If you bet and ping, not only do you automatically lose the money you placed, but the tc you bet is no longer counted towards the winnings for other players should you lose the bet. This is a real pain for all parties involved - not just the person who pinged.
If this is at all possible I strongly believe it should be implemented. So many times I've seen people lose 100k+ (so over $5-worth of tc) because the server was unstable and a bunch of people pinged. It's so frustrating and could definitely be a big factor driving people away from the game.
Please, please elevate.
