    PLEASE READ BEFORE BETTING! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN AN UPSET SOC!

    In short, the betting section is a section to bet. You bet FORUM CASH!!!! to win forum cash on any range of events!

    The odds will usually just be evens. Eg. betting 5 cash. If you win you win 5 cash. If you lose you lose your 5 cash.

    The events can be ANYTHING that any mod seems fit, (99% sport etc) Request an event here {http://www.neofriends.net/betting-section-f98/request-an-event-here-t30099.html} (please nothing small) I would like this if people can request american sport events, as I have NO knowledge.

    FAQ's.

    Can I place a bet once an event is closed?

    Do I really need to say?!

    When will events get paid out or our forum cash subtracted?

    Whenver I sign on and have a spare 5minutes. PLEASE BE PATIENT! I will aim for within 12hours of an event, but ofcourse real life overrides this. {NB: other mods please do NOT EDIT forum cash for bets as this'll confuse everyone}

    Can I cancel a bet?

    Nope. Once you hit post it's bet and done. Posts can NOT BE EDITED OR DELETED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. So think carefully :)

    Can i discuss my bets?

    Yes, there will be a betting thread and a discussion thread for each event. PLEASE USE EACH ONE CORRECTLY!

    Can I bet more than once?

    You may have one bet PER EVENT. But bet on as many events as possible if you wish.

    What if I run out of cash?

    Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose :) You'll go on negative cash.

    How much Can I bet?

    The rule for now is (5+(5*level) = MAX BET! (Min bet = 1)
    Level 1= 10 cash
    level 2 = 15 cash
    level 3 = 20 cash
    level 4 = 25 cash
    level 5 = 30 cash
    Mods = 40 cash.


    Example of how to bet: Open a [BET] thread, reply to the thread saying BET X on Y.
    Eg: Bet 10 on Manchester united to win.
