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.

I thought someone would notice but this is a bit unfair... I keep betting 100, but if I win, I win the whole pool (which by now is $2440).
For example Gantic won before but he bet 1000 and got back 1215 (not a real change right?).
This is a game that encourages smaller bets. So I propose an alteration...the winnings must be affected by what you bet (like, double or triple what you bet, so as to encourage greater bets). If the money from the pool is not enough, then the bank covers the rest (which can be considered to have infinite money, if need be).
