lol, you only throw it away if you suck at predicting. But if you are worried about losing VG$ and want to predict, try going to any game page for games that haven't released and clicking on this giant image

I approve of your post non-gravity

Also, make sure you enter next week, as that will be madden week.

If you would just update the round from two weeks ago, I might have some MONEY to bet in this round!

I see $717 in your account. More than enough to bet in this round. When I first started betting I always had VG$0 every wednesday morning

Due to the hard work of DB admins, we now consider you a casual DB worker unless you've amassed 20k

First, I think it is a waste as a lot of bets couldn't be automated. Unless a moderator people like kirby with their army of alts would just funnel VG$ into their main account.

Secondly, if you make a bet, you shouldn't be able to hold onto your VG$. It gets thrown in holding until a winner is announced. This is essentially how all betting works. If you didn't take the money ahead of time, who knows if you'd still have it to pay up later.

Maybe restrict it to people with 5000+ posts?

So... you're saying add a feature that can't be used by over 90% of the forum users?

I've decided I'm not going to bet with a pathetic amount like $700, especially in such an unpredictable round- 4 new games! SingStar is easy enough, but I have no idea how well GI Joe will sell. I'll wait until Madden Week, and then make a HUGE bet (because hopefully by then I'll have around $2500 more than I currently do).

I never noticed that image actually. 

Edit: wait what was that image for again?
