CoyoteRed Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Here is a better link. As I read it, probably much ado about nothing. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Totally can't see that it's any concern of yours, or why you would care what geocachers do outside of hiding and finding caches. Quote Link to comment

You DO know there are poker tournaments at some of the bigger events.... Maybe you and your moral majority can boycott and bring geocaching to its knees. Quote Link to comment

+J-Way Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Facinating... is it considered FTF betting if a hider places a valuable "FTF Prize" (unregistered coin, cash, etc.)? If not, what's the difference between that and having a group place side bets on who gets the most First-to-finds? I agree with earlier comments... who cares? Quote Link to comment
+KBI Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Is this what caching has come to? I've got a crisp new fiver that says no. Who's in? Quote Link to comment

+mtn-man Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The Georgia Geocachers Association is NOT doing this. Some people in GA are. The person who posted that topic in our forums has a whopping two posts, both in that topic. Just to clarify. Quote Link to comment

Confusing isn't it. Bet you cannot guess where I will be tomorrow! Only my most recent finds list knows for sure. Let's think about this. If a nervous sock puppet were trying to cover his tracks, what kind of rambling, long-winded explanation do you think he might try to throw together and post under his real account?

+Confucius' Cat Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Has anyone taken odds on how long this topic stays open? If YOU do, that would be a conflict of interest. Now, to facilitate the above cause, i shall do my best thread hijacking: Yesterday i stood in line at a convenience store behind a lady buying lottery tickets (see- linked to "gambling" to appear on-topic). She pointed and said, "2 number 9, 5 # 27, 4 #33, 2 #6, no! not number 6, I'll have 2 #7 instead..." On and on and ON it went whilst the line formed out the door and down the block. i says to the guy in front of me, I says, "gee lady, why dontcha do us all a favour and just write an extra thousand dollar check to the state next April 15th and let us pay for our pop and get outa here!"
