Now why would the person who won the most be awarded top spot? Shouldn't it be the person who finished with the most cash at the end? Essentially, what you are doing is rewarding mediocrity through betting the most. You could win the most cash, simply by placing the most bets. It does not matter if you even win teh majority of your bets. Flawed system, but congrats Smizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Furthering my point: Say you have 2 gamblers: -1 bets 11 NFL games ever week, 100 dollars per game. Consistently he goes 6-5 vs the spread. Not bad, consistent and staying a little ahead. -The other bets 3 games every week.100 dollars per game. Consistently goes 3-0 every week. Apretty good feat. Which would you describe as the better bettor? Question-Why do we have the vcash available listed rather than vcash won in our profiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that Smizzy did finish with the most VCash. If that is not the case, I am sorry. But that was the goal all along. To pick the person with the most VCash.

Maxman Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Dierking -- you are right. You are 100% right. Smizzy is not the winnner. I used the wrong stat earlier. Scott Dierking has a total of 30605 JetFanFL has a total of 30281 Smizzy has a total of 30000 Ikeyman3 has a total of 7315 ThunderbirdJet has a total of 4710 Scott Dierking is the winner. Seriously, sorry about the confusion. I will contact you via PM and let you know about the excellent JN Merchandise that you have won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 What is my reward for having the lowest V-Cash. Another year of moderator at jetnation.? LOL.

Scott Dierking Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 It all seems, well, a little hollow now. To have the commissioner grab your "you made the playoffs letter" out from under your nose, makes you a little hesitant to get on the bus now. We had the lockers covered in plastic, awaiting a champagne spraying victory party, only to be told that we did not win at all. The plastic is down now, the players have gone home to their families, after mingling, meandering and wondering what had gone wrong. A few had vowed never to return. Replay worked in this instance, but can it ever grant what was taken away from us in that flash of euphoric glee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 When is the induction ceremony? Do I get to pick a guest presenter? Details to follow pretty soon. Here is what you need to do: 1. Pick out an outfit 2. Write a speech 3. Select the person you would like to introduce you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think the guy who gets paid out the most money from the Vbookie should be the winner but It was Maxmans call. In the message board sense this would work. Because you are encouraging the activity. To stick true to gambling form though it would be whoever had the most. Sure they could win early and sit on it. But others would have a fair shot at surpassing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
