I think it would be cooler if points had more weight to them. IE, no interest generating allowed, points awarded only multiple users giving a single user karma, and removing the billions upon billions that some posters have.

It would be cooler to see someone bet 5 points, straight up... instead of my 6Billion vs yours.... puts everyone on a level playing field.

Don't you understand that this is part of fun that keeps everyone going..

This site is not only pure boxing, although 99.9% of the time this is the section I'm in... But in order to have people interetsed.. you got to give 'em something to look forward to..
Thus Karma... Points...
I think this is a great idea...

I love this site... It's Boxing PLUS fun!

And if you feel so outnumbered with your point balance, perhaps you should attend more often than 238 posts as of January..

You're missing my point.

First off, I only post when I have something to say, which explains the 238 posts part.

But more importantly, I'm talking about the points meaning more than they are now. It's exactly what you're saying... give the people something to lose, hence, points, karma. But the thing is, if someone bets 500 million points and loses... who cares? they still have 10 billion left in the bank. There's no risk. What I was saying was, if someone only has 30 points to bet, and there is no interest, they'll think long and hard before making a bet, thus increasing the fun (at least, <i>I</i> think it would).

Dont worry dude, i am just waiting on the interest atm.

When im mega rich, i will cream off some dudes that i respect some of my points, that i earn in interest. Atm i would say i am actually in the top half of richest posters here. But im talking when im receiving 100+ million a day in interest, i will help you out.... And trust me, it wont be too long either.

Toss some of that this way if you can as well.... I'm in the same boat... I've been playing the same 15 mil for months. With the wins and losses, it evens out.
