The Virtual Bookmakers Glitterball Trophy - (In conjunction with The VIRTUAL Bookies)
This is a thread which tracks all the virtual punters profits/losses in the Virtual Bookmakers Office. This also includes the Bookmaker!
At the end of this years series, the person at the top wins the Virtual Bookmakers Glitterball Trophy. Simple. ![]() Needless to say as this is a Virtual Bookmakers event, there WILL be betting on who wins it. Now to take part, all you do is place a Virtual bet in the Virtual Bookmakers thread. All for fun. No real money. Here : http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...019772&page=21 Also I must say thank you to member (and punter!) Oldshep56 who has kindly agreed to help keep the stats. for this. Good luck to everyone in this, but remember the Bookie is looking to win this event as well! ![]() PLEASE do not try to place any bets in this thread. |

Exciting ! One point though Johnny, should you not limit the amount one can bet , to try to stop silliness . Like Heatherbell putting 45 million quid on a dead cert just to top up her score . Or am I being a daftie again ?

As the Virtual Bookmakers is licenced by the Virtual Gambling Commission, there are rules to keep play open & fair, protect the vulnerable etc..... There are also strict limits. The Minimum bet is £10 and the Maximum bet £500. Even although all bets are virtual, the bookmaker reserves the right to refuse any bet or part of any bet. Also, as betting is only virtual, persons under 18 may place bets if they wish. No nonsense is permitted in the virtual bookies & offenders (such as punters who win too much) may get virtually barred!

Nothing. It is all virtual. Each player starts off at zero and can bet anything from £10 to £500 per bet. Totals/league positions are updated after each event.
Are you allowed more than one bet per market? If I back someone in the outright market could I back the same person again or someone else at a later stage? I am guessing I could do that as long as the total amount staked on said individual doesn't exceed £500? |

At the moment, there are three different markets in play. Johnny is taking bets on elimination and outright winner. Then I expect next week there will be a market on the time of the spoiler (for those that read the spoiler thread).
I am sure he will think up some more ingenious ways to part us from our 'virtual' money. So you can bet on any of those markets up to a limit on any bet of 500 but you aren't confined to one bet. I have backed two for the outright winner for example. If I have got it slightly wrong, I am sure the main man will put it right. |

OldShep56 is spot on (apart from Spoiler Time Guess market not yet formed but soon will be!). You can back any runner as many times as you like, subject to acceptance by the bookmaker. You are not just limited to £500 on any one runner. It is £500 max. PER BET.
Good luck to all virtual punters & enjoy the show which starts in 20 mins.
