I know it happens in real life with Team Bosses who are well semi friendly with each other.

In iGP i suggest it start small with managers betting on the finishing positions of their drivers.
Like a Podium, top 15 etc.

It wont cost much like 50k maybe to get in and the pot goes to the closest winner at the end of each race.

I think this adds another level of excitment for the managers, if anything gets them interacting a bit more.

If betting among managers is frowned appon then the other idea is to bet against the system.

I\'m Gonna Win this race HAL! wanna Bet on it?
HAL: Sure thing dave, if you win I\'ll add 2m to your iGP account.
Dave: and If i loose?
HAL: Assembly cost will be raised 2% or something like that w/e

I like this idea because it could add to the interaction between managers as you say.  One problem though is that it could easily be exploited by making fake accounts and loading the money into a primary account.

I think the developers were aware of these suggestions in the past and are thinking of implimenting some friendly league systems.
Not sure about the money aspect though.

This is exactly why there are next to no interactions inter-team in iGP Manager. We want to prevent in any way possible such exploits.

The only way this suggestion could work is if it was in a purely negative context. For example if you lose the bet you lose money but the other manager doesn\'t gain it. But where\'s the fun in that?

Many similar ideas came up during development, but weren\'t implemented for these reasons. If there is a way to make them workable though we may revisit such ideas in future.
