Wanna gamble?

Even tough I'm not a big fan of Soccer matches, I always do a little gambling when there are big tournaments like the European Championship. With a bit of money at stake I think it gets a lot more intense and exciting; and I was thinking, why not do the same for this league?'

I made this post to check if there is a demand for something like this.
It could be fun if a lot of people would place bets on it, but if only 3 people do this.. well... thats not really fun..

The basic idea is that u get 1 point for every correct placing u make, and 2 points if u pick the correct devision winner.
So you basicly try to put all the devisions in the correct order, and for each correct placing you get points.
The one with the most points in the end wins the money.

I was thinking 5 euro would be sufficient.
Everyone can spare 5 euro.. its not a lot.. just drink 2 beers less this weekend.. but if atleast 50 people or more sign up, it could become a nice price.

Man!!! I'm in... for sure. But how about taxes, like if I put 5e to your bank account, would it cost more?

And maybe we should do it like... 3 divisions only or something. Because there will be some dead clans before this ends.

cool! im in!

But hey, I can influence the results as an admin.. so, I guess I'm not allowed then?
I'd be like that german referee!

Dead clans are easy.. they will be ranked lowest in their league since they didnt earn any points.
If there will be more then just 1 dead clan in same devision, the one that dropped out first wil be lowest.

I dont think only 3 devisions will be a good idea, cuz its not certain who will fumble in what devision.
Apart from that, if u have more devisions, the chance that several people earn the same number of points will be alot lower.

You might need a license to do something like this. Gambling is a serious business!

Not much reactions so far.. anyway.. im up for doing this sjiit.

I can use my internetbank account to collect teh cash.
People can send their money with their nick to the the bank, and email their nickname+the teams they wanna bet on.
I will make a list in this topic with people whose money i received.

I think i need a wingman to guarantee everything goes fair?
Kurupt or summit... if he's up for it.

I think alot of people assume you're not trustworthy.
You know I trust you, but most of the people won't "just send" their money to you...

Its v-easy to withdraw ur money if u start having doubts when using e-banking.

I honestly dont see how i could "steal" ur money..

If u have a better idea.. be my guest

gambling with people involved in the game is hi-tech.

I predict that this will be a topic for discussion if you pull it off. But it's a very nice idea :) 50% to the winner of the bet and 50% to the winning clan would be cool too.

Who cares? As long as we make money.
