Vbookie Weekly Challenge March 31st -April 6th

Vbookie Weekly Challenge March 31st -April 6th


After a successful opening week of the challenge, I will be doing another week of events for the upcoming week's challenge. Of course with anything that's new there will be some trial and error. My intention of these challenges is to get more members active in the vbookie section and earn some vcash. Vcash is not really used for anything, but it would be nice if the site allowed glowing colors, or some other modifications such as to pay for sigs and avatars. With that being said this is strictly for entertainment.

However I will be changing up the scoring some what for those of us that do place bets on outcomes. The following is how points will accumulated for the event:

Correct Point/Run Spread = 2 points
Correct Over/Under = 2 points
Correct Favorite = 1 point
Correct Underdog = 4 points


I'm opening myself up for a lot of work by doing these events and would like to think that I do not have to police members bets on the outcomes of these events. There were people that try to abused the system by betting on every possible outcome which will not be tolerated. I will remain allowing to bet more than once on a an event, but with that said and common sense
  1. you may only bet on either the over and not the under vice versa
  2. the favorite and not the underdog vice versa
  3. and the spread for plus and not the minus vice versa.


Again this is strictly to garner more interest in the vbookie section and make it a little more exciting to place bets. I am always open to suggestions, but again this is already a lot of work for pure entertainment purposes so please take that into consideration.

After watching some games today, I realized that there might be those that would bet a single vcash dollar or a small amount on some of the underdogs to simply earn points and somewhat cheat the system yet again. I really do not want to police this thing, so if we are going to bet on events please at least bet 100 or more so bets remain somewhat respectable.


Code:
1. HustlinOwl: 13 points 2. ApocalypseMan: 4 points 2. gtaspecialist12: 4 points 4. SG_Cigaro: 2 points 4. zack54attack: 2 points

Re: Vbookie Weekly Challenge March 31st -April 6th

so why should i bet will this fix the way my avatar looks by wining vcash?
so how many bet can you place per game like the underdog to win, bet the under on points, who makes the spread? you? and are you banned from betting on your events?
and do you still win the 5000 for the overall best record?

This will not fix you avatar looks for now, but future I do not know.

As far as how many bets per event, you may bet up to 3 outcomes. Read what I wrote above in "RED"

Spreads I either get off bet365 or betus.com.

Why would I do these events if I was not able to bet on them LMFAO.

Yes I won the 5000 for last weeks challenge thanks to Zimmerman and the Nats

Your avatar is probably like that because of the picture you don't have any disadvantage under anybody else

Book: Right click the picture wherever you have it saved. It's probably like 60x60 by the looks of it.
