys, we're testing out vBookie right now, so hang tight :)

and those Darvin Ham pics......they're nothing compared to the videos, so you've got nuthin' on me!!

Is that 500 dollars, or pesos?

That would equal 2 dollars, dontcha know.

update

We currently have a 408-way tie for most vCash.

So I'm in first place?

vCash is gahay.:jimj:

Glenn post some more bets because I've got two pockets full of Alpacas I'm either going to wager, or spend on hookers and booze.

Hmmm... Maybe I will do both!

There's pretty much nothing going on today, what do you want posted?

No pressure or anything, but many of us are counting on you to beat this tomlinson guy.

Don't fuck it up.

Post shit for tomorrow gangsta! I want to bet on my schedule, not on yours!!!

Dude, I will beat this guy like a drum. Like Taymelo vs. Steve. Like Steve vs. his miniature weenie. Like Jason Maxiell on the front end of the rim. Like Darko getting blocked by the rim.

Like Matt at a Korean slumber party.


Don't fuck it up.
Oh sure, now the pressure is on.

They usually don't post the betting lines until gameday, unless it's football.

Check back tomorrow, homes.
