Place your bets for the round of 8
Posted: 29 Mar 2015, 22:23
Matches to bet on for the ro8
You can bet on every match now, since there are only 4. They are:
1. [strike]_H2O vs SoldieR[/strike] 4-1
2. [strike]Veni_Vidi_Vici_W vs kiljardi[/strike] 4-2
3. [strike]kynesie vs Blackstar_OP[/strike] 0-4
4. [strike]nagayumi vs diarouga[/strike] 4-0
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 ')

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 ro8 is a best of 7, so there are 10 possible results you can bet on:
Player a winning
Player b winning
Player a winning 4-0
Player b winning 4-0
Player a winning 4-1
Player b winning 4-1
Player a winning 4-2
Player b winning 4-2
Player a winning 4-3
Player b winning 4-3
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.

[font size="5"]Round of 16 recap[/font]
(seperate threads have been made for the payouts)
The round of 16 was somewhat of a struggle for our 2 leaders, Somppukunkku and fard. Somppu lost 630 points and fard 600. And this is not something they could afford, because Veni, who won almost 2000 points throughout the round of 16, is looking sharp. His predictions are solid and his bets are safe, meaning it is likely that he'll keep winning. Somppu has his work cut out for him keeping 1st place, I'm curious to see how this power struggle will end. Odds are the ro8 will be decisive in this.
Meanwhile Richard is sitting in 4th place, picking up some decent wins throughout the tournament. This is one to look out for too. Amhaye (Stanley_Winston) is also looking good, he came very close to a big win this round and could've been in first place had things gone slightly differently. But then again, that's the name of the game.
Edeholland lost his last 113 points and needs your charity! The same goes for DivineFire, who went with risky bets on snowww but had to say goodbye to his 1000 points after the very first match he bet on.
Records after the ro16:
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 - 4281 points
