Place your bets for the round of 16
Posted: 23 Mar 2015, 00:11
[font color="e63d19"]Change to the rules: You can now bet a maximum of 750 points per result![/font]
Matches to bet on for the ro16:
I've chosen 5 matches to bet on this round based on what I think will be close and/or exciting. You cannot bet on any other matches!
1. [strike]_H2O vs snowww[/strike] 3-0
2. [strike]SoldieR vs Aizamk[/strike] 3-1
3. [strike]Veni_Vidi_Vici_W vs spadel[/strike] 3-1
4. [strike]Garja vs kiljardi[/strike]
5. [strike]Blackstar_OP vs Fard[/strike]
Prize
To make it interesting I'll throw in 100$ for the gambler who has the most points after the finals of this tournament.
How it works:
Everyone starts with 1000 points. You can bet all of your points each round, but of course considering how many games are coming up it would be wise to save some ')
[font color="e63d19"]If you're new to this, you don't have to sign up anywhere. You can just place your bet in this thread and it will be counted. Make sure you read the rules below before betting.[/font]
The ro16 is a best of 5, so there are 8 possible results you can bet on:
Player a winning
Player b winning
Player a winning 3-0
Player b winning 3-0
Player a winning 3-1
Player b winning 3-1
Player a winning 3-2
Player b winning 3-2
The system works in such a way that betting on things that the rest of the people haven't bet on gets you a higher rate of payout if that result should happen, but of course disagreeing with other betters generally means you are betting on an unlikely result. This way it should even out, and of course the best way to win is to bet according to how you think the games will go, though strategically throwing some points on a result that is not too unlikely but people haven't been betting on can be quite rewarding.
Betting on a player winning gets you less bang for your buck as well because it is lower risk. For max profits bet on the specific results.
I will make new threads for the payouts of each individual match.
Rules
- You can't bet more than 750 points on a single result (so no more than 750 on player A winning or on player A x-0 etc).
- You can't bet on your own matches except on you winning and you winning x-0
- You may donate points to other betters, but only if they have already lost everything.
- You can edit your bets, but not after the matches of course. Any bets edited after the match has started will not be counted.

Place your bets and best of luck, my fellow gamblers![/font]
(And don't wait too long because who knows, these guys might play before the weekend)
[font size="5"]Round of 32 recap[/font]
(seperate threads have been made for the payouts)
The round of 32 had some great matches (mostly the Garja vs Boneng one which was great despite the anticlimactic ending) and some great wins. Looking at the standings, fard made a big jump all the way to second place and broke 5000 points. Grats to him, but Somppukunkku still hasn't lost a single point and is yet to be dethroned.
Meanwhile inflation (due to how the system works) is kicking in and we now have far more points in the system than we started with. This is also because bets on Boneng winning and Boneng 3-2 were refunded. This means that many betters have broken 2000 points, giving them a more comfortable position to bet more points. I expect a lot of points bet this round of 16, and some very big wins!
Somppu, you're up. Jono, bramboy and H2O need some charity!
Records after the ro32:
Biggest profit in a single match: Somppukunkku (Veni vs Mitoe) - 4050 points
Most unexpected result: Somppukunkku vs Tibia 3-2 - odds x17.8
Most points bet on a single match: Veni vs Mitoe - 11718 points
Most points bet total: Veni_Vidi_Vici_W - 2691 points
