Alrighty! I'm at work too lol. I'll be on for a very short time around 6:00 EST, but then I'll be out again until around 10 PM EST. At least that's how my night is looking at the moment >.>

The Grindstone Fights, outside of Ul'dah. Have been known to have betting, amongst the audience. We could use a little more of it, to add to the flavor. If you're unaware. It is held In Central Thanalan, near the gates. Around the encampment where the fate "Cowardly Challenger" appears. Saturday Evenings at 9/10 EST. Cap'n Von, would obvious be interested in better; when he isn't cracking skulls himself.

Sounds good! Rae particpated in her first one last weekend xD but she usually observes. I don't know if I'll be making it this weekend, but next weekend I might see about having a more organized betting for it if enough people would be interested ^-^

Do bookies generally dislike it (threats may or may not come into play) when people make bets that aren't done through them?

Good question. I think if they were regulars and then suddenly switched to someone else they might not be too happy. I suppose it would depend on if it was like an independant or if there was 'mob' like connections involved :o

Like a new better getting in between rival bookies or making bets in an area that one bookie tends to use most often but uses an unknown person, etc.
Or maybe someone makes a very very fortunate bet against the favorite and wins lots of gil that the bookies are -very- unhappy with.
I started to think at work I'm sorry.
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Raeras - 02-13-2014
Don't be sorry for thinking XD. It's certainly a good idea for some drama! And there's certainly room for more bookies. Independants and more 'connected' ones alike.
\o/ Alllll the dramaaaa
We'll call it:
Turf Wars: Bookie Edition
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Kage - 02-13-2014
It sounds great.
I wish I knew how to fit Kage into that. Oops.

Hmmm That is interesting actually! And neat how they had it set up
RE: Seeking Betters and Contacts [Balmung] - Steel Wolf - 03-02-2014
I am unnaturally happy that this thing is a thing. :3
I might have to toss in a gil or ten for the hell of it. And now I REALLY hope there will be more games to come as a result of this whole thing being birthed.
