Card Betting

[Jayvegas420]

Could someone tell me where the best place would be to post a thread about sports card betting.
When the Sports Card betting forum was taken down I was told that sports card betting would still be permitted but, the wagers would have to be agreed upon in PM's.

I'd like to post a thread where I can find out which members would be interested in this and have a list on hand.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Actually, sports card betting (or betting of any kind for that matter) is not allowed under the SCF Rules. The Posting Guidelines section addresses betting:

V Posting Guidelines:

SCF offers a wide range of forums. Always locate the proper forum before posting. If you are unsure, contact a member of the staff to assist you.

Thread hijacking or trolling is not permitted on SCF. Hijacking a thread is considered taking over a thread that you did not originally create and posting something that has nothing to do with its actual subject matter. Examples are trying to sell or trade cards in a thread where the original thread starter is doing the same or jumping in a thread to elicit information about an item that was not mentioned by the thread starter. To remedy this, simply create a new thread. Trolling is considered making comments in someone's thread in provocation to create emotional distress towards other people or picking a fight.

Bumping a thread is only allowed after 8 hours have passed since you last posted if you are the last poster. Also, you may not bump more than once in an 8-hour period. You are not permitted to bump a thread if it is still located on the first page of the forum. Bumping is considered any post that is not in response to a previous post. This includes items such as “ttt”, “bump”, “list updated”, etc. Please note that this rule applies to the trading and buying/selling forums.

Posting a thread for the purpose of having someone give or look up a book value on an item is prohibited. If you are in trade talks, book values can be used and posted as long as the source is not cited.

When you post cards for trade, please combine your lists to a single post instead of having multiple threads for a single card/player. This rule is to help let everyone have an equal chance of having their thread on the front page longer instead of a single person having multiple threads dominating the whole page.

If you wish to run a contest, you must contact the Contest Manager prior to posting it.

Please do not post any trader information such as addresses, feedback or email addresses directly on the forums. This is private information.

There is no gambling of any kind on SCF including fantasy sports leagues, betting cards, betting card cash, or anything that has value.

SCF Staff members reserve the right to close or delete any post or thread that may be deemed unacceptable or improper for this website.

Gambling can cause a lot of legal issues for SCF, so it's not allowed in any way. If you posted a thread any where on the site about sports card betting, it would be closed and could result in a warning or infraction. Sorry, but you'll have to find somewhere else for that.

well that explains it.
thanks
any idea what the rationale is behind this decision?

[OnePimpTiger]

It's the legal aspect. Any time any type of betting for anything of value is going on, it raises a lot of legal questions and could put SCF and its owner in a bad situation. So to avoid all of that, it was decided to just not worry with any of it. Saves a lot of headaches and possible legal problems for SCF.

A second point to add is that the site does not want to have minors participate in this activity.

Yeah, it's kind of illegal when SCF can't verify ages too.
