Oh hell, a lot man.

I think the ratio on how many credits you get for rep points granted to ya got dropped - but I have no idea what the formula actually is.

Probably takes a calculus degree or a case of beer to figure it out.

i guess im gonna have to figure out a new way to recover the 50000 credits back. got any ideas. I havent gotten any new rep for a long time so that was supposed to be my answer. ill be coming up with a new strategy. I need OU to cover the spread

Start posting a lot, and then go all in on something else.

That seems like a hefty price. I think ill pass...haha. Can we get some kind of cybookie loan? if OU doesnt cover the spread im done for a while. rep should also help for the people who need it like me

Can we send big tony down to collect if you don't pay up? Smash your fingers in the trunk of your care if you are late?

Well, considering you've been a member longer than I have, yet I have 3000 more posts than you, that's hint #1 - post A LOT!!! Start new threads, polls, participate in polls... in other words, be proactive. I've earned 2,091 credits since I screwed myself on not checking the weather forecast for the Pittsburgh/Miami game on Monday night.

Second hint - gamble what you've got and build it up.

Forget big tony - I'm the Italian on this site and I've already got my billy club ready to smack the knees of those wiseguys who don't have the $$$ to pay up on their debts...

If Jeremy's reading this I second the idea. I remember a while back there was a "thoughts and ideas thread" about CyBookie, this should be appended.

The higher the total the more you are a true cyclone fan and you can use the points to get into special events like meet the coaches nights and dinner with Cy. The lower it is, the best I can figure, means you are a hawkeye fan.

Getting positive rep from someone with very little rep of their own means virtually nothing.

Getting negative rep from someone with very little rep of their own means virtually nothing.

Getting positive rep from someone with a very large rep of their own means your rep will increase greatly...in mafia terms it is like being a "made" man.

Getting negative rep from someone with a very large rep of their own means that you better get used to having a negative rep.

I know I should post more. But I spend alot of the time on here reading others opinions. You are killing me on the post count. I need to pick my spots alittle better. If I had won yesterday id be over 100,000 credits though. but we didnt win though. ugh 50000 was costly though
