OK - so there have been some changes as to the Sports Book and we are trying to feel our way through. One issue is the resetting of ROD dollars and how that all plays in. The other is that we have new people (myself included) trying to figure out the process. As we are all volunteers here, we don't have a lot of time away from our normal lives to get things going. It is supposed to be just a fun thing that is part of the site so I would urge patience.

The resetting of ROD dollars is probably the simplest thing to rationalize. It was getting virtually meaningless for the most part and it was reset with the goal being that we could do something that would be a true reward for a winner each season. Sorry if some lost huge amounts of fake assets but we either had to do something or just let members pile up meaningless numbers. There still isn't an end goal there yet but I think it will end up being fun for everyone who participates.

The Sports Book is a bit more complicated in that it will take some time for us to get up to speed and maybe select a couple other members to help keep it going. It may not seem like it but there is actually a fair amount of work involved and it will take some with the time and will to keep it going. I really appreciate the one so far that we have asked to help but keep in mind that he also has a life and is new to this. I can't thank him enough for sticking his neck out to help.

If you feel you were robbed, I would take it up with the SEC and see where that gets you.

Short story - we are working on it and will have it figured out soon.

An aside - I was never too fond of the idea of betting on who we cut. These are guys with careers on the line and that betting line never set very well with me. So you can blame me for deciding that that particular bet didn't need to be paid out. I actually was just going to delete it anyway. That is on me completely. As it was, there was no way of determining a winner as two cuts happened simultaneously.

So if you're that good at building fortune, you will no doubt be able to do it again.

Ditto's Bro! I feel your pain!

The "Assets" were NOT fake or meaningless to those of us who EARNED them!! And a bet "Wagered, and Taken" should be PAID!!

I have defended my decision not to pay out on this bet elsewhere, but I will do it once again in this thread.

There wasnt a definitive winner in the "Next Rams Cut' book. The team announced the releases of both Jake Long and Scott Wells at the same time, there by making both of those bets non-winners seeing as though neither player was released prior to the other. And since these two players were simultaneously released, the bet of "Other" is there by null and void, since 2 players previously named in the book were released. It was suggested that both the Wells and Long bets be paid off to settle it, but that is like betting on 2 football teams to win the same game, it cant happen. Now, if some member here can get in contact with the listed players agents, or the players themselves, and find out EXACTLY what time they were released, and determine a winner, then go right ahead and share that info with the board here. I am sure there are about a dozen other folks that would like to know


And even if I did settle the bet, that would have been more ROD $$$ that were have been unceremoniously stripped from your accounts on the reset,making you folks even more pissed off than you are now.


I have been filling in at the Sports Book desk for about a week now. I did not set up that book and had to work closely with the mods to get the book assigned to my name just so I could settle it and start with a fresh slate. At this point in time, I wish I left the bet alone.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go spend about an hour doing the book for todays hockey games, which most will not receive bets on them, but if I don't put them up, some people will complain.

Did you you even look and see who posted the question 503? LOL.

@LACHAMP46 I think they paid out the winners THEN did the reset. That's how these guys roll.
For those sitting at the back of the class (ahem Les) that was a response directed at the subject itself - not necessarily at LA or anyone else but more to the topic.

Quite frankly, I'm just stunned that we are still talking about it. Maybe I'll put up a new bet in the Sportsbook. First person to get banned for not letting this subject go. And the subsequent bet, how many people will be banned over fake money.

I would really hate to see some of our most dedicated members here banned because of this.

Are you into litigation, or debt settlement Rhody? I'm reading you like a lawyer...seriously....
