I've been thinking about a work around for what happens when someone reaches the quardrillion mark and can no longer bet.
Our version of vBookie does not allow you to save anything in savings even though there is a savings option.
Would it be possible to allow users that reach say 500 trillion to open another ASFN account, i.e. O2, Shane H2, etc, to use just as a depository for A$FN bucks. A bank so to speak. Not to be used for posting or anything else other than a place to store fake money.
There shouldn't be a penalty for beating the game as there is now when you reach a quadrillion.
I'm just throwing out an idea here.
Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Give it away! At least, that's what I'm probably going to do when I start getting close to the mark.

Thats already been done. One of the main reason many people on here even have near the amounts of money that they do is because Between myself, O, Mulli, and Diehard I know for a fact we have given away trillion upon trillions. :D

I don't know how much good it would do. It might buy you a couple more weeks of betting at best. I don't think it would take very long to go from $1 Quadrillion to $2 Quadrillion.

I missed vBookie the first week but I am ok without it. Of course if I was able to start betting again it would once again have me watching games that I ordinarily wouldn't care about watching and parked in front of the computer waiting for the next vBookie event. :)

Sorry. I guess I had a brain cramp. I see what you are saying O in that we can accumulate our winnings in one account and bet in the other. I guess the only variable we don't know is how high of a balance will vBookie let you go to. The system wouldn't let you place wagers once you hit $ 1 quadrillion, but who knows what would happen once a person acquired $ 10 quadrillion, etc. I would think at some point the system would tilt when it came to the total amount shown in your account that was being used to store your A$FN winnings.

I would like to know why the system doesn't allow us to deposit our A$FN money though into the savings account feature of the program in order to accommodate future wagering. I think that should be the direction taken to possibly resolve our current situation.

Maybe there's a different version or an update for the current version of vbookie the site is using...? Someone's likely run into this problem before...on some site...

I tried doing a Google search and couldn't find anything.



As far as I know it's never worked.

Savings did work in the begining but something happened. All of a sudden one day it was all gone. I remember getting my money back but not sure why savings got turned off.

I give out a decent amount of money too but not in the trillions but easily in the billions. Don't leave me off the donor list!!

Don't Worry O. I'll be your "bank". Just as long as you dont mind not getting that vbookie bucks back anytime soon (until i start winning on a consistent basis, that is)

There's a little something to help you get back on a winning streak.
