Hurry up and blow that vCash. Lines are set for the first round games minus 1. UNC vs. Play in winner will be set up Tomorrow night when the line is set. Can I get a mod to sticky this too?

P.S. Be sure to look at the exciting action on the Texas Tech game. Will Bob Knight go over or under the technical foul mark?

BTW people, be gentle on Sideburn and I if you see a mistake, we are newbie-quasi mods, so if we messed something up, just PM us and we’ll fix it.

Make sure and look at 2nd page on V-Bookie Forum, there are 32 games to bet, plus some side action Sideburn made up.

I see that. Still, I ended the NFL season with 1984 vbucks so I've lost 984 to be back at 1,000. If that's the policy, fine. I just want to know so that, in the future, I can allow for that. Maybe I'll be more inclined to "go for broke" at season's end knowing I can't carry them over to the next season/event.

Actually, it was the vIRS collecting on unpaid taxes from your winnings. Remember fellas and ladies. Be sure to claim your winnings. We at the vIRS do not want to penalize anyone else.

Hopefully, if all goes well, all bets will be settled by the end of the evening during each round. But remember, this is being done on a volunteer basis so, give us some patience as we work out the kinks and get settled into the tournament! Good luck and dont lose your shirt!

Honestly, a few years back when CU had a pretty decent team, I watched the women's tourney. But I can only watch woman ogres for so long. I'm still waiting for a major story like the #1 woman's hoopster gets knocked up or something. ESPN needs to invent this story.

I'd have to be really really drunk...unless it was a guard. There are some hot guards. I tend to stay away from chicks that are taller than me. I don't want to have to jump when I slap her around.

Thats my problem, I dont like chicks that are taller than me, and me being 5"9 takes away about any chance of being with any female basketball player.

Have fun watching your hated Maurice Clarett. How bittersweet. The guy you hate was the reason you won the game. If the NCAA digs a little deeper, maybe they will wipe the NC off the books.

What makes you think I'd hate Craig Krenzel? When the was over, it was him as player of the game, not Clarett. Plus we had a very good defense(I believe your Wolverines know all about that with their mighty 14 points they put up against us.)

Clarett's biggest thing was stripping Shawn Taylor, Lydell Ross could've had his 2.1 YPC in that game.

The Wolverines were only able to muster 9 points in that game, guess I over-rated your team.

Doesnt make any sense. Why reset everyone? Just add 1000 to everyone so all the broke asses like me could play and the people who ended up on the plus side get to keep their winnings AND get 1000K everyone else got.

Maybe the software doesnt allow for adding and subtracting, just setting to a number or something but it doesnt really make sense to have vBookie if your winnings dont carry over. Whats the use of vCash if there is no incentive to "spend" it on anything - since we dont spend it - and now we cant even keep what we win?

Im going to have to talk to the vGaming vCommission about this. I dont think this is within the vRules.

Them's the rules!

I had like 1,425 vBucks before the rollback, but whatever. Maybe before next NFL season we should all start out with 500 or 1,000 with the knowledge that it could carry over......but make it harder for people who blow it all to get back in it. If they hit 0 then they should get only get reset to like 100.

But that's another conversation for another day.
