This is a poll for Mark to see if enabling Art Money for SO5 is needed. For myself and league terms it is a massive time saver and l would like it to be introduced back in

couldn't care either way, i've not struggled doing the betting thing, in 2 days i made 35 million, more than enough to get me sorted. You're just lazy!

For the fact you're also doing it for online competition i hope Mark doesn't buckle to requests.. You're basically cheating your way to victory online.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Doing the betting thing (CTRL ALT DEL) is exactly the same as art money it just takes far less time. You are playing 1 game where l am playing 12 so to do the betting thing 12 times takes forever and has no advantage for the online league except more time to breed. LAZY = Sorry for actually having a life and not having time to CHEAT by escaping the game after l know the result and then bet on them!!!

You're both slagging each other off for cheating. Incredible.

I can't sit here and read this without drawing attention to a guy who is playing 12 games at once saying "sorry for having a life" lmfao.

But i'm not playing it online in the online league, so i'm not cheating to win against people, i'm cheating for my own personal experience on my own personal game...

Also, how can you use an excuse for personal time in regards to the method i used and the method you want to use? i spent probably 20 mins doing mine... I guess that now means i have no job and sit on SO5 daily? sort yourself out..

If you don't like the game or what you can or can't do with the game, go play viva pinata.

Exactly, what a farce of a reasoning...

I dont see what the problem is in using art money i couldn't care less either way you both get what you want loads of money i think mark should allow it i would use art money if it was available but at the moment its not so i will soldier on

I haven't bourght the game so5 yet but I am soon, and I don't believe Art Money is needed westy, I do believe that it's not all about the league sorry to say that, there are some people that enjoy playing the game the way it should be played.

Good on you Mark for Stopping Art Money.

Sorry but art money isn't needed, to play this great game.

I used to use Artmoney but don't miss it now.
But I must say in mwesty's defence that NO CHEATING should be allowed at all including the ctrl alt del/ why include one and not the other.

Surely it's impossible to get rid of the ctrl alt delete option.
Anyhow playing in windowed mode you just press the x anyway.
I just made 75mil on the first day of the season by having two winners and two R/F come in.
Quick and easy.

To get rid of the betting cheat, if wanted, you have to separate stable money from betting money. Every month a stable owner should get a % of the stable money for betting which he can't use for horse auctions etc, it's just for the betting part.
Don't get me wrong, I know many players like to have money fast, to speed up their breeding for league in many cases, but for the pure single player part or even chances for every player, this would be a solution, to separate betting money from auction money.

I don't think would work. Realistically the money you win from betting would have to stay betting money, so to speak, as it was won through betting not prize money.

Everyone is entitled to play their game anyway they like. For me I will play a game on hard after getting used to the new layout+features without quitting the game to make money. But for league purposes I will "cheat" to get very good horses to breed with etc. And that because I do have a life and dont have the time.
