Not up to me but the BoD but this has been hinted at in previous threads
so if its no good delete it. thx
but for the gambling we need some rules
1. like only use small amounts like max 50 svalbards on all bets .
(this will stop ppl getting one win and racing ahead of everyone else.)
2. no odds only win/loss and if you loss you loss your svalbards (this to teach you not to be to free with them)
3. any sporting games/event from arl to emmys to f1
4. have a betting ring for etqw for the finals (matches/season)
Then we have to put an age restriction on the team ,and kick out the younger members.
There will be no gambling section of the site, for svalsbards, or otherwise.
People goto rehab for gambling issues, just as much as they do for drug issues. Should we have a drug glorification section of the site as well? If we have a gambling section, then we should.
Gambling problems tear families lives apart, waste money, set a bad example for your children.
You can gamble your life, money, lungs away all you want. It is your choice, that is apart of life, having your choice to do with your mind and body what you want to. That does not mean you don’t have to accept the consequences, you can dodge them all you wish, but they are there, and they will reach you one way or the other.
You however, have no right to do the same to others. Influence. You don’t want me standing in front of you and your children, sticking a needle of harry into my arm. I don’t want you standing in front of me wasting your money or whatever away, setting a bad example for myself, the team, and yourself.
Yes, I know it is all in fun. But it starts with Quatloos. However, it seems apparant that you, or most others here, have not been to a rehab place, and have not seen what happens to people who develop gambling problems. It is no better or worse then those with serious drug problems.

im just going by what has been done over the last few weeks 1 2
and not all gamblers are problem gamblers some ppl can go out spend what they want and then stop
yes i do know that some ppl do have problem with gambling and yes they should seek help with it but everything in moderation
how that is your opinion and it is your right to share it
also good to see you back. :)
The reason why I originally left home when I was younger, was because my father was raving gambling addict drug addict lunatic, In order to feel safe in my own home I had a loaded crossbow with a 2 pound thumper bolt locked and loaded, secured in my room for the next psychotic episode. He had the Oz version of SWAT called on him twice.
Sad, but true.
Anyhow, my father is still a gambling addict, and a drug addict, and has lost the friendship of not only his own family members, but also their support. That’s his own fault and he bloody well knows it.
Wierdly I don’t have any problems with gambling, I’ve got a simple rule that controls my blood, never more than $50, and never more than 3 times a year. Funnily enough i’m running a profit at the moment. I’m about $800 in the black with respect to gambling (I keep a running total).
I dont really consider svalbard betting gambling, its more like putting a bet on the melbourne cup.
But, if anyone has a problem with gambling, and feels that we can’t play around with our hard earned svalbards, then please speak now or forever hold your peace.

Have to agree with Matt
