"Goalfest --- Advantage for people who bet"

I was talking to DW, and he's come up with the idea of having 10 points for every bet that you make. This will give an advantage for people that bet.


So, what do you lot think?


I say it would be a good idea

Thinking about adding 10 points onto every 5 bets, which would work out as 2 points per bet.

I guess I didn't think it through...but I got the right idea.

Taking 10 points away from non-voters would be better...

That was my point, so I say if someone doesn't bet, take 10 points of their total score.

So does this mean that anyone who only bets 10 pts is actually having a free bet?

A no lose scenario dont seem right, betting is gambling and if you cant lose then you're not gambling so whats the point?

If i got this wrong then forgive me.

yeah i get it, yeah nice idea

Yeah, something like that, you get the idea though. Something to make it fairer.

And yes, Foreman has MSN...

I think what English Bloke says makes a lot more sense.

Because, if you bet 5 points, even that much would be enough to push you up the table, providing you bet properly.

So 10 points would be a lot.

Wouldn’t it be better to take 10 points off those who don’t bet?

Some people in good positions are not betting because they don’t want to lose any points, well if everyone that bets gets 10 points automatically then all they need to do is bet those 10 and they still can’t slip. So, how about just saying those people who do not place a bet will automatically lose 10 points.

What are your thoughts on this?

Lol :D

I thought so, you're just a useless right-hand man. Like Blair-Bush, for example :D

(By the way, has Foreman got MSN going yet?)

:cD

Erm...ask Foreman ;c)
