The Ace of Jades 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 We;re all tryin to do a little better in our poker game here and we have so many players at different sites, why don't we start a lottery?A lottery you ask? Well this is what I mean. Lets say you're gonna deposit money on a new site, if you felt so inclined you could post somewhere, or maybe there could be random name generator made, and someone's name would come up and you would use them as a referal.I think it would be a good way to help everyone out.

Suited_Up 2 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Or we could just use our clout! Link to post Share on other sites
closetwin 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 This sounds stupid.However, as someone who highly wants a referral (that's closetwin on partypoker.com, folks)....maybe it's alright. I'm conflicted.CT Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Question 1: How drunk are you right now? If you say quite or very, I will understand why you think this is a great idea. If you are not drunk, then it is just a pretty bad idea. I had a feeling it would be pretty bad based on the title. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather just give him my referral than end up giving a referral to "SuperStokedPokerBloke" or something. Link to post Share on other sites

elkang 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 A lottery has no real benefit except to those who run it. In this case, they would get zero benefit for their work and if they got paid then it is a business.Sorry, not a good idea. The current system works and rewards people better than a lottery.How can you even play poker seriously and like this idea? We are all gamblers but a lottery is a stupid gamble except for entertainment value or to those who run it. Link to post Share on other sites

We are all gamblers but a lottery is a stupid gamble except for entertainment value or to those who run it.Maybe lottery wasn't the correct term. Was it? I'm just not sure if you understood his point properly. He was basically calling for a random drawing of possible refer-ers whenever someone was planning on signing up to a new online poker room, thereby giving everyone a 'fair' chance to get a referral and the free money that is associated with it. Or, you could look at it cynically, in that he is angle-shooting to bypass the clout that regulars may have in the 'referral process'. Link to post Share on other sites
