2 ) The points about this being like REAL gambling are valid and in real life you prolly wouldn't make
bets on fighters you know nothing about. (I could be wrong about this one)

3 ) If someone say can't log on to the website for say A WEEK, should that really be penalized? I mean
sometimes people go on vacation or have emergencies or just don't have the time to calculate their bets.

So......I don't know, what do you think about $1000 min bet on 8 fights this season, that's an average of a fight per week. And if you are under 8 at the end of the season you get penalized $1000 per fight you are under. so for example gambler X didn't bid on any fights to try and stay at 10k, he would lose 8k on the last day for not bidding. gambler Y bid on only 4 fights and decided to stop playing he would be penalized 4k at the end of the season.

What do you guys think of that?
yeah...make them bet....it will make it interesting....if someone wins big early and then decides not to bet for the rest of the session that would be boring...need to place a minimum and have bets on every fight to spicen things up.....that way no one will know who wins till the end.....(Hint: It won't be me... )
But thats the skill, while people are throwing say $1k bet here, a $1k bet therem u bide ur time, get a peach of a fight where they got Baldy 2-1 odds, throw in a bigg bet and walk away laughing - who whole "forced betting" would make this like a prediction contest..

+ like super said, if it wasnt for my high amound he would done things different and would still be in the running, so my high amount forced him to go in big, ona bet he wasnt sure of and didn't pay off forced betting will see u go out to early:P not going to be the cream of each w8 fighting each week saldy... but ah well forced bet or not i still pawn u all:P
