All fine and dandy.

One question.

What happens to the points lost?
Do they get channeled into someone's account?

OK that's two questions

At last.

Something interesting to do with all those points won in the arcade.

Is it the same with store taxes?

They're just added to the price but don't get credited to a "tax collector's" account?

More than likely.

Unlike..say...Everquest, where the money has to come from somewhere, the points system just magically keeps making points as people earn them...otherwise it would just run out.

So, there's no need for NZB to store the points it takes back.

Exactly what I said when I placed a bet for my dad, on NZ to beat England 2 or 3 years ago...and we got trounced.

*skips around showing off newfound wealth*

and here I was thinking that to put 10,000 on for NZ to win by 13 or over was being optimistic. I was pretty certain I would lose my 10,000.

if only it were real money

*sighs*

ABs are the best team in the world (this coming from a South African). The Springboks play like a bunch of women (no offense to the girls here). They should include ballet tutus in the uniform next season, maybe then they will feel more comfortable on the field.
