this competition is for fun, if he removed the 5k prize I bet that everyone other than you would still be betting the same amount. There is a big difference between betting to win millions of dollars and useless vcash.

People buy lotto tickets to win money, people bet on vbookie for fun/e-penis. There is a HUGE difference there, incase you can't see it

Trust me, anybody can tell that Hustlin wants to grow his e-penis because he will do anything to win this thing.

Another quality SG post. Just what the admins want to see I guess.

This is like cheating a system to earn posts on a forum, you gain nothing out of it.


And going to the admins is going to do nothing, do you really think they care about a vcash issue when there are still tons of problems with the merger?




And we are on a privately owned forum, not in the real betting world. If you don't like the rules in the Hustlin's vbookie then just leave, don't be a ***** and whine because you didn't win useless vcash LOL
why would you stick up for this blatant scam. if you get beat by you own rules thats your fault for not being smart enough to safe guard your system, further more how do you bet on it also with the power to remove somebody who you have posted that has more win than loses, just to remove them from the bet without doing anything wrong you made the rules you cant change them as the game go on to shift things in your favor. how many bets did you make on the bookie? your numbers are high? so by kicking Fox out your the overall leader? hmm........

I dont see how I am getting beat, this was meant for pure entertainment and a way to improve the community. I do have a problem as well as others when people try to screw things up after the work that I put into running this when vcash does nothing for anyone here on the forums. Several other members including myself knew betting on all 6 outcomes and getting a guaranteed 3 correct bets is possible, but have common knowledge to not cheat to win. Hence your boy has been removed from the event and will not partake in upcoming events.

Re: VBookie Weekly Challenge March 24-30

You ever hear of taking 10 seconds to write "You may not place bets on all 6 outcomes" so this crap never happens in the first place? But I guess you'd rather be a big bad bookie and punish people for rules that were never written.

There is no reason to bet on all 6 outcomes under normal betting conditions, but you made a special event where betting on all the outcomes is the best possible strategy.

So I am punished for your stupidity in setting up a special event and your need to win the 5K for yourself.

Dude get over it you can continue to bet on the games LOL 60 on Xavier and UCLA to win only 13 sweet. This is already taking more work than I wanted it to by just dealing with your dumb ass.

Anyways challenge has been updated. For those of us that are going about it the right way.

well if you agree that betting on all six outcomes does get you 3 correct bets then why didn't you state that you cant do this? since you didn't state that, then one can come to the conclusion that its OK to bet this way. did you take his Vcash when he lost? if you did then he was within the rules of the event! getting mad that some one beat the system isn't a way of running these events set you rules in stone. and to the point that Vcash isn't real money try playing WPT2 I lost alot of chips playing for fun but when I lost my chips when my phone cut off I called customer assistance and they refunded my chips. So by removing him you show that you or SG run corrupted events. if Vchash doesn't count for anything the why didn't you pay out for him winning the event? unless it does count for something? if this is the way that SG allows you to run these events in their name you should be fair when you make the rules.

Re: VBookie Weekly Challenge March 24-30

So what happens if somebody bets on 5 of the possible outcomes, or 4, or 3....2? What is the rule that dictates how many bets per game a person can make? Because at the top of each game it says "You may bet more than once on this Event."

It's like me officiating a basketball game and being too half assed (or too stupid) to paint lines on the court, so I just blow my whistle and make up the rules as I go. You need to learn how to be a bookie or else let somebody else in who knows what they are doing.

Again this was to get some activity going in the vbookie forum and I really did not want to police everyone's bet, but when you are blatantly cheating, I will not allow my efforts to be abused. Yes I took his cash because he lost the bet.

Again not getting mad, but when I am trying to improve the community I am not going to let my efforts be abused by someone trying to get over on something that is suppose to be for fun and ruin the experience for others. I would rather get rid of one person than have several other people upset.

This is not a sanctioned SG event it was something I did to improve the community and he will not participate in any other events. He was paid out for the events that he won. But his tactic actually lost him money.

Everyone so far seems to have common sense unlike yourself and have not bet on every single outcome to cheat the event.

There isnt a rule because I am not going to police members bets, but would like to think people are mature if enough to go about this the right way, which clearly you were unable to do.

This is for those that like to bet either the over/under and the either the money line or spread. Unlike yourself that bet on every damn outcome. Which lost you vcash.

I am not the only bookie on the site, but yet the only one that seems to make any events, so others are to do as they wish.

Re: VBookie Weekly Challenge March 24-30

I didn't cheat or abuse any rules because you didn't make any besides "Most wins will get an extra 5000 in VCash".

Then 1 DAY before this is over you edit your first post...after I have been removed, you are in first place, and I'm banned from future events. This sure is convenient for you.

If I am gonna be punished I'd really like to have done something wrong. I just hope the admins see exactly how incredibly irrational you are acting.
