Welcome to the first Casino of Boaring Wallow located in the Gentlemen's Club (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=170271), next door to the Builders of Boaring Wallow Incoroporated (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=166643). Here you may bet on events everyday. These events range from a variety of things, to demo-game related events to un-related events like sports games. Happy betting, and you know you'll always come back for more. We also now have a roulette table for anyone who wants to play!

The bets are open!

Current Betting Procudures:
You may bet up to 25 gold on sporting events.
You may bet up to 50 gold on demo-game related events.
You will be paid according to the set "odds."
The "odds" are regulated by Ice's Casino.
The more bets we recieve the higher the odds will be (yes that favors all bettors.)
Once you bet, you can not lose more than you bet, however you can gain more than you bet (obvious, but just letting everyone know, if they lose on high odds, it's the same as losing on low odds.)

Licentian Roulette
To play Licentian Roulette, you bet money on three numbers anywhere from 1 to 50. Using the great random number generator (http://www.random.org/nform.html) I will generate three numbers. You may bet anywhere up to 50 gold on these games.

If you hit one number, you win 2X the amount you bet.
If you hit two nubmers, you win 3x the amount you bet.
If you hit three numbers, you win 4x the amount you bet.

To play Licentian Roulette, you just post at any time, with your three numbers. I will reply to you shortly with the numbers generated and your winnings.

Todays Bet's:

Bet on anything on the World Cup, from win/loss to Henry scoring the first goal of the game. As long you keep your bets within reason I'll approve them.

You may bet up to 50 gold on demo-game related events.


Isn't this fraud-sensitive, like:
I would like to bet on our research path, since I control it ;)

Yeah we have to watch for fraud...for instance in the pub PBEM...players can not bet that another player would win.... TOO easy to influence that.

Betting on elections wont be cool either since people are involved. Betting which year we meet another civ and who that is..now that might be OK.

Yeh, demogame related also includes events, such as pbem's that happen in the demogame rpg. I have been asked not to open up bets on the Rebel Pub II PBEM, since there are bets already going. Also I am starting the first bets right now on American baseball games. All bets after the start of a game will be void.

yer plus no-one should be betting that your not going to win because ice would have had to immediatly cough up :p

Bets are now open and posted!

Licentian Roulette table now open!

ehm, are there going to be any non-american bets.
(The Soccer World Championships start in a week!! The (second?) biggest sport event on earth)

Yeah you should put in the World Cup. I am sure BC or Dutch can fill you in on a proper format.

sure I can.

I place 25 Gold on my Red Sox

(The Soccer World Championships start in a week!! The (second?) biggest sport event on earth)

I'm tempted to sign up to the RPG just to win lots of money: I predict England to lose to Germany on penalties :cry:

dont even tempt it...

Yes, I already was going to put the World Cup on bets. I'll just need some informants because I don't watch soccer.

Swiss you have won 38 Gold.

Thats right. SOX BABY!

Now will you report it to th bank, or should I?

the results can be found on the internet easily, but the odds can give some problems (or do you use bookmaker odds?).

Swiss, I report it to the bank.

Dutch, since it's a sports game they will probablly be using betting lines. I might convert all sports bets to betting lines because it's easier for me, but it may confuse other people. Chances are I'll probablly be using betting lines from Las Vegas.

You're confusing me already, what are betting lines?

Betting Lines work like this.

Instead of giving each team odds, you give the whole game a betting standard.

Let's say the Jets are playing the Chiefs. The Jets are a better team.
SO the betting would look like this:

Over: Jets
Under: Chiefs
Spread: 6

This means that if you bet on the Chiefs, and they lose by 6 or less, you still win.


I might however, jsut to make it simple do straight bets. Like you win whatever you bet, and there are no odds or no spreads.

spread won't work with soccer, a lot of games end with just one goal difference.
Straight odds can be done, but that would mean anyone would bet on the clearly better teams during the group fase.

Read Post #2 for betting on the World Cup.

Noone wants to play a little Licentian Roulette?

I Want 50 gold on England to beat Trinidad and Tobago On thursday, what are the odds on that?

1.5 to 1. England is heavily favored if I'm correct.

nooooo :mischief:

anywhoo 50 gold on them to win!

Ok 50 gold on England it is. In teh event of a tie however, I do win. You are betting on England winning, which means your betting against England losing or tieng :P

ok then, well its called 'drawing' but ok :D England are gonna win either way! :)

Sorry here in America we say tie! :P

Sorry here in America we say tie! :P


yer but you say 'soccer' as well so im not going to trust your footballing knowledge :lol: :p

I want to bet 10 gold that T&T doesn't lose against England :)
And 10 gold on Spain winning their next match against Tunesia.

The odds for oyur first bet are 2 to1.
The odds for your second bet are 1.5 to 1.

And yes BLCG, soccer here in America is barely a professional sport. Reason I don't say football, is because our football is like your rugby, but a little more organized in the sense of play making and the game-clock stopping.

+you wear pads....

Ahh that to.

BCLG you have won 75 gold.
Dutch you have lost 10 gold.

Dutch you have won 7 gold.

yeah!
I put that 7 gold on Germany going to the next round.

I would like to put 20 gold down on the Brew Crew to beat the Royals tonight. (According to Vegasinsider dot com, so do 94% of the people)

Dutch your betting odds are 2 to1.
George your betting odds are 1.5 to 1 (I mean it's pretty damned obvious the brewers will win.)

George you lost 20 gold. Close game to.

Crappy game. Should have won that one. Can't believe we then lost 2 of 3.

New strategy, I'll lay 40 down on the sCrubs to beat the Brew Crew on Monday. Either way I'm happy that way.

and ill put 100 on England to beat Portugal next saturday.

GeorgeOP the odds are 1.5 to 1
BCLG the odds are 1.5 to 1 (I mean c'mon, it's freakin England)

What kind of hijinks are those odds? The Brewers are 9 games better and our Ace is going.

Fine Ill give you 2 to 1, now get out of here you kid.

j/k. 2 to 1 it is though.

and ill put 100 on England to beat Portugal next saturday.

I hope they'll crush them.

GeorgeOP the odds are 1.5 to 1
BCLG the odds are 1.5 to 1 (I mean c'mon, it's freakin England)


hmm thats pretty poor odds, quite a lot of people are tipping Portugal after the way England have been playing and because Portugal beat the Dutch in that beat em up special last night :)

Well BCLG, 100 gold is a lot of jing. You have to remember, you lose, I get 100 gold, you win you get 150 gold. But I'll give you 1.7 just to be nice.

I was just joshing you Ice. I assume you got those odds from somewhere? Or where you just pulling them out of your butt?

Pulling them right out my ass. There really just based on how much money I have under the ol' matress. Keep the 2 to 1 though.

I hope they'll crush them.

:lol: You and 40 million worried English folk - at least we enjoy the advantage of tactical surprise, no-one stands a snowball in hell's chance of working out what our team and tactics will be...

Hey - what was with that whole Netherlands - Portugal thing? I was listening on the radio. "And now, live from Ceasar's Palace, the contest for football champions of the world, there'll be 2 rounds of 45 minutes each. In the orange corner it's the Netherlands and in the red corner it's Portugal..." :crazyeye:

If I was in the RPG and had any money, what odds would I get for Sven losing his cool and punching Big Phil on the nose? (It's OK, ice, as an American you don't need to answer that ;) I can only name one baseball coach and as he's based in the Bronx and you're in Brooklyn I probably risk having my nose punched as well :p )

Heh, I would be pm'ing BCLG or dutch for that one.

I'm curious though, what basbeball manager (coach) do you know of?

I'm curious though, what basbeball manager (coach) do you know of?

Joe Torres (I think he's head coach - unless he is called manager???) I do like baseball and watch a few games over the Internet since I visited NYC last June and saw a couple of Yankee games (and watched some softball in Central Park). It's got the same good mix of teamwork & one-on-one confrontation as cricket (though the pressure is on the pitcher in baseball and on the batsman in cricket). Baseball doesn't have the elegant craft of batting, but does have the huge advantage that it doesn't last 5 days and isn't likely to end in a draw cos they ran out of time anyway :)

The head coach is called a Manager in baseball. And the Yankees are just a bunch of overpaid hacks. So are the Red Sox. Watch someone else. (Accept the blue chicago team).

Joe Torres grew up a couple of blocks away from me, and I'm very familiar with him. Actually he runs a little league right by me.

But, eh LETS GO METS!!! Reyes is unstoppable and Wright is God.

Them are fighting words. I mean, i can understand why havingn to watch the Brewers would warp you like that, butt...

Ever since they won their WS by also buying players, everyone outside the NE lumps the Sox in with the Yanks now.

GeorgeOP you've lost 40 gold. (man you just can't win.)

Ice..going to run anything on the Tour De France?

The odds should be very high on everyone since so many people have been dropped due to drug allegations.

Yeh bets are open for every sport. Same rules as I'm doing for the world cup. The odds depend on how much money have in my account, since the money comes driectly from there.
