Edited by: EVE Bet on 05/04/2008 09:01:38 EvE Bet it a new service that i will be providing to all eve players. EvE Bet will be essentially a betting service, taking bets on anything u like, in and out of EvE. This Includes
- International Football
Club Football Horse Racing In Game Events (e.g. Alliance Tornaments)
If you wish to place a bet on any event please feel free to contact me ingame, i will be broadcasting regularly in trade an Jita local informing people of this service. As i am UK based this service will only include UK Club Football and Racing, at the moment and will be limited to events which start and finish on the day the bet is placed. Currently i intend to run this service alone however if i get a large interest i may employ people and pay isk to assist running the service.
The current minimum bet will be 1 million ISK and the maximum is negotiable on weather i think it is feesable to take the bet.
Each-Way bets are also accepted.
To place a bet please contact character: "EVE Bet" in game and i will assist you as much as possible.
Example of a Bet:
(Converstaion Open) EVE Bet > Hi, how may i help you. EvilSource > I would Like to place a bet of 10 Million ISK on Hedgehunter to Win the grand national. EVE Bet > That would be possible, if you could transfer me 10 Million ISK i will Provide you with a Bet ID and should you win the bet the winnings will be transfered directly to your wallet with "Bet ID : XXXXX" as reason for transfer along wth an ingame mail. On the event of a loss no contact will be made. EvilSource > The transfer has been made. EVE Bet > Thank you. The transfer has been recived and your bet is now placed on Hedgehunter to win with odds of 16-1 and your New bet ID is "000001" thank you.

Providing the identity of your main character might help a bit.
The problem with gaining trust by honouring small bets is that you might be waiting for a big one before springing the scam. The only way to be considered trustworthy is for your good name to be worth more objectively than the value you would gain by stealing, and that's impossible to do with a newly created alt.

Mains are EvilSource, and EvilEmbrace if i get trust and get a good service running and with 30k ppl on if i just take a couple 100 bets a weekend having a good name and running a good service would make more isk then i could ever scam. I Made this char jsut so ppl can remember the name easy and i can find the transactions easy.

You need to explain how odds work, are you facilitating bets between players or is it us vs. the house...
What are the odds? You make it sound like I am betting the house with an even-money bet. Is that correct?

Originally by: Raivi What guarantee and/or evidence can you provide that this is not a scam?
why should you scam something like this? since it is a win win situation..
although i can't imagine that this would be legal to do over eve, betting on rl stuff for the purpose of gaining isk... (besides it is illegal betting, since you are using a system that you are not a bet of, and i am pretty sure ccp will not support this.) would be weird and could start a nasty habit of a million different betting stuf in eve etc..1
besides you haven't put a max of how much you can afford to lose, so if some one places a 1bill and wins lets say 10 bills, how would you be able to pay (so in reality this would turn into a scam if some one hit the "jakpot")
ps. i would suggest linking to some well known charecters (that are trusted) which will say good for this, so people know it is not a scam and that you are good for the isk, would be a good idea for it to get started I declare war on stupidity |

Sure you could eventually make more money doing this legit then by scamming the first big better to come along, but that would take a lot more time and effort. Time and effort you could be spending pulling off your next scam.
And this concept is definitely legal, it's been going on since the beginning of the game with CCP's blessing.

I'd like to draw people's attention to the odds I'm offering on an in-game race taking place tomorrow:
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=740667
All odds there are x to y format: if your chosen racer/team wins, you get your stake back plus x isk for every y that you bet. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

I know from my previous post in this thread that i said that this guy i.e. his main char is in my corp so maybe im being biased a bit, bet was made, i received an eve mail stating the amount paid, odds and potential winnings.

Edited by: EVE Bet on 06/04/2008 14:04:59 Edited by: EVE Bet on 06/04/2008 13:59:50 hey jsut spotted a post about how the system works... you place an bet on event ... e.g. team A to win Team B at a football game you place 1mil for team A to win and i give u odds of 1.8 you willl recive a 1.8 mil payout upon a win.. bets are made with myself... so e.g if team A wins i loose 0.8 mil, if team A looses i gain 1.0... works exactly like a highstreet betting shop
odds are displayed in either decimal or fraction form. if uve ever been in a betting shop youlll know all the ins and out for details convo me in game odd are either fractional e.g. 4/5 upon a win u recive the fractional odds of ur stake+ return of your stake e.g. 1 mil bet , 4/5 odds 1mil * 4/5 = 0.8 mil stake = 1mil total payout = 1.8 mil
decimals are a multiplier... so u your stake is included in the odds e.g odds of 1.8 1.8 * stake = 1.8 mil
decimal odds = fractional odds + 1

and to be honest i cant see there being an internationa law about people placing bets with in game money... thats like saying its illegal to risk your ship in a fight because in effect ur gambling on winning or u will losse isk.

I wanted to start an in-game casino, it's difficult to regulate and to get trust from people - everyone told me to naff off and stop scamming.
Good luck EVE Bet!

yea but the problem with a casino is how does it work ... e.g roulette... you have to "show" the betters the result... so its difficult to show that the number is what u say and youve not just picked 1 your not gona loose out on.
whereas with betting on events ppl can simple go online and find if thier team, player, whatever event results are
