Host of 2012 Olympics

[Kori Ellis]

Place your bets.

[Lady M]

Paris is my city
I want the olympics games

[SpursDork]

Well, Paris is the fave from what I hear :fro

[NZHayden]

paris will probly get it but the theres noway you will benefit from getting vbook $, so i got london

[tlongII]

New Yawk!

[Marklar MM]

North Korea gets my vote.

[smeagol]

It would be sweet if NY would get it, but the people here don't have their act together.

I'm going with Paris, since TP is promoting them.

[blaze89]

NYC lost its chances when the Manhattan Stadium fell through. Moscow won't get it.

Looking back, Sydney wasn't supposed to get the games in 2000 beating Beijing. Athens was more of a sentimental vote.

I can't decide between London or Madrid.

[TheTruth]

Baghdad 2020

[ZStomp]

WHen will we find out?

[TheTruth]

WHen will we find out?
On wed, but it could take a few rounds of voting.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Go London. Fuck Paris.

My mom was treated like shit on her European vacation in Paris, but she loved London.

[Horry For 3!]

I'm sure it will be Paris who gets it.

[blaze89]

NY, Madrid and Moscow are out. As of right now it's down to London and Paris.

[SlovenianGuy]

London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[samikeyp]

London just won!

[GrandeDavid]

London. Paris will get jobbed. Looks like they did!

[ObiwanGinobili]

well, london does have that giant ferris wheel.......
i wonder if they'll build one giant umbrella for the city so the olympics doesn't have to be postponed due to rain??

[Lady M]

the CIO is corrompted

London buy the olympics members

[TheTruth]

I hated London. They should have had it in Madrid.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

the CIO is corrompted

London buy the olympics members

Because I'm sure it was only Paris who did everything with class.

Sour grapes.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That'll teach Chirac to talk shit on the eve of the vote.

BTW, Tony spoke out today


Tony Parker of the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs said Paris' loss proved the IOC had an Anglo-Saxon bias.

"It's been three times now that Paris has been refused -- 1992, 2008 and 2012. I find that bizarre," Parker said. "We did everything we had to do. I don't know what more we could have done.

[ObiwanGinobili]

"It's been three times now that Paris has been refused -- 1992, 2008 and 2012. I find that bizarre," Parker said. "We did everything we had to do. I don't know what more we could have done.

I'd suggest either one of the following two items:

1. vote YES to EU constitution.

2. reguarly clean the public sidewalk restoom facilities - or replace them with the self cleaning kind they have in San Fransisco.


I recieved these tips from my special pipeline into the brains of IOC members. :princess

[SlovenianGuy]

When they anounced the winner there was around 4000 vbookie money bet on London. Now it's already over 11000. Will this vbookie event ever be closed?

[Kori Ellis]

Well I was told this would be announced today at 6pm our time before I made the vBookie; that's why it's still open. Looks like everybody who cheated and voted for London AFTER it was announced fucked it up for everyone else. This vBookie is going to get voided and EVERYONE is going to lose. I can't believe you guys are such low lives that you bet on something after it's announced.

I guess we just won't have vBookies anymore.

thats was sooo not me. (just for the record) I lost $$ on Paris. :angel

plus we NEED vbookies!!!!!!!! It;s SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!! :smokin

[Guru of Nothing]

I'm so bad at vBookie that even when I win, I lose.

[Kori Ellis]

The only way that I can pay it out is if those who cheated confess so I can adjust their totals. So this is an open invitation for confessions, otherwise we aren't going to have vBookies anymore.

[Kori Ellis]

post the names of who changed bets

No one changed the bets. People bet after London was already announced -- which is cheating. I can see who bet but I don't know what time they bet.

[Guru of Nothing]

I placed my $100 on London yesterday after I read Chirac's comments insulting Finnish cuisine. If I was gonna cheat, I would have bet all my vBookie dollars.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I know that these guys bets are LEGIT casue I rember seeing thier names there before London was annmounced.
Slomo
SlovenianGuy
Pistons < Spurs

[Slomo]

I did bet yesterday on London, because I've seen 1st hand how well the British were prepared and because from a security point of view they are going to do an excellent job and take advantage from the fact they're an Island so the security at the games themselves will be much less stiff than it was for example in Salt Lake city.

I know there were only a few bets when I placed mine but I honestly do not remember who it was - I just didn't pay attention. I imagine they were quite a few more after I logged out yesterday.

I am quite willing to forfeit the bet if it means keeping the vBookie, since I for one have had a ton of fun with it (even if now I don't know shit about baseball :))

[Slomo]

I placed my $100 on London yesterday after I read Chirac's comments insulting Finnish cuisine. If I was gonna cheat, I would have bet all my vBookie dollars.
Specially with Finland having 2 IOC voting members :lol :tu

C'mon people 'fess up because I want Smeagol to lose some money :p that dude has way too much dough!

[Kori Ellis]

Slomo, I saw your bet yesterday, so I know you didn't cheat.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kori I wouldn't punish the whole board, just void this vBookie and let everyone know the next time it happens bye bye vbookie.

[Kori Ellis]

So, I should void this vBookie and only the people who voted on London legitimately should suffer?

Fuck that.

[Guru of Nothing]

Anyone got a calculator handy?

[SlovenianGuy]

I can only say that the highest bet at that moment was 2000.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good point Kori. Nevermind.

[TNT21]

I didn't even know there was a vbookie for this, SHIT, I missed an opportunity to make money!!

[TheTruth]

new york got my f*ing vote.

[SequSpur]

I woulda doubled down on this mofo if I would've known.

[kolko]

I placed my $50 on London yesterday.

[samikeyp]

take all the cheaters vbookie money away and prevent them from betting!

Hey, I have said this before....Hell hath no fury like the women of FSP scorned...that especially goes for the one in charge! Kori is one of the easiest persons to get along with...if you make her angry, you really fucked up.

[mouse]

How is doing some quick research and inside info cheating?

face it they got over, they have scoreboard. let them enjoy the moment it's not like it's real cash. and besides if you bet enough you will lose it all eventually.

I have inside Info the Raiders will win the supper bowl does that mean my bet won't count? :lmao

[SpursWoman]

I'm not sure if I voted late or not, because I hadn't heard who got it. But it was for Paris, so I wiffed my $25.00. Again. :depressed :lol



Cheaters suck. :flipoff

[SequSpur]

So, if you knew the lotto numbers before they released them and you went and bought a ticket and won it, then that would be some kind of problem?

Just wondering.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao Super weak. Cheaters suck.

[GrandeDavid]

Hey, hey, hey! I admit I "cheated". I voted for London after they had won but did not at all think my vote would ACTUALLY count! It was a feeble attempt at sarcasm since the link was still up yet the winner had already been announced. Besides, I really don't even know how this vbookie stuff works.

Had I known that an actual transaction would be made I certainly would have refrained.

I was not thinking, I had no motive, I was just being a goof. My apologies for any negative repercussions. :oops

Exactly.

[Kori Ellis]

Exactly.


You and Mouse are idiots.

It wasn't inside information. It was ANNOUNCED -- it was fuckin' over! There was just a mess up in the closing time of the vBookie.

For all the shit I do for everyone here on a regular basis. And the fact that this site is run with no ads, etc. And you guys cheat (or think it's cool to cheat) on a fuckin game.

Assholes.

[mouse]

In vegas if a dealer fucks up. or if a slot machine malfuntions they still pay the gambler.
face it, Kori was caugh off guard. pay the cash and move on.
I was up this morning when they broke the news live on CNN all you have to do is void out any Vbookie bets after 7am, end of story.

[Kori Ellis]

Bullshit. You guys told me that it was going to be over today at 6pm. The vBookie was set up accordingly.

Fuck it.

There's no more vBookies.

[Kori Ellis]

You can't do that. It doesn't say the time of the bets.

I need the cheaters to confess and then I can adjust the totals.

Let me know when your in vegas so I don't sit next to you ,

Kori is pissed I'm out.................

[SequSpur]

I haven't bet on a vbookie in a year

[GrandeDavid]

London. Paris will get jobbed. Looks like they did!

Here was my original post. Obviously it was made long after London had been announced the winner and was intended to be a joke, i.e. "I bet London will win...hey guess I was right!" Duh, everybody, myself included, knew Paris would win. I thought that it had been known that London had already won and that any polls would be closed.

Who else did it?

[Kori Ellis]

This is the second time this crap has happened. Remember last year when the odds were incorrect in a football game and so a bunch of people piled on (knowing that it was wrong) and then we had to void the whole thing.

It's a game. It's not even for money. And people cheat?

Low.

[Kori Ellis]

Had I known that an actual transaction would be made I certainly would have refrained.

Fine. Your total will be adjusted accordingly.

[Useruser666]

Good thing I transfered all my vMoney to my Caimen Islands vBookie account! :)

[MannyIsGod]

Good thing I transfered all my vMoney to my Caimen Islands vBookie account! :)
:lmao

I have a vOffshore accounts are the shit!

[Flea]

Aw, don't get rid of it Kori. I love Vbookie. I remembered slomo and pistons<spurs when I placed my bet yesterday on stupid Paris.

[SequSpur]

I'm saving mine for my little nest egg.

[Flea]

Good thing I transfered all my vMoney to my Caimen Islands vBookie account! :)


:lol

[GrandeDavid]

As I said, I do not really know what vbookie is about, if its worth anything tangible or just for fun. I don't think I've ever placed a bet on anything in my life!

Obviously it is taken seriously and I contributed to some confusion, so I sincerely apologize to all of you who were affected. I'm pretty embarrassed.

[timvp]

Okay, I'm looking through the logs (pain in the azz) and the cheaters are the following:

GrandeDavid
xcoriate
atlfan25
johndraegerhhs
Uncle Donnie

[timvp]

What's funny is the people who bet after it was already announced and got it wrong.

:lol

[Useruser666]

Just because they bet after it was announced doesn't mean they cheated.

[Kori Ellis]

Just because they bet after it was announced doesn't mean they cheated.

Yes it does.

[Kori Ellis]

Everyone who bet on London after it was announced, will have their vBookie accounts drained to zero.

Thanks for playing.
