I dont understand why this needs to be monitored??

All that needs to be said in the rules of the thread is that it is not allowed to bet any money with other posters in the thread. It is just for discussion.

Im not arguing with you I just dont understand what really needs to be monitored hardcore.

It will bring a lot of traffic and ad revenue to the site.

As Chicken's attorney I have strongly advised him against opening a so called "bet board" due to potential legal issues that could arise.

Thank you for your interest and we apologize that we're not able to accommodate such a request at this time.

Feds are seizing gambling sites left and right. You don't monitor it and a bookie sets up shop, it could mean bad things for TD.com.

Which is exactly the kind of thing that would bring authorities scrutiny. Let's say for shits and giggles, a bookie did set up shop and the board wasn't being monitored. TD would have two problems 1) The board is being used to facilitate federal violations via online gambling 2) They received revenue from adds based on the gambling boards high traffic. This would put TD in the position of defending their actions. Just not sure if it's worth that. Admins work hard as it is, IMO. Why even take the risk? Seizure of websites is becoming increasingly easy. Google Bodog.com and see how they were shutdown. Interesting stuff. Could you imagine TD.com shutdown...WTF would we all do?
