Beggers and Bulls**ters

First off anyone who has asked for 5 should get to the nearest building and jump face first off the edge. However I have a quick question about the people who try to make bets on players in tourniments. I see it all the time. "3 to 1 on so and so outlasting this guy." Are the observers trying to place bets on people in the game just cons or are these legit? Some say they've been paid and paid when they lose but I feel like this is a quick way to get screwed. Is there a website i can check out where players reviews are up kind of like officialpokerrankings.com only for side bets?

Yes I hate tring to talk when watching mike or huck play online and i'll be chatting with them and then someone will start begging.
It is really frustraiting because then they stop chatting with me.
As far as the betting goes,I have made a few wadgers on observer chat but never have I been paid for them.
It is just a trust thing I suppose,but I doubt neone ever pays out on there.

Last longer bets in observer chat = bad.
Last longer bets in good forums = good.

Yeah I wouldn't trust props through internet chat. Live is a different story because the intimidation and respect factor is there...

Um, I've been meaning to ask. Are bets made within this forum allowed? can I for example wager someone on a bet as to who will make it further in the next WSOP, etc? Betting on a forum could be quite fun, as long as it's made between members who are respectable about paying.

would probably have to wait for a response from someone of a higher ranking. i would have to probably say that its not allowed but who knows, who am i haha

FWIW, I have never been stiffed in a Live Last Longer or Percentage Trade, and would never enter into an internet observer one...
