okiN's bookmaking

[gazda]

Well, we already have the market, which works on the exact same principle, so...

getting rich trough marketplace takes way more time and awareness while here you would get richer and richer with every day, if there would b interest in something like this

[Gnjus]

I have enough of a stake right now to cover bets of around 5k (assuming a few dozen bets per event), that's enough for me to see how this whole thing works out.

5k ? My horse's pile of shit is worth more, especially if i feed him with crazy mushrooms that you can recycle, I might as well open a bookie's place on my own with people betting on whether his next poo is gonna be hard or liquid.

[okiN]

Good luck with that.

You say that like there's no risk on my end. Even with a slight overround, I still need to fix the odds right or I might be facing huge losses. I'm not going to be magically making massive profits on each book regardless of what I do.

[gazda]

make the odds right and you shall prosper well if there are fools that will bet, good luck

Have you seen the film "Bad Lieutenant"? It stars Harvey Keitel as a bent cop who, among other things, plays bookie to his friends on the force, conning them into placing what he thinks are bad bets while he bets their stakes against them with a mob bookie -- guess how he ends up. Point being, even the house can lose.

Anyway, I've had an offer of financial backing (no strings, score!), so I could easily raise the maximum bet to 10k now, maybe even 20k depending on how it goes. However, I'm still not sure if it's worth doing given the response. Need more punters!

Anything that gives me a chance to earn faster money than I do by playing is supported by me.

I'll bet on myself and become rich.

okiN, I admit that you managed to remind me of my plans. I planned to make a lottery, and finally - here it is!

Not anymore.

How much money are we talking, here? You got a few million on hand?

Anyway, I'd still be the one doing all the work, so 50-50 is out of the question. If you bankroll me with a significant amount, I could maybe offer you 10%. And no guarantees, obviously. Like I said, it's an experiment.

Such big words from such a poor squire. Do you even have 200000 chadzian coins in your stash?

No, I don't have couple of millions to invest in your project. But I can give you one million of these:

Anyways, my share would be 20%, or I could lend you money but you'll have to pay interest rates. What do you say, deal or no deal?

I have that much, and no deal. Like I said, I already have someone who offered to lend me money for this without even asking for a cut.

[Logen]

Sounds interesting.

Okin you're Nord but your ideas pretty much quite good..

Since betting thing has potential I'll give you advice, for free!

Try cooperating with Dezi to start duel thing working which I also find quite awsome..
Way you could help Dezi is to give fighters some cash.. most of ppl find dueling unattractive but for some fair amount of cash for fighters (like 5k or 10k each for fight) you could get that started.. also when fighter wins duel you reward him with few thousands...

It's all about money and we all know how much turks wants to bet since it's forbidden in Turkey..
