If you don't like it, go back to the video game forums and don't bet on sports.

You guys like the current system. You are familiar with it and think its easier for you. Great. Thats your opinion.
That doesn't mean someone who thinks it could be better or more inclusive and identifies visible flaws in the system is going full potato or is a dumbass.
People can have differing subjective opinions and valuations.

The idiotic crusade against logic continues.
Something is "straightforward" so its automatically valid?

Its a false dichotomy. I am perfectly capable of staying here and voicing concerns, and do not have to "leave" if I dont like it.

Its pathetic statement made by simpletons. A classic argument by dismissal fallacy.

Must a statement be complex for it to be valid? Or is simple and straightforward the way to go?

Kind of like the betting rules, they are simple and straightforward. In your mind you must think that complex makes "things" better but in reality simplicity is the way to go

It can be either complex or straightforward. The complexity of its wording does not determine whether its a valid argument.

Your last sentence is merely an opinion that I disagree with. Simpler is not always better.

The hockey forum has some rules that make more sense and are still fairly simple and black and white.



"the OP has to confirm the bet for it to count"
Notice they don't say the confirmation has to be in the form of "confirmed" only.
And it goes over a few points of contention that could otherwise be grey areas if not covered.

Stating a bet in someone else's thread is considered autoconfirming also makes sense.
They posted they wanted the bet with that person.

Cam... in case you wonder why we made confirmed as a must thing in a bet, was because people overbet which led to more welches (intentional or not). And like many already said, our system has way less loopholes than the system before. Basketball section isn't comparable to Hockey due to way bigger population in here which leads to potential higher amount of welches. Plus people pay more attention to Basketball rather than Hockey so they first come here and see what it do.
