Raffle No.1 - 0.81 ETH Prize - 10x Players 0.1 ETH Entry

[brassnuts]

The thing is you can set up these types of raffles in a contract or similar and do it vig free almost. 10% vig is just silly.

Thanks for everyones critique, it's just an idea. 

Yes and the community is just Helping you to maintain your reputation because this world of crypto is filled with different type of people and there are too many scam and shill that may try to take advantage of your idea(or vice versa of course as no one knows you being a Newbie here)
so that's good taking all the criticism and try to look at those to use as material on how to improve your intentions without having any hassles.

But for me personally? this is really a Bad Idea unless you can cook some more valid details to become more trusted .

Thanks for everyones critique, it's just an idea. 

The idea should be base on your position same as real life. Base on your rank and reputation it is impossible to trust you and hopefully think you have not enough idea how to control it. If you have then you could not express that. You can see a lot of questions base on your post but you could not answer any of those.

Look, maybe you didn't mean to offend anybody, but these words of yours

~ After reading about the trust issues users have of gambling websites being promoted on this forum, ~

sound insulting, well, to me at least. Since you are "New here", let me tell you that most gambling websites promoted on this forum are trustworthy, and the idea of the gambling section of this forum is to have all the needed info about crypto gambling assembled in one place. If we want to gamble, we can choose from many different established sites and go there. Why on earth do you think that we need a complete stranger to organise a raffle for us? Because we know that here are only scammers around us?

Seriously, dude, WTF?

I did not say gambling websites are not trustworthy. However you would have to agree that there a lot of questions regarding trustworthiness of gambling websites popping up on here. Talking of strangers, I take it you really know the person who you bet with? Have a nice day.

So it's like a blockchain lottery. We'll the idea is good but I think this is not the right board for it, I think the games and rounds is the right board to post this. That's was actually a good idea and good profit for hosting the game, does anyone join the game already?

• The 10 Users Each Send Me The Organiser 0.01 ETH

Thoughts and questions welcomed.

Nice try but not enough to convince people here to send you 0.01 I could have a hundred reasons not to send but not one reason to convince me why should I not, are we this idiot and naive to send you 0.01, I have not seen anything like this you should try to be moe constructive if you want to scam or beg people to give you money.

It will not happen, trust me. There were too many people tried to provide the same thing, but no one is interested to join. Frankly, it looks to me that you are trying to make few dollars for free only from the fee you will take from the pool.

[Kakmakr]

This will only work when all of the 10 people send their 0.1 ETH entry fee in advance to a trustworthy Escrow and then that Escrow pay the 1 winner in the end. If you do not get enough people to join this, you have to have someone that will be refunding the players... so there must be a third party between these players. 

It would be great if this could be "automated" in a smart contract between these players... so it will check for a result and then pay out the total balance of the winner. The smart contract must be clever enough to wait for all the 10 spots to be filled, before it pay out the winner. It must also subtract the fee for the person hosting this "raffle"

Thanks for everyones critique, it's just an idea.  

An idea that you didn't think first or do research before you post it. This kind of game needs a tremendous amount of transaction fee plus the main concern of many here about trust issue. People can just use a casino to gamble easily on different game without facing the risk and hassle of your program. I will only understand this if you are a trusted long time member but even a long time trusted member don't bother to organized this kind of event. You should think twice before making such a decision like this. This can be considered as a scam attempt since you are newbie asking for huge amount of money to put on your game.

Talking about facts, yes it will never happen, not even a slight chance of success. That's 0.19 ETH to the OP if ever there are also dumb people that may get hook in this scheme. It isn't just a few dollars tbh, that's still a huge amount considering his effort was just to get the people to join and wait for the raffle to end.

Welcome to the forum

I appreciate the way you invite us, but unfortunately it is too dangerous to bet with a fairly large nominal 0.1 ETH is not a small amount. Moreover, here we have occupied a betting casino which is much more guaranteed for all the funds we bet. Therefore there is nothing we can be sure of that what you have to offer can attract gamblers who easily risk 0.1 ETH.

The concept you describe does not have a source of support which is very important, considering there will be a large fee in it, so it is not enough to just write and without any conditions for guaranteeing someone's funds if you dare to bet on the lottery.

Hello guys,

New here and nice to meet you all.

Nice to meet you too, but you are new here and you want to run a raffle draw with over $400 entry at the current price of 0.1 ETH now.

Sorry mate, I think you are in the wrong place, you can't get people to trust you with their money, build your reputation first but even if you rank up and build a good reputation, an escrow is always advisable as not only newbies can scam, even the high-rank forum members.

[Shamm]

Hello guys,

New here and nice to meet you all. After reading about the trust issues users have of gambling websites being promoted on this forum, I'd like to welcome users interested in playing a fair and random raffle game directly on this forum.

Below is a concept idea.

How Raffle No.1 works :

Total Prize Is 0.81 ETH

• 10 Users 'Commit' To Enter For 0.1 ETH Each
• We Then Generate The Result Using RNG
• Winner Is Announced
• 9 Users Each Send The 1 Winner 0.09 ETH (1 Strike and Out Policy Meaning Failure To Pay Users Will Result In Instant Ban)
• The 10 Users Each Send Me The Organiser 0.01 ETH

Thoughts and questions are welcomed.

Hello Op nice to meet you too
First I want to say welcome to the forum
For you, it is good enough to deposit 0.1 ETH which is not just a small amount to deposit. But you must think the people around you if they accept that kind of deposit without assurance.
No offense To you OP looking at your profile and the way you introduce your site.
Many people disagree with you because you are not trusted enough to negotiate.

Maybe I don't know them personally, but I can see what is their reputation here, and make my conclusions. Hang around here for a while, build up some reputation, a good one, then open a thread with practically the same words, and I will never say that there's something wrong with that. Only I'm pretty sure that after spending some time reading this forum, your words won't be the same. At least regarding the organizer fee, they won't.

It's not easy to build a good reputation, especially in the beginning, because you have to start from zero. The idea presented in this thread, is too brave and for obvious reasons could not be successful. However, I think that if the OP would like to continue, he could use a trusted escrow and radically reduce, or even leave the fee for the first few raffles.

What happened to the plan event? looks like it is cancelled due to lack of response? i love the concept and i even wanted to be part if the account started this thread is trusted or at least not New to this forum.

but from someone who just created an account and at the same time posted this? it makes me think something fishy though i am not accusing OP of anything , it is just because of the funding in which denied to use Escrow .

OP is gone already IMO because he realized that his plan is not gaining any interest from forum members.
He might be thinking that his idea is great and will attract many users, but he was wrong absolutely.
Raffle/Lottery like what is prepared by OP is not attractive at all and it has been proven by the fact that there were many other similar failed offers.

Yeah, it seems that OP was come from some other world as he was feeling this forum is still having some chance for peoples like him to achieve their scam targets, but recently members are having some good enough information and all knowledge about these things, so it's not easy for anyone to create any hype for scam or anything like this.

As he realizes he slips away very quickly without wasting his more time for scam, but one thing is sure this forum is heaven for these peoples, and they will come again and again with projects like this but go back with empty hands because now enough updates and information available for all to check them and put them on their right place.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I think this topic should be moved to games and rounds anyway does the OP find participants to this round? I think you should also use escrow since the OP is newbie and we cannot trust anyone especially newbie accounts to hold the fund, right? Some people here might think this is scam but we shouldn't also consider that he might just looking for ways to earn as you can see he said that a portion of the entries will be taken as a fee because he organized it however it will not be successful just like what I have said because  first the OP is newbie second thing the raffle rounds was not that really popular anymore.

And sure will  never be back again because of His noob behavior , he does not even spend few time to observe the right behavior and treatment before delivering His scam plan 

at least the community will not react this faster like what he did, and also it is always questionable when a Newbie account offers such event or plans because this involves money and no one will trust him that easy .
 

but it is good that realization comes to him that fast, and now maybe he is planning more careful and will be back sooner.
