We've had things like Striker Mania and Prediction League in the last seasons, and at first they were quite active, but now there are only 5 people who are using those features. It wouldn't be worth the time and effort to start up yet another prediction thingy.

But this thing is different, it is like a poll, you place your bet and leave, once the game is over you are either richer or poorer. The whole thing does not recquire participation except from the Bookmaker.

    All these sub options are abundant on unibet, but only for CL games. The regular league games are just normal bets or bets on accurate result.

    Anyway, sites like unibet, betandwin, expect etc. have different tickers; they differ a bit but not by much. I suggest only one person should be allowed to create the event so that consistency be achieved.

    Another thing, when I used to do these threads on the other site, it was limited to single events only, can you check if the new vBookie has multiple bettings allowed? I don't think so, it gets complicated.

    As for the money, are you planning to grant all the members a certain amount of virtual dollars? If so, are you planning to create other events for members to gain money, we all know that betting will not be giving benefits all the time.

    Another thing that has nothing to do with betting, please don't add arcades, it is really distracting and the öevel of participation on the foum will drop drastically, I've wittnessed that several times.
    Nice to see one with a genuine interest, you're on the list. :)

    As for the money, yes each member will initially get 500 virtual dollars, not to be spent on hookers and booze. Betting only. :(

    That's nice :)

    But still my question stands, the 500 virtual dollars will be consumed in the long run even if one gets rich and wins in the beginning. I still think there should be events for injecting more money in the future.

    Yes, there's a feature called "Give to the poor" which means when you start a new event it automatically gives 25 virtual dollars to the losers who have spent all their money ;)

    Give to the Poor
    Use this to specify whether you want vBookie to make a charitable donation to your poorest members whenever there's a new Event to bet on. This means that whenever a new Event is added, anyone with less than 25 vCash (or uCash) is re-set to 25, so that people always have something to play with. By default this is off, so when the money runs out, that's it!

    Yes, it's completely virtual, you cannot buy anything, there are (should be) no moral issues involved. It's like Monopoly money.

    (though I once bribed my sister with real money to win a Monopoly game when I was young)

    That's a nice feature actually.

    Is this all 'virtual'? like literally. Because then it wouldn't conflict with my beliefs and I could perhaps do this as well.
    It is totally fake money, you can call them points if you want.

    Nice. Probably better than exhuming the prediction game! (which I've been attempting, and failing miserably, for the past couple of months).
