There's no legal issues I think, it's not real money.


But if you think the 4/4 is on fire thread was hot, wait until people place large bets on a game that is rigged from the start.

It would be much less obvious now. A sole tweak to tactics, and his wing eats your guy for breakfast. You go collect the money.

Can't bet on your own games, you say? Look up quid pro quo.

For sure there is no legal issues! Just a game! You can shoot zombie when you're twelve. And it is internet which is pretty much boundless

However if you scared of cheating, there is a couple of reason why they won't:
1st we're talking about the 20th best manager, who arrived here mostlikely without cheating or they 'll have been caught and ban already (hopefully). Most of those player are Senior player well known

2nd by having just the 1st division you can really check up on this games constantly ( changing tactic suddently, Buying shit player)

3rd You should of course not allowed them to wages on their own games

4th Having a quotation for exemple: 1.35 Manchester- 0.70- Olympique de Marseille 2.00 you make sure that the loss will always be limited (its just an example of course but if you like to bet online you know what I mean)

More coming up, awaiting for suggestion

It'd have to be monitored and restricted, could be easily abused, even among the people in div 1 to make everyone some money.


Do you have anything in mind?

Because there are people who cheat with transfers, there are people who don't know the rules very well get banned all the time. And there are accusations quite a bit too (personally, I think it's a bit silly, but...)

Think of those same people (the ones who cheat on purpose) with gambling... scary.

I think it would be fun, but I'm pretty sure it would get out of control (with the cheating and the banning). Both with people cheating, and people accusing others even when they did not cheat (a bug in the game causes a wacko score, etc).

hmm...i think that will cause many problems
if 3 teams or more make triangle(1 vs 2 and 3rd team bet on fixed match,than 1 vs 3 2nd bet e.tc)
odds should drop too
if there are too many bets on one team

i think it will kill fair play a little

like bookies killed soccer

maybe if they make gambling with GB it will be fun
ex.
1st place at the end of season 500 GB
2nd 300 GB e.t.c
this way were there are no money involved will be ok
its little unfair with money

maybe managers will need to pay lets say 10GB and at the end of season GB split to winners like in PL money model

if you will allow betting, i suggest it be only for div 1 teams when they exist. It will be easier to control cheating.

But even with that it will be next to impossible to tell when a game was rigged. Its not too easy to spot minor tactical changes, and you cant blame a manager for trying out some strategies and losing.

The concerned manager will not get gain or lose anything except what he used to get generally.... Only the people who had made bets on their teams will have profit or loss..... This way all the managers can make/lose money quite rapidly.... N I suggest top managers to make some changes from time to time.. So that no clear winner will be seen as such and that make the betting quite interesting.. It should not be the case that after 10 league matches, 1 or 2 managers leading the table with all 10 wins... It should be like 7-8 win max n 3 wins minimum.... Balance should be there....
