I'm looking for an easy way to earn some points and rep on here. There arn't very many vBets going on right now and i really don't know of many other ways to get points besides posting.

I can't use Theif because it always says i don't have enough points to do it. Also i wasn't sure if there was a way to earn rep besides people giving it to you.

Could someone please tell me ways of doing both...seems like the site would be more fun if i could get more points and buy stuff.

You can always donate real money... $1 gets you 1000 points.

A good way to earn rep is to:
A) Not ask for it (Might well get quite the opposite)
B) Make particularly good posts (not saying you dont, just saying that's the way to get rep)

In short, there is no easy way to earn rep.. that's why it's "earned"

As points go, the vbetting will pick up as football approaches.

Don't I always? I am assuming, though, that this is an ongoing deal... or was it intended to be a limited-time thing for the Spring Drive?

Oh... and Scoonie - if you withdraw the points you have in the bank, you should be able to use them in theiving attempts. You're much more likely to lose them than make anything, though. Be warned that failed attempts cost you.

Ok, i figured there wasn't an easy way to get rep. I know about the Theif penalty because i did it once.

Another quick question....do i earn interest from the bank with most my points in the bank or out of the bank. I would figure in the bank but just want to make sure.

EDIT: I am not asking for people to give me rep or begging for rep in any way. Just wondering how to EARN rep.

There was a vbPlaza FAQ thread a while back. You can search for that to answer some questions.

I do believe your vMoney must be banked to earn interest...

And as was said earlier, the vBetting will pick up. There's just not much to vBet on right now...

I wasn't here for last football season-- so could someone tell me how the betting works?

Is it like a tournament, a week to week thing, or what? Also, how many points do you generally get for choosing correct teams?

vBets will vary, some are posted every week. There are game bets against the spread, as well as other bets made at the whim of the 'bet-masters'. Something like "Who will score the Buckeyes' first TD of the season?", with different odds for several players, is usually created.

Each bet shows the odds for all of its options when it appears. There is a vBet right now in the football forum, regarding whether or not Beanie Wells or Pittman will have the most touches after game 5. But that bet won't pay out until the end of the season.

There are also contests, that aren't directly involved with vCash, that you can participate in throughout the season. gbearbuck runs a contest where each participant picks winners (against the pointspread) of several games each week. You can search football forum threads titled "Pick'em" to see last year's contest - there's a different thread for each week.

I will again run a 'Weekly upset picks' contest, where each week participants choose just one underdog from a list of games. If that underdog wins, you are awarded the number of points that their opponent was favored by. At the end of the regular season, the person with the highest total is declared the winner. That is just a single thread for the entire season.

There are also competitions for fantasy NFL football.
