I do agree that rep shouldn't be included in any big way so that is off the table. I also agree that the credits would lose their meaning if we handed them out all the time for no reason. By having the set limits that are in place, I think it keeps the system strong - and by having the welfare check, it keeps people engaged and able to participate.

If we bet huge and lose you should comp our meals for the day

A Mod should set up odds for Iowa going to a bowl or not and which one.....

I hadn't looked at my credits for a couple of hours......and all of the sudden I had 41,000 more credits. I kind of felt like I had found a giant sack of money on the ground and I debated for a little bit whether I should pm someone about the error or just pretend like I always had that much.

But now I know the truth.

I had the same mentality. Why would I inform someone of a good mistake to lose all my credits? I was playing roulette once in the Quad Cities, playing 50 cent chips. The croupier knocked off the chip that said I was playing 50 cents and replaced it with a dollar. Doubled my money. Lost it all anyways, but it was nice for a while.

I think you should suffer if you lose all your credits. I am ok with earning credits on number of posts / reads /etc. I am not sure how you can earn credits, but I would like to see the best betters have the most credits. I don't think someone should earn a ton of credits without betting and betting correctly.

The cybookie activity is around to add enjoyment for those that wish participate.

In support of CF I think you should give credits for contributions, so those than run out of credits can get back in the game by helping out Jeremy!!

Signing up a year ago and then just basically checking the site out every once in awhile until recent, just paid big dividends.
