I was just taking a look at a few accounts and noticed some nice big bets being placed by some large balance members.
Though remember they can occasionally turn into a big loss.

It’s new month so let’s see what movement we have had over the last 7 weeks on the top balance board.
Highest Current Balances 04/27/09
Top Member Balance = $735.08
Top 05 Total Balance = $3306.77
Top 12 Total Balance = $6641.06
Average Top 12 Balance = $553.42
Highest Current Balances 03/05/09
Top Member Balance = $948.04
Top 05 Total Balance = $3393.90
Top 12 Total Balance = $6781.42
Average Top 12 Balance = $565.11
There has been a shuffle near the top with new members appearing in the top 3 positions and a big reduction in the top member balance of over $200. The other figures have just been reduced a small amount but with the new baseball season now started will we see some fluctuations over the next month.

There has been a change in the way you receive your new free 10 cents when you have run out of funds.
Previously when you collected your crony funds and then received the new 10 cents you were only given the 10 cents without crony earnings added.
This has now been changed so your crony earnings are added on top of the free 10 cents given by Centsports.
