New DU Forum Idea: DU Gambling

[NightWatcher]

In such forum we can finally put our money where our mouth is.


You claim that the bush tax cuts will be allowed to expire, saving us billions...let's bet on it.

You say we're going to have the troops out of ________ in ___ years....let's bet on it.

You think the Dow's going to go up today....let's bet on it.

You believe this month's job report will say that things are improving...let's bet on it.

You think we'll pick up how many seats in the next election....let's bet on it

You're sure that the teabaggers time has passed.....let's bet on it.





This forum would also allow us to stimulate our own little economy, make a few coins, and legitimize for some of us the hours upon hours we spend online.

In this forum we'd also dedicate daily threads to the greyhound races, celebrity death pool, and operation of a small OTB.

I will volunteer my services as Gaming Moderator and to ensure my impartiality, will receive a modest cash stipend.

What say you, who else is on board?

1. Great idea, I'll start......

......I'll bet $50 billion someone gets elected in the next election.

on edit: I know, I know, where am I going to get $50 billion? I'm putting on the national debt. With such a small amount, no one will notice.

2. I'll bet that if this is for money it's illegal

but if it was just for bragging rights no problem.

3. It's completely legal. I'll operate it from International Waters

in a converted shrimp trawler. Everyone can wire me their cash and I'll issue DUcoins that can be wagered with and cashed in.

Come on, don't be a chicken. You've got opinions, back it up with cash.

4. Huh? Skinner? Is that you?

I knew donations have waned of late, but dayum!

5. I'll bet you won't get your "modest cash stipend"

Or a gambling forum. Nice try, though. :evilgrin:
