    Immortality meets degenerate gambler. Think of it, a vampire who was lucky enough to become immortal, but cursed by century after century of bad beats. It's evident that years of experience are no guarantee as we follow our undead protagonist through modern day Vegas and into flashbacks of his ancient addiction.

    This is sure to appeal to both teenage girls who love vampires and your everyday degenerate gambler. Don't even try to steal my idea because I will hunt you down if you do. Maybe soon to be for sale in the SBR store? I'd say 500 SBR points is more than a fair price. 1000 for Rickysteve, Secretstash, and Shari.

          Get this in the SBR Store asap. I'll pay points for it. I like those cheesy girly vampire movies. And I like rounders too.

                Tentative title:
                Blood
                &
                Money

                There seems to be some interest here SBRJohn, so go ahead and give me an advance of 50,000 SBR points and I'll get started.

                    well, he seems to suck the life out of every bet, so, maybe in some way.

                        Sir Francis was a lock to win the jousting tournament, but he fell off his horse in the 2nd round. The vampire is still trying to recover from that loss.

                                IMO it would work better as a screenplay. Just a hunch that it would. Easier to write about 90 pages of dialogue than hundreds of pages. Degenerates don't read novels too much either. Get Brad Pitt or even the guy from True Blood or those Eclipse movies for the teenage girls and you're home free.

                                    You can't just throw this idea out to the public, this is gonna be a movie in 2 years and nothing for you out of it now.

                                      Well, I've actually already written and obtained a copyright. Not under that title I gave though. If someone would like to steal the idea and turn it into a film that would be great. I could sue for more than I ever could have gotten from book sales.

                                          No but it's appealing to that demographic also. How many copies can I put you down for sir?

                                            On second that, Brock would have had to be born a vampire. If he was bitten, he would never turn. The Brock curse is even bigger. Brock would be unaffected but the vampire would lose his immortality.

                                                        No more vampires.

                                                        Can anyone have a creative NEW idea anymore?

                                                          i think with all the sbr members participating your book could turn into a number one world best-seller. It could reach 1000 or more pages. All we need to do is provide you our account wager histories with our own comments, and you will have 1000 or more characters which your vampire meets and gets to know the stupidity of their betting strategy.

                                                            ...and then feeds on them. Except tt, he gets full before he can finish him off and tt just ends up feeling a little weakened.
