The question is and still renains;
What can or will Keebali do.
My vote says nothing.


Keebali did something when people complained that they weren't allowed to bet anymore. They divided everyone's money total by 6 digits. If they did that,they should be able to multiply it back, but at what expense?

Keebali has to get a hold of the developer that created the addon and submit a bug ticket or whatever you want to call it. Then the developers have to decide on whether to fix it or not. They don't even have to fix it. The solution to this issue won't be immediate, we should keep that in mind.

I haven't seen any other instance of someone having a quadrillion dollars with vbookie. When you google the phrase, a link to a thread from ASFN comes up.

Look, it's unfortunate that there is a bug in the code, but it is what it is. No matter what the solution is, someone is going to be upset. Relax guys. Some of you are taking this fake money bit WAY too seriously.

I'm not upset at all but that arbitrary decision was a little extreme and not very well thought out just as restricting the amount people can bet would be.

I have a plah to get everyone back in the game.
Bear with me and let's see if this works.

Really that has done nothing but totally screw over the idea of returning everybody's money that was wrongfully taken from them. You're altering everyone's balances so that if keebali fixed it by multiplication it would not be a return to where everyone was before the mess-up.

I voted for Restore vBookie all money but since too much time has passed since the ridiculous division of our funds it would be impossible to make things right.

The only immediate solution is a complete reset so we all start off as equals.

Do we still get a monthly addition to our accounts? At one time we did for everyone who is an asfn contributor.

How about you place a ridiculous easy bet that pays 10,000:1?

Like "The Sun Will Come Up Tomorrow". Then everybody that bets on it it will get most of their money back. :)

Isn't that how everyone got so rich in the first place?

Keebali still needs to reset this since they screwed everyone out of their money.

I've emailed them but it does no good.

Evidently they only listen to Shane.

I don't know how it could be reset at this stage. Everybody that I know of received a haircut except for those that had money sheltered in an already existing vBookie event. There is still a vBookie event that is closed with pre-cut A$FN money in it that pays off when the regular season ends, so those that guessed correctly on that event will receive a disproportionate amount as well.
