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.

The rules are fair and will not be abused.

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.

This isn't the United States Legal System where you can just weasel and scam your way to the top. This is ran by HustlinOwl, and he is attempting to run it as fairly as possible, which he has the right to. You where using a cheap tactic, and he most likely didn't think anyone would sink that low for something that is worthless. When he realized that some would try to cheat the system, he corrected the system, and removed the cheaters.

I would have to break a rule or have an unfair advantage over the other contestants to be cheating. Neither happened.

And he hasn't corrected the system because he still hasn't set a limit on how many bets you can make in a game. I feel like this thing is being ran by a spoiled 10 year old and his retard friends who back him up no matter what he does. The stupidity here is absolutely insane. I cannot believe fred is gonna let this stand. It's not vbookie its whoever Owl feels like giving or taking the cash away from based on his emotions and lack of knowing how to run an event.

Re: VBookie Weekly Challenge March 24-30

This is really getting ridiculous. You went against the spirit of competition. Nearly all competition (professional sports, all the way down) have catch-all spirit of competition rules, usually implied. I guess he should have writen up a ****ing rulebook

It's not Hustlin's fault that some jackass came here, only trying to start ****, and is now getting butthurt over ****ing vcash. I can do nothing but laugh at you trying to get admins involved. You seriously need help if you are taking it this seriously. You are a very sad person. But I guess my opinion about you is only because I hate MA and I'm a "corrupt mod" (lol), not because you are a total jackass.

Re: VBookie Weekly Challenge March 24-30

It's not about the vcash. Its that this guy runs this challenge like a little brat and refuses to make any sort of rules, then punishes people because hes angry they used a smart betting tactic that he didn't account for when he set this up.

A scene from The Day After Tomorrow sums this situation up accurately:

I got every question right on the final.
Mr. Spengler failed me...because I didn't write the solutions.


- Why not?

I do them in my head.

- Did you tell him that?

I did. He didn't believe me. He said if he can't do them in his head, I'm cheating.

- Ridiculous. How can he fail you
for being smarter than he is?


That's what I said.
