Topic: WE NEED A HALL OF FAME? - page 3. (Read 496 times)

I don't think it would be practical to pursue such an idea. Bitcoin's pseudo-anonymity is one of the reasons that cryptocurrencies are so popular among gamblers. For the same reason, I don't believe you will find a lot of gamblers who will want to publicly share their victories. For them, it is about quietly winning.

Well, the hall of fame sounds good, but I am more for some real community competitions and games! I participated in the Betnomi poker series, and before that in the Bitcointalk poker series, and I would we to have something like that on regular basis, but there aren't enough interested players... from all gamblers in the forum!

I guess we can play any game, to make a pool and compete, but someone has to do all the hard work, like taking care of the spreadsheet, updating thread and scores... and it's not easy as it seems!

Most people don't like to disclose their financial winning especially something that comes from gambling because personally I feel like it will bring jealous which brings curse so bad luck.

But it's a good idea, you can start a thread and start posting the big wins and also let the others post their own or of others from their knowledge. The big win I still remember is by Yahoo on bustadice about 100BTC.

Thats its was i talking about.

The thread from poker you made its was i refer, i think a lot of you missunderstand the main thing, i never talk about players vs casinos im talking about users of the forum against other users of the forum, the information its all public in the threads made for the competitions.

Thanks FamososMuertos, maybe if i made i use info of your posts, the only thing missing  its the Predictions pools i have to collect the info when the season its over.

What is the practical purpose of this? I can't understand what this would be useful for other than to amuse someone's vanity. In the gambling section, people write/read in certain topics and quickly understand whose analysis is interesting (after all, you can always look at the history of messages). I don't think this hall of fame will be really useful to anyone.

Hi,
@darxiaomi Just do it, actually if the post reaches the community it would be great, but if only a few are interested it will also have reached its goal, the important thing is that it is on toPic.
I made two posts that I think can be closer to your idea, one is from the series and the other is from the big winners at a certain moment.

It's a good idea actually but i don't think its necessary to make a thread for it and the purpose only is to have a list of winners in big events?. For me IMO much better to create a thread for speculation and where we can get some strategies also so that everyone will have good profits in gambling.. Lol

I feel like there's no need for voting because it would basically be like a compilation of the top finishers from each of the tournaments here on the discussion board.

It's nice to have if gambling sites plan to gather the top performers and maybe invite them to an exclusive tournament.

Anyway, I don't see any harm in doing one if OP wants to continue then i'd say go for it.

That would be fine if you could make it a sticky at the top of the section, but if it's just another thread, I'm not sure, because with the movement here it would tend to disappear buried among the many other threads, and I don't think there are so many events to keep it constantly updated. I'm not saying that it can't be done this way, I just think it would be better to have a sticky but I doubt that you can convince the moderators to put it.

It might be better to communicate with the specific casinos instead of a general thread like here then. But that would then require casinos to have a sort of communication going on with whoever is pretty much holding the data together, not to mention that they have to ask permission whether the winners would like their names to be publicized. IF it was a local tourney hosted by someone here, then that might be easier though. As for custom tags, that would require talking with the owner and specifying when the title should appear only on a specific thread, I don't think it's worth the effort imo.

I like the idea but maybe do not call those a HALL OF FAMERS. Just think of another title.

We can really see if there's an interest in this if someone will start this for real.

OP, prepare those things and you can initiate this plan of yours. The community will backed you up for sure.

Good idea, but it will be subject for bias decisions. If there's a voting option, how can you prevent the votes getting cheated? Or who are eligible for voting?

Or if no voting, who will decide to list the bests and etc. We can agree to the "one of the bests list" but its a bit difficult to say this one is the best and the other is not.

You have a point about the advantages and disadvantages OP should create a poll if the majority will agree when it comes to gambling, not everyone can be as good as the other, even if they are motivated to play more to get a shot.

People should not be motivated to play just to inspire or motivate others or to duplicate other people's achievements it will lead them to be out of control this is not sports or academics, gambling has something to do with the money that you can afford to lose and you should play within your reach.

Yeah, this is a good plan. It can bring more visibility to different gambling platforms. How will be the data collected. In certain cases it is possible only if the gambling site reveals it. Same as the old thread mentioned by an user it is good to give updates on registration, because very few know about such tournaments and used to participate regularly. Anyway good initiation which requires regular updation.

I am afraid that in the world of cryptocurrencies, this idea may fail. Players on this forum still value anonymity and are very not happy to share information about their winnings. I think that the winners of big tournaments even more will not want to boast about it publicly.

Well first of all thanks for reply.

Regarding what advantages it would bring to the consumer, I would say that not many directly to be honest.
But it is interesting (at least for me) to know who really was champion in some internal tournament.
No, I am not referring to those games and rounds contests that are "simple", I am referring to the big poker tournaments, like the one I mentioned in my example and to the pool of predictions like the one that is sponsored by Sportsbet of the Premier League that has 50 participants.

Returning to the subject of advantages, for example the sponsors will always have their name written in the historical table as I put in the example. (Betnomi poker series, etc.)

This could also generate that more pages decide to make their big tournaments (of which there are few today) thus benefiting the entire community.

The main thing is to know and get to know each other better and that the newbie who arrives also knows who he is talking to. Because as we all know in the posts there is a lot that he comments on but perhaps few that he really knows.

My idea its to do good with a good graphic desing or something like that also can be sponsored. (im not saying im going to do it). But can be do for one of the amazing campaing managers we have here.

Sorry if im not well expresed, english its not my mother tongue.

and how would that be? would each person post their biggest win and fair some screen shot to prove their win or will the casinos post their biggest wins along with some screen shot? speaking from a motivation point of view, this can be a good idea because it would create more motivation for other people, but it could also create illusions in other people, because seeing other people earn a lot, the tendency will be to copy that person and as a result we will have more people spending money they can't afford to lose

Well make it one table yeah do that, good idea to know that. We can see smart people in making predictions too so that their speech can be trusted to be followed, there are many interesting things on the board games and rounds, some people often win in a competition. You can check, if I'm not mistaken, also betja always makes a soccer prediction competition every week and the names of the participants are open for everyone to know. I agree with your idea.

Can't say I've witnessed something similar but it seems like a right kind of idea. Especially with the fact that, it would help the betting platforms gor which this best are been won on. Like the case of drake and stake.com. it surely created waves in the betting or gambling industry and you can agree with me that, some gamblers and even intending gamblers must have been won over in that singular display of won bet and also ability to pay.

Again, it would create a trend for the curious mind to follow in studying how these winners place there bets and arrived at a win. That's to say, the wall of fame goes. The question now is,

How would these bets be collated and ranged to determine who makes it in.

Good point raised - I would also want to know the same.
But that is good thread generated by where it is going? I hope you achieve you goals.
