WE NEED A HALL OF FAME?

[Findingnemo]

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.

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!

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.

[safari88]

I think OP would be just using publicly available information that are also released from those who manages competitions, therefore making this a more concise compilation of winners thread. If I am wrong, fell free to correct me. But I would just say that you should go for it, OP. Just try to show what you wanna do, then the community will decide if it works for them or not, then we will all see if this idea is good or not.

[jossiel]

That sounds good.

You can personal make that and as given with the example you've got. You should start doing that for everyone to see so that those that don't understand how it looks like.

Will be able to see on how it's going to be looking like. It'll be like an overview of those that you've given based on the description.

[Tellek Garing]

The general idea of a gambling hall of fame is a nice idea but then we must consider other members who are part of the active gambling with participation in tournaments such like the Betnomy tournament that ended some months back who doe not want the winning to be made public and value their privacy.

How do we intend to get the history and data of other players if their not willing to share it them self because of value for privacy.

[madnessteat]

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.

Well, why? Anyone who wants to amuse his ego can himself create a thread about his achievements and share there his story of winnings.

Many of us give some advice on the forum and I would be interested to know which of the forum users has a really advanced skills in a particular game of chance and such a theme would contribute to this.

[fiulpro]

seems like a good idea to me.
in the past there was that of "directbet"
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522.0
which collected all the winners of their competitions, with the closure of their site it is obviously no longer updated

I find it a bit more complicated to create a "multiple betting site" also considering that the competitions/rules change, but I believe that a solution can be found...

If we are actually willing to do that then I do think that we should have a topic where the people can post their best achievements as well and not only that they have to ofc submit their proof as well to make sure no one tries to act funny in the case after that I do think we need to have seperate session for people who have been handling the mega threads as well most of them are doing a great deal. But then again what benefits would they get out of here ? You might have to try and decide something like a trophy 🏆 or some prizes as well which again is not something easy to do. Therefore it's a bit of a problematic situation.

[dimonstration]

AFAIK, Hall of Fame is being use to give honor to those user that achieve multiple win or highest achievement on the sector that he is doing. Only sportsbet casino is the only Casino that I know that launch a regular prediction thread for more than a year and the rest is just seasonal or one time. So maybe you are not looking for a hall of fame but rather the history of winners on all the promotions here or hall of fame for the certain tournaments. This is just my opinion but winning one time can’t be considered as major achievement especially if the number of participants is small. Maybe just create a thread for history of winners.

the hall of fame is not created just for a benefit. it is a simple way to "reward" users who have distinguished themselves in a certain competition or with some betting games.

it sure is a good way to highlight good bettors from the crowd of tipster that "sell" their "services"...

[adzino]

I made this post because i think we, the community of gambling of bitcointalk need a kind of Hall of Fame.

What im saying?. Some like a thread that show all the winner of major events like, big Poker tournaments, Predictions pools.


You can see all the winners of the tournaments or best positioning in one post. And also this can work like a "trust" tabble to who is speaking in any thread, like ohhh see he is the winner of X competition.

Example:

Top 3 of BETNOMI POKER SERIES.
Top 3 of Sportsbet Predictions POOL


What do you think?

How would we know that those aren't some fake wins to boost the casinos reputation? And I doubt any winners would want to post that they won huge in a tournament because they get nothing out of it. So it should be like someone willing to collect those data and verify it.

Would be a waste of time to know who the winners are. Those information would be useless. Would be better if it was a list of upcoming tournament or series, but i bet there are  hundreds of such platform that continuously tracks those events. How about you collect those data and create a thread and keep others updated?

[darxiaomi]

I can not believe that it is not understood that casinos have nothing to do with it.
I'm telling you that all data is public, and that it's all between community participants. NO BIG WINNERS AGAINST CASINOS.

Can you please for example see this thread? Can you SEE its all public information and its between user of the forum.

Its not difficult to understand.

I don't think this is necessarily needed but you can just browse their respective announcement threads because they will always post the usernames of those who win. If a user likes to read and has an interest on different kinds of gambling then he will surely know if who are the users on this forum that are good at gambling.

Also on this section (gambling discussion) there is one thread here before where the op lists the best gamblers on the forum, like for example this user here is good at slots and this other user is good at boxing and so on. I am doing a back reading at the moment of writing but I can't seem to find that thread, sad .

[savetheFORUM]

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.

If it's a local tourney that is held in bitcointalk, there is no way that the winner's name can be hide but if it was a tourney held in gambling sites,A player has an option to hide himself but owners can still post the results here but their name still shows as hidden, like what we are seeing on primedice and stake threads.

There must be a reason why some prefer to private their bet information including the number of wagers or currency used in the game but for me I will be proud when someone sees my name and other statistics. Adding a custom tag seems a good idea. It already happened here before for some v.i.p's and artists. Maybe theymos will consider it once again but this time for the gamblers.

[traderethereum]

I don't know if that's a good idea or not because some people don't like being called the best of the lot.
For this, they are the best and do not want to be named and prefer to keep it to themselves.
But some people would love to see their name on the list that @OP meant so maybe it will spur them on to do even better.
If @OP thinks it's a good thing then he can make the list but if not then I don't think it's necessary because it might lead to arrogance later.

What do you think?

I don't think the forum administration will ever get involved to let it mark on some users in their profiles if that's what you're asking.  People tend to forget if it wouldn't be regularly tournaments and on the forum's side that is reasonable considering people just come and go and besides all or I'd say most are just here partly on their time and not fully.

[Peanutswar]

I guess its an ideal thread and interesting at the same time but most of the thread have their own gambling platform must need to have a categories with this kind of thread like top 10 in the particular gambling platform also question is that only with the community here or we just need to post the others achievement and share here just a thought.

[Smartvirus]

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.

Where the hell will the jealousy be coming from. Are there really those that are like this, on a platform where most users stays truly anonymous to themselves..? And to think of it, Curses, are those gor real too and do they really work because, I strongly doubt that. I mean, our luck or misfortune are what we make of it for ourselves.

Perhaps staying private in your gambling affairs gives you a sense of security or keeps off the sentiment that you could be cursed and that would account for your misfortune in the gambling business, that goes too but, that these things happens normally out of jealousy for whom you don't even know... I'm not so sure.

Definitely, I think we would benefit as a community from having some kind of recognition for amazing results and wins. That would also be a way to make the gambling community more active and provide a bit of extra fun. But the question has to be asked: would this kind of recognition egg on bad habits for the people who are currently already suffering from gambling addiction?

We should definitely weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

[Dunamisx]

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

I see it a good idea if something like having a collection of winning stakes on games and presenting them with authentic proofs just like the screenshot you've mentioned, it's a choice to give out your information on winning, i understand that gamblers are as well conscious of their privacy but i think there are many ways this could be achieved without any compromise, but genuity is what we sought for whereby everyone could present his experience just as it is, if you loose or win then make it known while protecting your privacy.
