hi
eveTV has been awesome so far but gambling on individual matches isn't being offered and i want to bet on the most interesting match on next friday
IAC vs KAOS
KAOS were in second place last time and the people in third place are on IAC's team now I think KAOS are going to win that fight and i'm willing to put my money where my mouth is
so any takers ?
I'll match any bets 1 for 1 until I run out of ISK (2 billion)
post here if you're up for it and how much you'll bet we'll send all the ISK to a neutral party to hold it for us if any are willing, Omber Zombie or TornSoul maybe ?
If i win i'll bet on the matches on saturday and sunday too 
thanks

I'm game.
Lechap, wire me the 2B, and I'll post here when you have.
And then ppl can start sending me their bets.
I'll take a 10% cut for the admin though (So whoever wins wont quite double your ISK, but almost)

Hmm, how does that work then if I went to bet that IAC will win ? I just send TornSoul the amount of ISK i'm betting on it ?
What if I send 200 mil, how much does that pay me back if I win ? 180 mil profit ?

First of - *DO NOT* send me any ISK yet!!! (just making completly sure noone misreads your/mine resposne and starts sending me ISK)
But once I've confirmed that the bet is on - Yes, you wire the ISK to me.
If you send 200M (betting on that IAC will win), and IAC does indeed win, you will get your 200M ISK back + 180M ISK.
The 180M beeing what you actually win from Lechap (I'm keeping 10%)
AGAIN - Do not send any ISK yet. Not until I have confirmed that Lechap really wants to do this or not.

I'm alright with 10%, as long as it's only 10% of the ISK that actually goes into play, so i'm not out 200 mil if nobody bets
sending ISK now

Just back from work. I cant get ingame to validate that Lechap has actually transfered the ISK (Cluster is full). And I'll be gone most evening so just want to get this started.
Looking at the char pages it looks as if my wallet has a couple of extra bill in it (I think...). I'm willing to "take the chance" that it's Lechap that wired some ISK (if not I'll cover the bets myself - Thats how sure I am it's Lechap ;))
And Lechap, I'll only take 10% of actual bets ofc. ie. you'll get all your ISK back should noone make a bet (looks as if a few are game though )
--------------------------- How to bet
- You wire your bet to "TornSoul" - Your bet has to be in full millions of ISK, ie. no 10,345,678 bets, but 10M ISK instead. - Minimum bet is 10M ISK - You have to add 297 ISK to your bet, so I can easily spot it in my wallet. To make a bet of 10M ISK (that IAC will win) you would thus have to wire 10,000,297 ISK to "TornSoul". Fail to add the 297 ISK and I'll simply keep the ISK. -----------------
Lechap, I suggest you copy/paste the above (the stuff between the lines) and quote it in your first post - Lots won't find it all the way down here.
Happy betting guys.

Now now, try and think for a moment what I *have* done (in the past) so that people are now comfortable with me holding their ISK for a bit.

Lechap, drop me a message if you wana take a 150mil private bet on that, 10% hits the odds a bit too hard (no dis. to TornSoul, it's just the numbers).

TornSoul, I would like to bet against those IAC rogues. However, as you are not on IRC I am unable to discuss this with you.
If you would be happy with this I shall put in 350m. As you are unlikely to see this before tomorrow, I shall not send the isk right now just incase you do not wish any more bets against IAC.
If, on the other hand, when you do see this, you do want to take me up on this, do post and I shall send the isk along.

Has Tournsoul paid out?
It is in a bookie's interest to declare a fixed match void and take his admin cut from all bets.
He profits financially and gains a good reputation (assuming he has one in the first place).
These tournaments are every 6 months, next time betting could be an big earner for a bookie with a spotless reputation.

A bunch of people bet lots of money on IAC, a team full of known thieves, scammers and other types that warm my heart. IAC bet on their opponents to win, then threw the match.
Then people expressed surprise that the well known thieves actually just thieved their money.
Others expressed suprise at the idiocy of the people that gave the thieves their money.

well there was more to losing that match then possibly getting cash off bets. it also effects the matchs for the next rounds. so they might have been setting the matchs to some thing they wanted more by losing

Oh for....do people even look at who they're betting on? read up a bit on the people you're trusting with your money! At least 1 GH-SC member? I bet you another 2 bil that more than 1 of them have GH-SC JUST ON THEIR INGAME EMPLOYMENT HISTORY.

I still don't see why you just don't call it void, no-one gets ****ed off, no-one says you we're in on it, and you still get the same 10% (admin fee).
The premise of the scam was "I'll use Tournsoul as an honest broker."

tornsoul stuck to the letter of the agreement, isn't that what an honest broker does ?
he's not judge and jury and ensurer of fair gambling now is he ?
all he agreed to do was to middleman the isk to verify that i was actually going to match bets with real money
he did this so i frankly don't see what the problem is
also IAC throwing the match has nothing to do with me, i just thought KAOS were the better team which they are

Well, I am guessing that second place gives you an opponent you are more comfortable with for your first knockout match.
But I bet all the extra ISK is a welcome bonus.

all bets on the torny are a risk b/c there is no rules against throwing a game. so any bet on any team cane be fixed. so in your terms all bets on the alliance torny could be fixed and also ts is a middle man who gets cash either way so why would he bother fixing the bet unless the one who won cash is his alt. but he has a good reputation and i see little reason why hed ruin it over a few bil.

One person betting 3B privately is one thing, publicly involving TS and leveraging his reputation for credibility is another.
All I'm saying is that the "unwitting" facilitator of a fix ought to have some clue that his reputation is being used to facilitate a fix. He has time on his side - he needn't pay out straight after the fight. He could get a clue and realise he will be less attractive as an "honest broker" in future if he pays out on a blatent scam.
He can void all bets, and still profit the same 10% admin fee, with no-one impeaching his reputation.
The "I'm neutral, I only moved money" defence is self-defeating for TournSoul, it just makes him look like part of the scam.

Semblence I'll give this one answer.
Me entering as a 3rd party "only - and absolutly only" gurantess that ISK will be moved - and that neither side will be given the chance to "not pay up".
My only function is that of an "automated process" (making sure the ISK moves) - Nothing more, nothing less.
How entering as a neutral 3rd party suddenly gives me the powers, not to mention *right* of "game assesment board" and judge and jury at the same time... Is totally beoynd me...
In fact, doing as you suggest (giving every one their ISK back) would *excactly* stamp me as beeing dis-honest, as I in that case would have broken my "contract" with Lechap.
I simply dont have a choice. I've yet to break my word on anything, and I sure plan to keep it that way.
It's unfortunate that you feel otherwise, but my hands are tied by my word.

Dont wait till then, I can tell you right now. IAC had they won were going to meet BoB in a semi final. After the hours on EVEtv of saying how Tyraxx has planned this tournament for months, and how last tournament Tyraxx strategy was superior and they were unlucky to lose to BoB etc. (insert more crap here), they could not handle another semi final lose to BoB.
IAC threw the match so they could be on the other side of the draw and at least make a final this time. Hence saving some face by saying they did better then last time. Tyraxx has isk flowing out of his eyeballs it has nothing to do with isk.
It is digusting, disreputable, and your name will be forever tarnished. Your acts were not in the spirit of the competition, and proves that your actions cant back up your big mouth on EVEtv.

Tbh, I find the isk scam rather lame, but hey, it being part of eve to scam makes it acceptable.
I don't get Tornsouls decision on the matter however. He's been used like Omber was in that share scam. Hiding behind impartiality is weak, and that's saying it rather nicely. Would you accept to broker an IPO by my alt corp Tornsoul ? And still send me my isk after I inform the scammed investors that they got scammed ? No you would not, since you're linked to the actions of whoever it is you broker for.
Anyways, enough about the isk part. Let's get to the really interesting part. Evading the BoB team in the semis by throwing a match. Rather weak, again. A draw is made to determine who fights who and what the order of battle will be up to the finals. Throwing a match is unsportsmanlike behaviour in the extreme.
It won't help tho, you're not going to make it to the finals anyway

Whether or not this bet was a scam, doesn't really matter. The match was rigged, that much is obvious. TornSoul not giving everyone their money back, but paying out to the 'winner', implies that it was indeed a scam, and that he was part of it from the beginning.
Originally by: TornSoul Now now, try and think for a moment what I *have* done (in the past) so that people are now comfortable with me holding their ISK for a bit.

Shame on you Rod Blaine. Scamming is allowed in EVE and impartiality is nothing 'to hide behind' if that is the very reason someone is selected to guarantee/broker the deal in the first place, especially by the victim.
So at you.

How is siding with an at the very least suspicious winner impartial?
Impartiality would be to say 'It's obvious the match was rigged, the losing team admitted it very clearly. Therefore all ISK will be returned, no percentage fee will be taken and nobody gets hurt'.
That's the general rule in cases like this. Bookies declared all bets null and void when Schumacher let Barichello win a Formula 1 race a couple of years ago.
I don't care about people getting scammed btw, I do care about the CEO of one of Eve's largest public ventures (BMBE) showing yet again to make decisions that aren't thought through properly.

Our betting on this year's Alliance Tournament is at the bequest of CCP. GMs have audited BIG Games's wallet before, to ensure no wrong doing. The BMBE has around 90 billion ISK worth of investors' ISK. We also hold multiple Battleship BPOs, purchased using ISK from investors in The BIG Deal.
If you think we'd be willing to throw this all away for 176m ISK you've got rocks in your head.
And while all the evidence may suggest this isn't too kosher, there is as yet no conclusive proof that this is a scam.
You've all got your own opinions of what may have happened, and moralistic inclines as to the worst case scenario. TS made a judgement call and decided to stick by his word. Nothing more needs to be explained.

Lol, TS and judgement calls.
Need I remind you of the character transfer scam that was the reason why character sales done on the forums are now protected by CCP? TS supposedly conducted a huge investigation to get to the bottom of it all, and ruled there was no scam. The victim however didn't give up, and finally CCP intervened, uncovered the scam for what it was, and reversed the transactions. Good call from TS there.
Then there's the more recent even where he seemingly is skimming dividends off of share sales done through the EGSE.
Now this.
All of these incidents involve a relative small amount of ISK. In all of these incidents, TS has failed to come up with conclusive evidence that he wasn't involved.
It's not about who's right or wrong, it's about the reputation of someone who deals with so much of other people's ISK.
But it's ok, I'm not involved either way, just surprised at how many snafu's someone like TS can make and still have the trust of a large amount of the community.

I remember that scam investigation. I also remember that the "result" of his investigation was indeed that it had been a scam; the purpose of the investigation had always been to prove that BIG and TS did not know it was a scam beforehand, and he succeeded in doing that, backed up by CCP. If you could provide a link to that particular case, we could verify this either way and there would be much rejoicing.
As for skimming off dividends... how? Also, if he was "manipulating" EGSE, EMFi would most likely be doing an audit right now, or have finished one. They might've done one, I don't frequent the market forums that much, the world of EVE finance is of only a minor concern of mine when you really get down to it, and I might've missed that notice. At least I DID miss accusations of BIG skimming off EGSE. So again, links for me to read up on that? ----

Good job mixing things up Lechap. You know, just by looking at the list of fights, I'm sure most everyone could pick the winners 80-90% of the time before the round begins (until tomorrow of course). Having flukes like this in there may make someone a little more hesitant to throw 5 bil isk on BoB next time.
Risk in gambling? Naa... that's too much for people.

Originally by: Ray McCormack Our betting on this year's Alliance Tournament is at the bequest of CCP. GMs have audited BIG Games's wallet before, to ensure no wrong doing. The BMBE has around 90 billion ISK worth of investors' ISK. We also hold multiple Battleship BPOs, purchased using ISK from investors in The BIG Deal.
If you think we'd be willing to throw this all away for 176m ISK you've got rocks in your head.
And while all the evidence may suggest this isn't too kosher, there is as yet no conclusive proof that this is a scam.
You've all got your own opinions of what may have happened, and moralistic inclines as to the worst case scenario. TS made a judgement call and decided to stick by his word. Nothing more needs to be explained.
ah that clears it up
so he sat down and after much thinking he decicet it was a fair fight and IAC lost because they suck
as i said bfore , if someone trusts him after this scam and his background , they must be insane

TS may not have known beforehand the char transfer was a scam, but he did in fact vouch for the scammer. Then after the buyer came to the forums complaining, TS conducted an investigation from which he concluded that it wasn't in fact the BIG member that scammed, but the buyer. I'm sorry I can't find the thread in which it was announced that it was a scam by the BIG member, but we seem to agree on that anyway.

TS has been skimming off dividends by waiting to transfer shares on deals brokered by him. People buy BMBE shares on EGSE before dividend is supposed to be paid out. TS then waits with transferring the shares until after dividend has been paid (TS is in possession of the shares from the moment they are put up for sale), effectively receiving the dividends himself.

Raem unfortunately cannot post due to circumstances currently beyond his control, but he does thank you for your links, and for correcting his memory.
