  • A Raptors Republic Betting Option?

    I suppose it would be an administrative nightmare. But maybe there's software around?

    It would be cool if members got - say - 100 "chips" and could make bets on future prospects. The likelihood of trades or draft picks. Win projections.

    Or maybe it would be better without "chips". Just some threads where, like polls, one could only make one entry but where there was a deadline for predictions.

    Will DeMar be a Raptor at the trade deadline? At the start of next season? What does he sign for, if he signs? And what is his 3-pt. % for next year?

    There could be thousands of betting/prediction topics, though. So ... problems.

    Maybe someone else might have a better idea about how to do it. Or maybe it's done somewhere else already?

    But I'd like to go "head-to-head" with some of you. I really would

      I worked 6 years for OLG & AGCO before cracking the sports industry....the short form is- the legality to setting something like that up would be a nightmare for RR as it would have to be based out of an Indian reserve unless its in partnership with an established provider which would requires a licence which RR will not receive. sportsbooks are illegal in Ontario unless regulated by OLG (pro-Line). No matter how its sets-up unless its not nothing but bragging rights and not monetary value, RR would be under serious violations.

        Wait I don't think Wild-Ling is talking about real money.

        Like fake "chips" that would show up like under your post count. I've seen that before it's actually pretty fun.

            There are several 'bragging rights' type threads that have polls (ie: predict # of Raptors win this season), and the polls can have cutoff times. Feel free to start new threads for these types of ideas.

                Ok - so a poll and a cut-off time. Cool. Could it be arranged to keep track of "poll wins"?

                Long-term, ongoing "bragging rights"

                Maybe have an annual polls winner.

                Which would mean some sort of authorization process for "official" ... "challenge polls"?

                Would be nice to have some sort of prize, too. A thread recording the poll standings with the Avatar of the challenge-poll leader (and signature) kinda'-thing would be good, right?

                I'm sure the Admins/Mods are busy. I might be persuaded to help with this. I might have another idea or two as well.

                  Yes, It's cool to see some betting options to earn money and prizes. I have been betting since 2016 and learned betting skills to become more successful in this field. I have joined bparley where that is an online betting website offering Free NBA picks today

                        There are several places where you can bet. I don't think this would be the best idea for them. This isn't the purpose of the forum. Besides, the website's traffic is declining. Is it worth it for them to complicate their lives just like that? Nah. You could try bettinggods.com, for example, or many others. There are literally thousands that have the features that you're looking for. I'm still looking for the best one to bet on, but so far, I'm pleased with what I found. The key is the strategy, man.

                          Man, there are an incredible amount of "places" where you could actually bet or gamble in general. I have placed my first ever bet back when I was 16 years old. I still remember, it was a soccer game, as it was 2010 and a Fifa World Cup was taking place. I have won that bet, and I liked that really much, that is exactly why I started to do it on constant basis. Mostly I have been betting and playing poker on https://biggreenweek.com/ as their betting features are really amazing, while the odds are probably the best ones!
