no, the reason betting isnt supported is because its not scam proof
the lottery cannot scam you
besides
if you win
you cant buy irl stuff anyway
Trading isn't scam proof either, yet it is supported. (Which for the 20th time has nothing to do with this thread.) Donor forums have no relevancy here either.

Borderline flaming? I'm simply trying to put it into a simple little idea that you can wrap your mind around. It seems that you believe that if you suggest something, which has been suggested a seemingly innumerable amount of times, that just because someone of importance said that this or that is illegal, that automatically something will happen. You either spend all of your time in the Sports forum, or don't browse much at all period. If you've even taken a MINUTE to look around at some of the comments the people in power have made, you'd probably have a dozen more suggestions like "stop admins from making subtle flames in pre-suspension comments!," and so on.
I have no interest in flaming you, or anyone else for that matter. I'm just trying to say that this suggestion is a waste of time on both your part(for posting it) and mine(for trying to reason with someone who is unwilling to be open to it).
You're calling me dense because I don't agree that I should just sit back and let things be. You're accusing me of bitching when all I've done is civily debate this point. You say you have no interest in flaming me, but all I can get out of your posts is that you're calling me stupid. Stop assuming things about me and stop posting in this thread. You're not offering anything constructive and are just wasting my time.

It would say that the site only supports gambling in the form of the official lotto system set up.
Why do they need to take an all or nothing stance?
By saying gambling is not supported by anyone except the lotto system, the stance is set and done.
If the site supports any gambling at all, they still support gambling. There's no way to say that they don't support gambling with an official forum lottery.

ok let me help you by support they mean
they aren't going to waste time mediating/tracking these bets
with the lottery no need to have a med/trusted waste their time because its automatic
That makes no sense. If they weren't going to do that, then they wouldn't support trading either. So, no, that's not what they mean.

NN for hostility, mate. "thereby preventing them from continuing to welch" I guess that explains why noone ever gets scammed in the trading sections anymore

As long as there is greed, there will be scams. I was only saying that in the betting ground there is that factor, but in relation to the raffle, there is not

It wasn't hostility. I don't know why you brought up the Sports Coliseum forums, since this has nothing to do with that. It's not like they're saying they don't support betting because of the scamming issue. Besides, betting communities are much smaller than the trade forums, so adding mediators there would greatly help stop welching.

Let me make this clear: I am NOT attempting to get betting supported. Stop using it as reasoning in your posts as it has no relevancy.Quote (GaArRy @ Wed, Mar 18 2009, 01:22am)
Betting = User vs User
Raffle = User vs System
Which is reliable? And which is not?
And trading is just as reliable as betting. Stop making me repeat that.
