Bet Pushes

[equus]

sportsbook mods have had a few conversations and have decided that we will be doing away with the constant pushes as its recently just become an "all in then request push when it doesnt hit" type scenario.

if people go broke and need weekly refills we will explore that and most likely take that approach but as of late more bettors are taking the push route than utilizing a skilled approach and actually attempting to place good bets.

as always everyone is welcome to weigh in and give ideas to make this forum as fun as we can.

Good call

agreed. we want to keep people betting and having fun but if we all keep going all in and then push it if we lose then what's the point?

with the payouts/vstreaks/contests/total rounds there should be more than enough ways to keep everyone loaded with vcash and also keep some risk involved in the game

want to hear what the regular every day bettors have to say about this as well so people please chime in here

I am good with no more pushes.

Can we make bigger payouts for the "total rounds" threads? Not even sure what it is at now.lol

Not as deserving as the d12 payout but i think total rounds can use a bump in pay

I'm willing to dump back the gift you gave me. I don't want to sound hypocritical or a kiss ass of the mods.

But yea as a gambler the risk of loss is what makes winning at gambling so exhilarating and fun.

No man. That wasnt directed at anyone specifically. Its in general. Alot have weighed in that some all in on certain things once or twice a day then expect it. Its just not betting then. Again its about fun now but doing that all the times just silly.

I’ve been a regular bettor for about 7 months, and until late last month I had absolutely no idea that requested pushes were even possible until I read this thread.

That said, I don’t have any problem with no pushes since I’ve only known it as a possibility for all of three weeks.

Story of my life. I was just starting to get the hang of that and ready to start with the all-ins...

Believe it or not, but the Sherdog vbookie has kept me from going to the casinos and helped me focus on nursing school. Vbookie and an occasional hold em tournament 2-3x month helps me with my gambling itch.

I wouldn't have a problem with nixing the pushes.

It's actually only gone mad for a few weeks after a slow start a few more weeks prior to that or whatever, but not really for the rest of the season(s).
Better without, but I wish I'd gotten to $10M prior.
lol

I'll get there.

Didn't see this thread until after my all in Duke bet. I'm glad it panned out

Sorry to a few people who have voiced displeasure over last nights mma event being pushed on every event. That wasnt supposed to occur and it ended up being more than all the other pushes. Dont believe the mod who did it knew we werent doing more.

ouch

A heads up would have been nice so I could have capitalized on that insider information. I'm always last to know
