Great idea. I like all the recent updates. They keep the site fresh.

The most common use for this that springs to mind is the Metacritic/OpenCritic prediction threads that we often have on the site.

For example:

'Predict Borderlands 3's Metascore one week after launch'.

And then the creator of the thread sets the options like they would a poll, but now people can bet their VG$ on their guess being right.

I see another use for it: the bold prediction threads could now come with options for other users. Like will Breath of the Wild sell more than Mario Odyssey. Or a thread asking how much the PS5 will sell in the first full year. The option would cover good intervals for that. We had threads asking this stuff, now can people bet VG$ on their predictions.

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

This is a great idea!



Aswell as an option to see which thread has a bet active?

Edit: yes not as rigged as i assumed good to implement that 1000 max

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

@TalonMan: Small bug here. If I choose the date, the date picker is displayed below the footer:

I have Firefox 66.0.3 (64-Bit) on Linux and use the Blue theme.

With so many betting and gambling, maybe Talon woks for EA...?

Just kidding, this is an awesome feature, keep up the good work.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

This could actually be a great idea to get more activeness on vgchartz.
