Betting Between Posters

Mudcat · 08-22-06, 09:50 PM

I'm not totally against the idea but I'm leery. I have seen bad things happen with bets between posters. For one thing, they tend to get overly complicated to set up and for another, I have seen people get burned, sometimes in surprising ways.

In fact I have seen guys get stiffed by moderators at another site. TWICE!! TWO DIFFERENT MODS!! I kid you not.

Never trust a mod or even a former mod!!

So what are you talking about, the pre-season game between Green Bay and Cinci? I don't actually bet NFLX. I don't even bet the regular season until week 3 and even then only selected games. However it would be something to do.

Is that what you're talking about? I'll check back later.

i've seen alot of problems with posters making side bets on these forums. I feel the only fair way to do something like this is with money upfront to a very trustworthy person, or even maybe like a top notch book.

I believe that there are a number of offshore sportsbooks which facilitate online sportsbetting. Just a thought.

I have only made side bets with dan, but that's only because I have known him for many years.

I don't encourage bets between posters that involve cash...now avatar challenges or something like that is cool...

Mudcat mainly Sunday and Monday night NFL games and also big college games. We will let Big Boy Dan hold the money.

Sometimes I get crazy and will lets say

Let someone take the Indy game +2 against the Giants that is upcoming.

Okay well that's Sept. 10th. Still a little ways off. If you still want to give it a shot when it's closer we can probably work something out.

Where can I send my money to the JJGold sportsbook? Arbitrage alert services should get you a lot of action JJ

Of course you could use the exchanges, then you'd have no trouble collecting ;-)

Matchbook even offers XBets

JJ, do you have anything in your paypal account right now?

flyingillini · 06-29-10, 01:47 PM

Terrible idea. I would never get caught up in betting another poster. I will just bet at a sports book.

This may be the greatest non-Tacomax bump in the history of SBR bumps.
