Oh, and I neglected to mention that with each share you purchase, you will receive a 50g credit to your special introductory account with the casino. These funds can be used for any wagers in the casino or purchases in the hotel, restaurant or gift shop.

So come stay the weekend with us and celebrate Gold Bluff style!

So can I get my Rhineland Fudge Cake? ;)

I believe there are still outstanding shares. If so, I would like 10 = 2000g I believe.

Gunning
Sold - 5g will be deducted from your credit balance.

the scantily-clad waitress (it is a casino afterall...) brings out an enormous piece of chocolate cake, seemingly large enough to feed a family of four...

<><><><><>

Padma
There are indeed shares available, and you now own 10 of them. Also, in appreciation for your investment, the casino will establish a special introductory account for you of 500g which can be used for any purchase or wager on casino premises.

Mmmm, thank you.

I was wondering if I could be the Hospitatlity Manager?

Why, Thank you, FortyJ! :)

I don't know how soon I can use it, though. RL beckons. Make that RL demands, insists, threatens, etc. The next 60+ hrs will be all tied up.

I'll buy 10 more.

40J: are there anymore stocks left, since I am interested in buying whatever is left :).

If I did my math right, there should be 4 left.

I'm back :king:

I would like to buy the remaining 4 shares of the GBC stocks :)

Welcome Back Gonzo. I trust the honeymoon went well? ;)

<><><><><>

Gunning, this note confirms the sale of 10 shares to you. In appreciation for this investment, I have added an additional 500 credits to your personal account. These credits are available for purchases or wagers anywhere in the casino.

CivGeneral, your math is correct and you now own an additional 4 shares. In appreciation for this investment, I have added an additional 200 credits to your personal account. These credits are available for purchases or wagers anywhere in the casino.

40: are you doing anything super bowl? If so, ill wager 200g (of my 550 credit) on the Bucks

I bought 21 shares.... How many credits do I have?

@strider: # of credits x 50. 1050 for you

Regrettably, I haven't had the time to put much into the Super Bowl this year (personal conflicts...). However, I will accept all wagers on the game.

Current odds:
Raiders by 9-1/2 points
Over/Under (total points scored by both teams) is 44 points

The casino reserves the right to change these odds before kickoff.

All wagers (limit of 500g per wager) will be accepted on either bet up until kickoff of the game.

Current Wagers:
Raiders (- 9 1/2) vs Bucs
Stuck 200g on Bucs (+ 3 1/2)
Strider 500g on Raiders (- 3 1/2)
CivGeneral 100g on Raiders (- 3 1/2)
wtiberon 250g on Raiders (- 3 1/2)
Stuck 250g on Raiders (- 6 1/2)
CivGeneral 150g on Raiders (- 6 1/2)
WildFire 444g on Raiders (- 6 1/2)
Chieftess 50g on Bucs (+ 9 1/2)
Plexus 200g on Bucs (+ 9 1/2)

Over/Under (44)
wtiberon 500g on Under
gunning 200g on Under
Plexus 100g on Over

<><><><><>
Note: The casino charges a 5% management fee on all winning wagers.

I will take the Under: 500 gold

I will also take the Raiders at -3 1/2: 250 gold

I'll wager 500g (of my credits) on Oakland(the raiders).

I would take Over

Ill bet 100g (my Credits) for the Raiders

Effective as of this post, the line on the Super Bowl is now Raiders by 6-1/2 points. Over/Under remains at 44 points.

Can I place a second bet (250) on the Raiders? (to keep it even)

I would like to place a second bet on the raiders
150g (Of my own money, if possible), - 6-1/2 points

EDIT: Changed the "6-1/2 points" from a positive value to a Negative value. Thanks 40J for catching this :).

I bet 444 on the Raiders

Well then.... Let's see what this does...

Effective as of this post, the line on the Raiders/Bucs Super Bowl is now Raiders by 9-1/2 points.

Meanwhile....

I have chosen Chieftess and CivGeneral as Casino Managers. They will be responsible for managing the games inside the online casino (#goldbluffcasino). Employment contract lasts for one term and is renewable each successive term. Position pays 10% of all casino winnings.

These individuals now have full authority to accept wagers on behalf of the casino, subject to review and approval by me.

I have not yet decided on the Hospitality Manager position. All interested candidates, please PM me or post in this thread your ideas for generating business in the Hotel, Restaurant and Gift Shop.

Ok, 200 on under.

Ok, I think I know what I'm doing... :)
I place 50g that the bucs will win by 5 points. (?)
50g on over.

I'd like to open a 500g account.
100 gold on over

40J, I suffered a humiliating loss, defeat, whatever in 1505. I thought I was going to lose by a UN vote, but I never got a chance to vote. I didn't much like being stuck on an island. I like room to grow.

Cyc
Me neither... The inept manservant that generated that starting position is long-since fired from the casino.... Hopefully, his replacement will learn from that lesson and make sure that the next game is more enjoyable for all.

Sorry I've been gone(from here and chat) I've been busy plus I'm trying to get my chat client working again(damn thing keeps breaking..)

I've been playing it, and I must say... It's a nice island. ;) I'm pretty much on my way to domination. (Then again, you're playing against the tournament moderator. :floppa: )

I just started playing the GBC Challenge :). I hope that I can mix my play time with both the GBC Challenge Game and the Tourny :).

Huntington, Fanatika - The casino management has announced today that it has struck a deal with the New Fanatikan Football League (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44241) to serve as a medium for their games.

Results of the league's games will be broadcast from the #goldbluffcasino chat room and some games will even be broadcast live! Stockholders will be pleased to hear that the casino will be compensated for there involvement in this endeavor and the casino will be providing odds and lines along with numerous other wagers on the games which will further enhance casino profitability.

Come find out the score at the sea shore, only at the Gold Bluff Casino!

There has been some talk about the next version of Play The World and when it will be released. To add fuel to this fire, the casino has started accepting wagers on this topic.

And the wager is...

What Version Number will the next patch contain (current version is 1.14f, I believe...)?

All wagers will be accepted. Simply post the amount and your prediction for the patch number in this thread. The winner will receive the entire pot*. If more than one person selects the winning version number, then they will split the pot* evenly.

Wagers will close the day before the patch is released. For example, if the patch is released on a Friday, then no wagers will be accepted after 11:59 EST Thursday night.

<><><><><>

* total available pot = sum of all wagers less 10% house fee.

No offense intended to those citizens who favor the GMT time zone, but since Firaxis is a company whose headquarters are located in EST, I figured it would be better to use that time zone.

And just what is to stop me from wagering one gold piece, winning, and taking the entire pot of the saps who bet more? ;-) What benefit is there to betting more money?

Good point... I was originally thinking that the pot would be divided proportionately between the winners, meaning if you bet 1g on a certain number and somebody else bet 9g on the same number and that number was the winner, you'd get 10% of the pot and the other person would get 90%.

However, upon further reflection, I think I'd rather make it a set price per bet... and allow unlimited bets, so...

The wager is hereby changed as follows:

You may "purchase" a choice for 50g. Each choice can be used for a single number (ie. 1.14f). You can also purchase up to 10 choices. Winnings will still be distributed amongst the winners in the event of a tie.

50g on 1.15! and another 50g on 1.18!

50 g on 1.22 :)

50g on 1.21 :D

50 on 1.19 and 50 on 1.21

Huntington, Fanatika - The management is pleased to announce the temporary hiring of NFFL Commissioner Veera as a new manager in the casino.

Veera will be responsible for handling all wagers related to the NFFL games on behalf of the casino. Welcome aboard.

If you wish to reach Veera concerning the upcoming games, you can find her in the Royal Suite here at the casino. She'll be staying here all week for the opening ceremonies for the NFFL.

Alrighty, I'm ready to open betting on tomorrow's game between the Valhalla Spirits and the Bohemia Bakers! I've done a bit of research into Sports Betting odds, and I believe I've come up with a system that will be fair to all betters, and to the house.
In this match, after taking into effect Statistics and Abilities, the odds slightly favor the Valhalla Spirits. The betting odds are as follows:

Spirits 100:112
Bakers 100:132

This means that for every 100 gold pieces you bet on the Spirits, you will earn 112 if they win
For every 100 gold pieces you bet on the Bakers, you will earn 132 if they win
Betting is OPEN! Place your bets before the game begins tomorrow (Saturday, Feb 15) at 6 PM EST.
Please remember that the Gold Bluff Casino fee is 10% of every winning bet.

Ummmm.... Veera.... We're going to have to have a little discussion concerning betting odds. ;)

I used the betting odds used by casinos... 'Course, the problem comes from the fact that those odds assume there are people betting on *both* teams ¬_¬

It's official! The new PTW patch is out and it is version #1.21F!

Here's the breakdown:
Name Amount On...
Stuck As a Mac 50g 1.15f
Stuck As a Mac 50g 1.18f

Keep in mind, that you can pick multiple teams (at 100g each) in the Pick Your Pony wager. However, all entries must be in before first tip-off on the 20th.

Also, in the Weekend Warrior wagers, late entries (ie. next weekend) will be accepted, but those players will start with 0 points. So, it's better to participate from the start.

I'll do the thing for Kentucky and Missouri. :)

I'll go for south california and california. :)

Well, Missouri won!!!! :D

You're still alive in the Pick Your Pony wager. But, as far as the Weekend Warriors wagers is concerned, I do not recall receiving anything from you on that particular wager. Feel free to join in this week if you like. The points will continue to increase, so you will have a chance to win even by starting at this late date.
