    i think there should be a few more staff members that also control sportsbook as it is a really popular thing that everybody loves. We are missing out on the England Premier league today :( which would've been good to bet on and also plenty of other sports that we miss :(

    -1 with the staff team being as unpredictable as it is, some would set up the games to be in their favor.

    -1. That would limit who could play. Plus @oxwood2 it always comes from an official place. Andrew doesn't just make the odds.

    (And you're banned and imo shouldn't even be able to use the sportsbook but that's none of my business.)

    You can still use sportsbook if you are in game banned. If you Are forum banned you can't use it

    @LotteryHaxer - he said "shouldn't".
    @TM_iBeast - I'm sure some non-sports fans on the staff team could help out with that though.

    I wouldn't trust staff to set the odds to the website. Many staff in positions of power have abused their power and they will continue to do so. Giving them another chance to abuse power is a bad idea.

    They can also abuse a variety of other commands like applying ranks takeing $ out of people's bals doing lwc's for personal gain and when the bank 1st came out, in pretty sure dewsy handled the deposit apps, who was a mod, not an owner. My point it yes, it is abusable but so are many things, why this is different, idk. I would think Phys trusts 1-2 staff for this. Staff were hired for a reason

    I think for this reason we'd restrict the people in charge to GameAdmins or higher, and only if Andrew/Dewsy/Phys/Nicit trusts them.
    Those last two people I mentioned should get sportsbook permission, for starters.

    I'd be fine if nicit/dews/oreo did it but look at the last staff to abuse powers. Both were game admins.

    I'm just gonna say, do you know how easy it is to see who made the event and who bet on them? Oh you made it then bet on it? Let me doublecheck the website to make sure you put the right odds. Oh you did? Ok no abuse. Oh you didn't? Abuse, instant kick from less than 2 minutes of work. @oxwood2

    You don't have to bet on an event to abuse it, for example you could tell your friends to bet. That would result in checking every single event which would just take more time and hastle than having just Andrew doing them. If you give sports book permissions to other people make sure they are ABSOLUTELY trusted

    Only one I would trust to do them would be Nicit,
    No offence GA's.

    But i would prefer Nicit to do all the other things he is currently doing and not bother about Sportsbook.
    As he does do a lot already. Don't wanna burn him out... xD

    I'd say my opinion, but oxwood has pretty much said everything I would have said.

    tl;dr Staff team = No. Nicit = Yes.
