Gameshow ppitch feedback

[ifm]

It's spelt pastime 

I actually realised that as i hit post but couldn't be arsed to change it

I just thought someone would gamble their own money different than someone elses. If someone gave me 1k i would stick it all on one dog without hesitation but i would not do that with my own 1k.

if you are told that you will lose the £1000 even if you win the bet unless your winnings are big enough people will gamble differently

there is no way you can turn gambling into a game show without getting people to behave differently than they usaully would

I have to say i am sick and tired of people being criticised for spelling/grammar etc. on this forum.
Is this the new passtime?
This has always been a warm, friendly, inviting place to be, but how the hell do people (especially new members) feel about posting when they are terrified of being ridiculed??
Pack it in folks, it ain't funny.

I agree  so long as you know what message they are trying to get accross, what does it matter if the spelling is correct!!

I was trying to be helpful, I did not ridicule anyone, nor was I trying to be funny.

I do understand your point, but the forum is much easier for everyone to read if a minimum of effort is applied to writing posts.

Did someone mention mention gambling gameshow??
 
Well here I am the gambling gameshow legend   and I will try not to mention Casino Casino too much. From my own experience I can back up Ironsides comment, in that I was gambling with pretend money and made large speculative bets that i would never do if it was my money.
I would imagine the punters will be trying for longer odds and you could end up with very few wins and maybe one flukey win taking home the money. I probably fall in to the category of going on any show within reason to get on the telly, but too be honest i wouldn't gamble £1000 of my own to do this.

The premium rate phone idea is probably sound as it spreads the cost and you are more likely to get a wider range rather than just pro/semi pro punters, or those with more money. Another idea would be to run a poker tournament with a nominal buy in with the winners going on the show, obviously need enough entering to cover the money needed. Along the same lines as many other poker shows. This also gives the TV Company the opportunity to have a sponsorship tie in with one of the online poker/casino companies.
Anyway an interesting post and responses, good luck with the show.

Wardonkey, I was not having a go at anyone in particular, it was not really about this thread, this has been going on over the past couple of weeks, and as always Red Dog has managed to put the whole in perspective far better than I ever could
