Meh I'm against sports gambling so I don't think we should add anymore. I'd rather keep.the league about cheering for my team and player to do good not making sure my prop bets pay off

the casino takes from the poor and gives to the rich. it's a reverse robin hood, and has left too many people in debt. i also hate gambling in general so i'd be glad to see it go.

I hope others have great suggestions with this mPT, because I honestly have no clue. I've never interacted with Casino, and honestly probably never will. Not for lack of effort by anyone's part. It's just not my cup of tea

I would like to see some betting options for player stats during the season. This can include over and under on player goals, player points, blocked shots, goalie wins, etc. I find it fine with just the teams now, but this can be another option to look at.

I think it would be a cool addition to the casino to add a survivor bet where you can buy in any week, and the pot just keeps rising through the season where the winner of the pot can be split between the top 3 in correct guesses. To make it interesting, you cannot pick the same team a certain number of times which i don't want to do the math for at this time to make it fair.

Longer odds, some crazy weekly parlays where you can beat on like 15 players scoring or not scoring and acting accordingly. Image beating Luke to 2 billion by hitting a 25 player bet!

I have not delved into the casino yet, but I'd really like to see some absolutely crazy bets. Stuff that's got a chance of happening but is so far out there that if it hits, it'll make someone real happy!

Oh man this is a tough one. On the one hand, it's a unique way for people to interact with the site, a different way to earn money and gives some kind of stock into the season performance of the league as a whole. Others have mentioned that players in real life can't bet on their own games, and that's true, but if we're being technical we (the users) have no impact on our player's game-to-game performance outside of just spending TPE, so that's a moot point.
However, I can see how it could potentially get out of hand money-wise or takeaway from potential f o r u m c o n t e n t. As it is right now, I don't think it does that and I don't think it's quite making people beaucoup bucks. I like keeping the current system (maybe just move it to the portal though and have it reset at the start of each season like the coaching?) as it is. Current Player:

I don't think I've ever used the casino and am on record in previous asks about not liking it and wishing it would go away. So yeah, that opinion hasn't changed.

The Casino is a hive of scum and villainy, and we would be well rid of it. Honest users earn their money through hard work, creating and making new artworks or keeping the league engines running, not through pushing money around on gambling.

Give me parlays! Let me bet on game over/unders. Let me bet on players, both season and per game. Oh, and award winners... ok not that one, since it's voted for by users that would be corrupt.

Derek Martin has been a major advocate against gambling over his career. He's always felt extremely weird about it being promoted as much in hockey as it is, considering the life altering repercussions gambling can have on people.
