dude this is awesome. i want in on this!

" This is... wow.
 
I'm not interested in taking part in the beta (nothing against the OP, I'm just too lazy/not attentive enough to hunt out the bugs), but maybe there are ways of spicening up the betting other than just how much in advance you call it? Like, say, including accumulator/combination betting i.e. you make a number of wagers based on one amount of XP points, and if you get them all right, you come out with a greater sum (for less of a wager, bear in mind, which is the main point of an accumulator) than you would had you made the bets individually. BUT If even one of the wagers fail, then the accumulator is lost. Obviously the more wagers you make to that one bet, the greater the multiplier, but the greater the risk...(cue dramatic music, or whatever)  So for example there's a 2-1 on Brad rating something x, a 2-1 on Ryan rating something else y, and a 2-1 on Jeff rating another game z. If you put 10 points on each, you'll come out with, well, double the amount you put in (I guess a net gain of 30 in this case at most if you bet on all three). With an accumulator you're betting on x,y & z at the same time in one go and the odds will be 6-1. So if you put 10 on that particular bet, you'll come out with 60 having only paid in 10, thus a 50 point profit (I hope I got all that right).Jus' saying. "

Hey so I read your commented out code of the 'rules' and have a lingering question:
You allow us to bet on different reviewers.  How does that work?  What I mean is say I bet that all 4 reviewer options give a game 3/5 stars, and one of them reviews the game and gives them a 3/5.  Do I 'win out' or do I win a portion because I bet that all 4 would give the game a 3/5.
 
Also can you come up with a way to show betting trends?  I think the other thing I would suggest is split out 'ici spent' and 'ici won' in your leaderboards.

This looks like a ton of fun. If you could throw me in there, it'd be much appreciated.

That's awesome. If I can get in to the beta that would be great!

This sounds really awesome! 
 
I'd totally like access if I could have it.

I'm down for this. Invite please!

"You're letting Ethan bet? That dude has all sorts of inside knowledge, or at least he should. "

i gotta say i love the descriptions on everything on the website. it makes it much more pleasing to read those walls of text :P

Nicely done my friend. I'd love to be a beta-testerer

Oh god!

Ooooh I want in on some of this action! haha. 
 
Makes me wanna get back into web devving again. To do: learn PHP, HTML5, brush up on javascript :p 
 
EDIT: Just took a look at the source. I lol'd at your div id's haha. 

Love to added to this, testing FTW!

Hey me again, still can't register. It's weird though, I typed in a fake username, it worked. (just said I wasn't on the list) So does that mean somethings up with my profile, could you maybe take me off the beta list and then put me back on, would that even do anything or am I just being an idiot?

Makes sense about the way the betting works.  Funny part is I had the opposite reaction- I saw the 4 choices and figured if I chose one of them wrong (even if choosing another right) I'd get screwed.  In any case, I like the way you set it up. 

That's pretty awesome.

i'd love to try this. looks awesome :o

Does the currency we use have a name? If not I suggest calling it Ryan Davis Dollars.

This is awesome, and I want in.

Sounds cool, I want to try it!

impressive!

Any chance of taking bets on GOTY?

Can i get in the bee ta?

Alright, sorry about the problems, people. They should be solved now (no seriously, this time for reals). 
 
In case you missed the entertaining "under construction" screen that I must've thrown together in the wee hours of the morning because I entirely forgot that I even made it, you can see it here. 
 
You're going to have to re-enter a newly-generated code on your "about me" page if you were stuck at Step Two of the registration process. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I think the majority of the buggery is sorted out, for the time being.

Nice

Can I get in on this?

Just a quick reminder for anyone who tried to register an account in the past two days and encountered errors... it's fixed now, and I'm waiting for you to finish registering :)

I want to enter this, please.

Question: Shouldn't my xp in GB carry into ici points? I have 0 ici points and I clearly don't have 0 xp.
