You're 5th overall...not bad. Your team can't hang with us in the long run, though. Just wait!

This option has been disabled for now... initially it was implimented because it killed 3 birds with 1 stone:
1) - we hoped that folks who wagered poorly would go this route rather than making multiple accounts to try gaming the system, which means multiple chances to win at the points game for a real prize which is not fair
2) - it helps to go towards paying off the 2 dual Xeon servers that run this website along with bandwidth and co-location charges
3) - it would help those who join the game a few events or seasons later than others to keep up with (what will wind up being) the higher stakes wagers that we predict to be in play down the road a short time from now
It just seemed right to disable it for now since the whole future of the wagering system is currently up in the air for the fledling community to decide what they would enjoy the most....
Speaking of which, if you haven't cast your vote yet then get your asses in gear and let us know how you want things to be!!

Other people who already bought it still have the extra money. I assume they were also allowed to bet on the first event with it too. This means they had an unfair start.
