I was looking for someone who didn't live in the states, but nobody other than US people applied.

ah what, you took applications? lmao, missed that

with football (not "soccer") i would advice picking just the champions league games as there isnt to many europeans here, well definatly not enough to focus on individual leagues. not got a clue with rugby on a club level, maybe just include some international games for us to bet on.

not that this is related to sport but closer to the time how about doing something like a bet for whats going to be xmas number one or something like that? could be funny .

Congrats Ranger and Ooga.


A couple of American sports you may have forgotten about
-NHL (Just started)
-NASCAR (Almost over)
-College Basketball (Starting soon)
-Golf (Not sure how this could be encorporated)

Not to worry, just because we haven't mentioned it doesn't mean we have forgotten about it! But yes keep bringing up ideas and sports or topics you would like to see up there, your input helps! I've talked to ranger a little bit about NHL and NASCAR and we may do certain games pending on request. Golf I'm also not sure how that could be encorporated as there are usually what... 140 or 170 golfers to start each tournament? , but maybe a year round thing we could have going instead of individual tournaments. I know the Ryder Cup we can and will definitely have the golfing events. My girlfriend goes nuts for college basketball (don't know why, she's a Syracuse fan) so I'm sure we can add those too if people request them. College basketball has in fact already started this past week.

Let's all remember that this is a brand new hack. Not everything is going to be included right at first. The Bookies have agreed to keep track of European sports to help people who don't live in the states be able to bet too.

let me add this too, right now we have 2 bookies. If this is as popular as i think it will be, then we will prolly add 1 or 2 more bookies to help cover as many events as we can.
Right now the members can help out by letting the bookies know what games they would like to see covered. Doesn't mean all will be at first, but it helps them build up to what
people would like to see.

Fair enough you say that they will have european events as well but i bet my hat that it's 90% American events and 10% European events. Which really aint fair!

What would you like us to do? If you were so worried about European sports being added then why didn't you apply for the position?

It's new. Some things will be added sooner than others. We are trying to make it as fair as possible for everyone. But things don't happen overnight.

I will be putting on all of Saturdays Football League Championship games tomorrow morning once I view the results of tonights games into consideration of the odds. There's 11 events right there that you guys can bet on! I can also do the Premier League if you wish, but I need your guys feedback and suggestions! Vinnie mentioned the Championship League games so those will all be on there. If there's something you want, please PM me, send me a message on MSN, on here, whatever and I'll put it up! I'm off to class at the moment but you can easily contact me and tell me what teams/sports you want to see up there tomorrow to bet on for this weekend.

why didn't i apply.... hmmm maybe because like u said people who applied who already had positions didn't get them because u wanted to spread the wealth.....

i'm not asking for things to happen overnight.... i'm just saying that it isn't fair to have a load of U.S events and not cater in the same way for the non-americans amongst us. i just think things should be equal for everyone and not have americans getting advantages because of who's a bookie....

@ ooga premier league is the top league and so more people are likely to have an idea about those games rather than the championship which is the the league below....

Nope sorry this is NOT true. I never said anything about that till AFTER the picking was done. If you go back and read this post :

You will see that right from the start i was thinking we needed someone OUTSIDE of the US to help run this and keep it so EVERYONE has a fair shot.

I agree it's not fair to have it all US sports. That is why we are trying to get European sports listed and followed.

i know u said it after.... i just assumed it would be the case and it is...

don't get me wrong i'm happy with who has been appointed... just want to make sure everything is fair for everyone by having the european sports/events on an even parr with the american ones...

[Mr President]

I have set up different categories for each sporting event. now instead of having to go through a list of all of them, you can select NFL, or college football or Nascar ect ect to see what bets are being offered. This should make it a little easier for everyone to keep track of all the offered bets.

Each week after the event has taken place and the payouts granted, all the old ones will be deleted and new one will be added. This should save some
server space.
