Bets will be doen on who will win the Championship match. Whoever wins it all will be the person to be the Bet result.

Rules:
- Everyone can play and Bet for only 1 person.
- Withdrawing bets will be done if and only if your player has not yet lost a match.
- Changing minerals to your bet can be done if and only if your player has not lost.
- To place a Bet just send me the minerals and a message with the person who you will be betting for.
- Once the results of the first match is posted placing bets is closed. Time to place Bets is short and unknown so hurry UP!
-If no user wins the Bet, meaning no one placed a Bet for the person who won, all Bet money will be distributed among the Top 4 finalists in the tournament.

Gameplay:
You will place a bet with X amount of minerals to X player(s).
If the person you betted for lost, then you lost your minerals.

You do know this isn't how real gambling works, right?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by BeeR_KeG on 2005-03-07 at 19:06:33
Actually, this is more like the gambling in horse races.
But the house(me) doesn't get any profits.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2005-03-07 at 19:10:49
Gambling in horse races you set odds on the horses and pay the betters on the winning horse their due money based on odds and keep the loser's bets. Naturally; you put low odds on the favorite.

Don't see any odds in your system.

I don't quite see how this works, or maybe I'm just not thinking straight. Lets say 8 people place a 10 mineral bet on different players. Then a 9th person puts down a 100 mineral bet on a player. If the 9th player and one of the other players win, how do you determine how many minerals they make from the 180 mineral pot? It seems like the guy who bet 10 would be better off than the guy who bet 100 if the winnings were split 50-50. Maybe in this case you should have predetermined wagers like 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500?

Again I could be totally confusing myself, but maybe a simpler explanation on how you plan to divide the pot would be nice. pinch.gif

Oh and...

kind of sounds like you're saying, "When you bet on a player, you get a percentage of all bets placed on that player if he wins."

Example to help those in need of help of explaining:

Person A bets on Player 1 - 10 Minerals
Person B bets on Player 1 - 10 Minerals
Person C bets on Player 1 - 10 Minerals
Person D bets on Player 2 - 10 Minerals
Person E bets on Player 2 - 20 Minerals

Player 1 wins. So the winners are A, B, C.

The total amount of minerals put in is 60. 60 Divided by 3 is 20, thus, each person gets 20 minerals.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DevliN on 2005-03-07 at 20:49:15
Yeah, but my point was what if:
Person A bets on Player 1 - 50 Minerals
Person B bets on Player 1 - 10 Minerals
Person C bets on Player 1 - 10 Minerals
Person D bets on Player 2 - 10 Minerals
Person E bets on Player 2 - 10 Minerals

And when Player 1 wins, A, B, and C win the 90 mineral pot. 90 split three ways is 30, and therefore Person A loses 20 minerals even though he won.

How about the percentage they win is directly based off of the percentage they put in? there, problem solved wink.gif

Updated Bets.

Devlin:
Let me make things easier.

Person A bets on Player 1 - 50 Minerals
Person B bets on Player 1 - 30 Minerals
Person C bets on Player 1 - 20 Minerals
Person D bets on Player 2 - 50 Minerals
Person E bets on Player 2 - 50 Minerals

Player 1 won the tournament and that means that A, B and C will get their share of the jackpot.

Total Bets on Player 1: 100
Total Bets: 200

Player A has 50% of Bets of Player 1.
Player B has 30% of Bets of Player 1.
Player C has 20% of Bets of Player 1.

Player A will get 50% of the jeckpot, B will get 30% and C will get 20%. D and E will get nothing.

Nope. They'd only win back the same amount of money that they bet.
