Welcome all, to The Betting Table. As the name implies, this is a game that involves gambling, although not with real money.

How To Play:

- Anybody can join at any time.
- Each player starts off with $1000.
- Before each "round" begins, all players must put in money into the Pool.
- Players cannot put an amount less than $100.
- The grandmaster (myself, heheh) will roll a six sided die.
- Each player will bet on what number will show up.
- The players who win the bet will each win an equal share of money from the Pool.
- You play until you run out of money.

Rules:

- All Forum rules apply here.
- If a player runs out of money, they can either ask the Bank (run by the GM) for money, or they can leave the game.
- A player who wishes to ask for money can only take up to $500.
- A player who leaves has to wait three days before returning to The Betting Table.
- Before the die is rolled, 10% of the money from the Pool goes into the Bank.
- Each player must keep tract of the amount of money he/she has.
- All players must place in their money in the Pool and their bets before the die is rolled.
- If no one wins a round, all of the money from the Pool goes into the Bank.

Now that all that has been said, let us play. Begin!

EDIT: Bank rule added to prevent people from taking too much money from the Bank.

Fine then I'll start.

Money: $1000

I bet 250 on 4

which leaves me with 750.

So if I am getting this right, the Pool right now only contains my $250 right? So if no one else bets (let's just assume that is the case), I would get back 225 if I was victorious (250 minus the 10%)

@Doombreed , you are the winner of Round 1! Since you were the only player to win that time, you receive the whole amount in the Pool.

Totals:

@Doombreed:
Starting Amount: $1000
Bet $250: $750
Won $472.50
Total Amount: $1,222.50

@armorplayergc
Starting Amount: $1000
Bet $300: $700
Won $0.00
Total Amount: $700

That puts Doom in the number one position. Place your bets, people!
