This.... ...is the birth of an idea I had this morning. A game I'm going to be working on for a day or so and then--maybe next week after I fashion it more and get suggestions from you guys about it and stuff to add and etc--I plan to ask the mods over there if I may start it. It will be Straightdope Roulette, as you can (hopefully) see. The way to play is simple. A number caller is picked (by me, the host of the game). The number caller may not ever place bets. Just randomly pick numbers. But first, whoever wants to play will make their bets first. Everyone who wants to play can. The topic will basically say "All dopers who wish to play/bet have 100 points to their name automatically." So you see, it won't be a game people have to sign up for. Just one people post in and play if they want to play. So they make bets (spending as much of their 100 points as they want on the various things) and then the number caller will say a random number. The numbers they will pick are past post numbers. I will then view a single post, change the address bar to read showpostid=#######, (where the number randomly said goes where the #'s are) and whatever post comes up, THAT will be the proverbial place the ball stops on and the post used to compare to how the people playing bet. In exactly ONE day (yes, just one), whoever has the MOST POINTS will be the winner. (And by the way, obviously the display above will not be the one used on the SDMB....that is just a temp thing, whatever it's called, to show the example of what it'll look like. The real one will have well-known and regular posters in where our names are (haha, not to say one of us won't possibly be on the real roulette board). Consquently, since the SD doesn't have table making enabled, I will be putting this display on another page (such as a spreadsheet) and link to it so everyone can always see what they can bet on). This whole idea and game play is still in it's baby stages as I just thought of it an hour ago. But what you all think? Any suggestions? Anything at all, good or bad, is welcome.

I don't quite get the table, but my other (and more important) question is how do you ensure the honesty of the number caller.

It's set up to look like a typical roulette wheel...or rather, the best I can do online. I've thought of that question myself but I figure, if a person isn't betting or playing, why would they be tempted to lie?

You could also get somebody that doesn't visit the Doper board often but visits here to do the calling. Of course that limits your options, but it's a thought!
