This thread is regarding the recent removal of vBookie. I think more things could have been done with vBookie instead of completely removing it.

I get that the vBookie section was dead but there was a few members for example AgentJon, Phiten that came on and betted on a majority of the events, I myself started getting into vBookie and betting again to bring it back to "life." I think that it doesn't have to be mainstream sports, throw some golf, tennis, hell even NHL is back...

I'm love sports and I'm sure a lot of other members here do too. I hardly play video games anymore, and if I do its Madden, NBA, or MLB. I'm not into Call Of Duty anymore, I don't want NGU being just gaming and general discussion, I would like to gamble on sporting events and talk about what I love, and I know others do too.

For the love of God (or whatever you believe in) bring vBookie back, and gather ideas that would make it alive again, the Accumulator, I haven't seen one of them since 2011, those got a lot of bets. Promote some of the active old vBookies AgentJon, Phiten, Alex, or even myself, I've caught up on my schooling. I'm just "saddened" that there is no longer a sports area anymore, vBookies gone, Sports discussions gone.

Sincerely, MLB.

When the debate started on removing vbookie, I knew it would come sooner over later.
Could have done some things with it but admins want to focus on other things over a small part of the site.
Shame but you needed to do a lot of work to keep vbookie alive.

Understand why it was done.

I miss the NGU from early & mid-2011 Cool Man (aka Tustin) + when they put up the poll, I knew either way they would remove vBookie, I enjoyed it while it lasted, though I think vBux was the reason. No one really uses it as much, it's just used in vbux giveaway threads for rep or whatever

I cried when I found out vBookie was gone! I just got into the betting system! I really love playing and watching sports, so this disappointed me!

Like a stock market? Happy

It's a shame for us OG's. I never really cared about vbookie and vbux, but I agree with other points made in this thread. The site has changed too much for me. It's catering for a different crowd nowadays.
