Place your bets!

Mortals and jesus3,

The Autumn tournament group stages are over and with that, betting begins. Long have we all waited for another opportunity to prove we know the AoE3 competitive scene better than everyone else. Yet clouds of uncertainty block our otherwise clear view of things. Will this be one of those tournaments where upsets are an everyday occurrence? Certainly there is potential for this, as the new patch version was released close to the start of the event and some of the changes were... how shall I put this... crazy. Seriously who came up with this steaming pile of crap?

Practice will matter more than ever. Established names will be faced with play styles they haven't seen before. And due to the prevalence of solid water maps in the pool as well as 70w fishing boats, almost everyone will have to face the fact that water is now much more of a possibility than we are used to. Not everyone will be comfortable with this, and some may be surprisingly comfortable with it. Do we throw our points on players who may not be the most mechanically sound, but are known to find new ways to play? Or is our establishment, if you will, unfazed by the changes?

Time will tell. Perhaps success will come to betters who do their homework. Those who keep an eye on players' match history, perhaps even ask the players how confident they are going into a match. Indeed, there are many ways to get ahead in betting. Or, just maybe, success will come to those who get lucky and win thousands of points by betting on a result everyone else overlooked. If history is any indication, the latter will happen more than once.

With the new patch and the stacked tournament, this betting event will undoubtedly be one of the best we've seen. Fireworks are inevitable. Precious points will be lost. Tears will be shed. Family members and neighbours alike will lose sleep over the random cries of "Noooooo!" or "Yaaasss!" coming from our betters' places of operation. For there can be only one. Only one who knows better than everyone else, only one who takes home the $100. Will it be you? Statistically, no, unless your name is zoom. But maybe yes.

Behold below the first 5 betting matches. Scheduling info will appear on your personal sheets when available.
iamturk vs MacacoAlbino
bwinner vs purple_squid
deadrising78 vs QueenOfdestiny

What if Kaiser manipulated the match? He could also steal queens keyboard in case things are not going as he likes them.

Then you lose your points. At least if he does it without getting caught.

Good choice : Kaiser does better when he practises with me than me when I practise with him, so I am obviously a better coach.

Right away, unless I'm not around to run the end match scripts. In that case you are free to calculate your winnings yourself and bet with your won points even if you technically don't have the points yet (you'll end up with negative balance but it will be restored).

Lol, no way I'm gonna bet this queens match. All it requires to win is kaiser sitting next to her saying what to do.

I think it's a bait to make other people aswell bet against queen. Last minute he'll change and coach queen. In a bad situation even take the mouse :mrgreen:
