Why don't you 64 elitest, rich, lucky bastards who are ahead of me just donate a proportionate share (progressively, of course) to me and all the others who are "less fortunate" than I am. That would be more fair. After all, it's not that I am less intelligent, ambitious, or any other attribute of my own character that makes me only 65th on this list. I am just not as lucky, and am probably the victim of this system being rigged (does it strike anyone else as a sure sign of corruption that Jason Pham has way more money than the rest of us?) I just might start an "Occupy IE" movement if this unjust **** isn't corrected, and like pronto.

Ya jus gotta loin ta play da game.

You can use the classic johnnykilz scheme: pander shamelessly for donations, place a large vBet on a sure thing and retain 75% of your gross winnings after paying off the "loans" with minimal interest.

You could goad some of those above you into getting banned. You could post your ya-yas off to garner a bit of lucre while they are on v-vacation. Good luck with unseating Jason.

Or you could just take a page out of Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson's book of "How To Be a V-Billionaire Without Really Trying."

As the "brokest" mod I may have to sit out and renegotiate my contract.

"A billion here, a billion there ... pretty soon it adds up to a lot of money."

If you were starving and some of my largesse could help you, I'd donate. If I were starving, you'd ask for a tax break for yourself so you could theoretically create more jobs, thereby giving me a better shot to not starve (although actually you'd just take your tax savings and buy a boat and I would starve).

If he took his money and bought a couple of ambulances he could keep dozens of lawyers with incomes, and paralegals, and court clerks, and stenographers, and judges, and transcriptionists, and bailiffs, Jaguar salesmen, and tailors, and ...

"Deep pockes" and the litigators are possibily a prime example of trickle down economics. Some times it a trickle and sometimes Niagara Falls.

To the 1% on this list, "you didn't do that". And, if you are not soley responsible for making good decisions and earning it, then I refuse to take responsibility for making bad decisions and being vbroke. It makes sense if you don't think about it.

Looking forward to some hefty donations, you didn't earn it anyway, jerks. :)

I notice a lot of people here wishing the were richer. I don't however see them in vBook events. If you want to make vMoney research the sport and the teams paying and place some bets. Start small learn from your mistakes and grow.

Do you really want to know how to ready the bets? The rest is just looking at the teams and figuring out who you think will win by how much and what the total score will be. Then bet on what you think is the best bet/bets.

I was wondering the same thing.

Is it true when you reach a trillion vbucks you can trade them in for Sea-monkeys, xray glasses or an Obama chia pet?

I am only $111 from reaching the 1 mil mark. I have worked hard to achieve my dreams and I must thank the little people for helping me get here. Soon I will be counted among the rich. I can't wait! Any advice from those of you who were obviously born into money?

Liberal, do good, Enablers. They make their donations and leave feeling good about themselves. And once again, KPENN feels the adrenalin rush from betting easy money while the vwife and vkiddies do without their vgroceries.

KPENN is vaddicted but ophamacare provides.
