Payouts! Blackstar vs nagayumi

[Goodspeed]

Well, shit. Veni isn't going to like this one...

This series was closer than expected, looking at the bets. The most expected result was 5-1 Blackstar, odds at x3.92. 5-2 was also somewhat expected with x3.95. However, the 5-3 was barely bet on! Out of the record breaking 24067 points bet on this match, only 1710 were bet on 5-3, making the odds high at x9.6.
And here's the catch: more than half of those were bet by a single person. Blackbob68, with a risky gamble of 1000 points on the 5-3, takes the biggest win in AoE3 bets history. He takes home a whopping 8600 points, and takes first place out of nowhere! He breaks 12k points, which is also unheard of in AoE3 bets history. Grats to him! Poor Veni worked hard for his first place, and it's abruptly taken away from him. Unlucky!
Second biggest win of 1050 points goes to aligator92 and third is me, winning 560 points.

As for losers, there are some big ones this time around. Richard, who has been doing quite well from the start, put 1000 on 5-1 and 5-2 but missed the 5-3. He loses 1884 points. Ouch.
And as if first place being taken away from him wasn't enough, our previous leader Veni also loses 1500.

2. Blackstar_OP vs nagayumi
Nagayumi winning-50-L
naga win-5x2-40-L
naga win-5x3-40-L
naga win 5x4-40-L


Blackstar winning-100-W-ODDs?

BS win-5x1-20-L
BS win-5x2-40-L

BS win 5x3-40-W 40 X 9,6= 384

BS win 5x4-30-L

All loses-260
All wins-384+the Blackstar winning that i dont know the odds.

So mine payout are wrong, i won at least 124.....it not counting the Blackstar winning coz i dont know the odds.

Not that matters with the 1st place winning that much but wtv.

BSOP winning odds were x1.1

You bet a total of 400 points and your payout was 494.
Your previous amount of points was 1980. 1980-400+100*1.1+40*9.6 = 2074, amounting to a 94 point win. Where you went wrong in your calculation is that you didn't subtract your winning bets from the payout. Those points weren't lost but they were still given to the bank, so to speak. You are getting 384 points back but this is only a 344 point profit since you bet 40.

Same with the BSOP winning. Your payout is 100*1.1=110 points but you only profited 10.

Yeah you were in 6th place before, I guess it''s not totally out of nowhere but it''s not like you were a major contender for 1st before this ')

[deleted_user0]

Why did no one give me 1000... I also bet on 5-3. It was obv result

[blackbob68]

@Goodspeed: Yes, that is true ') I was a bit surprised myself to win that many points :O
@Umeu: Thats what I thought, when I saw that noone really bet on it ')
