I think there's some trick to getting your vCash started again. I don't remember where it is. Link anyone? |

All-in. I lost 10 grand against UT, now it's time to work my way back into the high roller lounge.

Whenever a new event is started, if your total is low enough, you will be given another $25. It is a form of BP welfare. If this is how you get your cash you should place your bets in shame.
To be honest I am not 100% sure what the new limit is. I just set up a new event and I know it set a user's balance to $25 even who had a balance of $3-something going in.
If you are low on cash you want to get your bets down quickly and take advantage of the system. That is one reason I try to set bets up in groups - to thwart the efforts of those who would exploit welfare. |

I never really considered myself a welfare abuser until now (although, in all fairness this is the first freebie I've ever gotten. I just got a feeling this time!!!) EDIT - Man that came out wrong 
So is it wrong for me to put the 25 vBucks I just got into this bet?  Maybe you know of a reputable charity?

Does this count even if your vcash is just tied up in bets? |

Most welfare abusers don't. 
I'm all-in, but I think rock3tman shouldn't place any vbets on this one. It is a road game afterall, and we can't afford to pile on the bad luck.
