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.

Doom climbed back up to first with $2,158.00, while newcomer akshobhya trails behind in second with $1,958.00. Behind them are Loop, gringrant, HahiHa, and cobbcannon3423. Patrick is in last place with $450, while AP and Gantic are in the zeroes.
I'm not playing, but can I suggest something? If there's a tie, it should be split to ratio. For example, I bet 200, and someone else bets 400, and there is a total of 3000 in the pot. Our number is rolled, so I would gain 1000, and that someone else would gain 2000, thus giving meaning to betting more money.
I decided not to go through the tedious task of bolding some words. Here are the results:
