Official Prop Bet threads for ALL HU tournaments
 

I'll begin with, taking most action on the flawless_victory v. durrrr match tomorrow.

I'll cover all bets on my group's action.

I moved this here from SSNL. Clearly not a strategy thread, but I did not feel comfortable moving it to another forum.

Thoughts on whether/where this type of thread belongs?

42it,

I asy leave it in one thread

Re: Official Prop Bet threads for ALL HU tournaments
 

I think that it needs to be really really clear that there's buyer beware going on here, and that 2p2 doesn't care if you get scammed, and isn't going to do anything if you do.

But also, I'm not sure that even having prop betting threads at all is allowable at this point. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it was definitely disallowed in a previous thread in this forum, and set as policy.

Something about the idea that this forum shouldn't be a place where gambling takes place.

I have a similar recollection, but am challenged when it comes to using the search function.

HSNL, but they already have plenty of threads on the subject.

Seems that you're the only one that got that memo.

Well, I can't find the post that I'm thinking of right now, but I really do feel like at some point it was said that for the purposes of making sure that 2p2 was not a "place where wagering takes place," and to cut down on the potential for scams, such as Vigorish, or just plain bet welching, there shouldn't be any more threads asking for money, or asking for a wager.

I may be shown wrong in the future, but personally, if I had to guess one, based on moderation history, from:

1) citanul is right and Big Jim "missed" the memo
2) citanul is wrong and he missed the memo

I'd have to go with (1). But hey, whatever.

I did some searching of my own, and here's the closest I came to finding something about the topic.

Well there is now also a thread in EDF. I don't see a problem with them, maybe we can add a disclaimer to the first post about 2p2 not being responsible etc.

Sounds like a plan to me

Re: Official Prop Bet threads for ALL HU tournaments
 

cit,

I was under basically the opposite impression from previous discussions - that 2+2 had no problem with prop bet/last longer/whatever wager threads, etc.

Re: Official Prop Bet threads for ALL HU tournaments
 

all,

coolio then, carry on.

Jim 1, he's on the board. jk

personally i think that 2p2 should think about this issue, but maybe not.

Re: Official Prop Bet threads for ALL HU tournaments
 

legally, I'm relatively sure 2+2 is not responsible for much of anything.

practically speaking, I'm locking/deleting these on sight in BBV unless intensely topical/funny/etc. based solely on the fact that I don't feel like dealing with more vig-style drama.
