Place your bets for the round of 64
Posted: 09 Mar 2015, 08:48
So let's get this thing on the road. Spread the word!
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 ')
The ro64 is a best of 3, so there are 6 possible results you can bet on:
Player a winning
Player b winning
Player a winning 2-0
Player b winning 2-0
Player a winning 2-1
Player b winning 2-1
For an example, refer to my bet below.
Basically 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, but it can always be a good idea to bet on a player winning if you want easy (easier) money ')
You don't need to sign up for anything (except this forum), just throw your bets right in this thread and any bet posted before the match is played will be counted unless it breaks any of the rules below.
I will make new threads for the payouts of each individual match.
Rules
- You can't bet more than 500 points on a single result (so no more than 500 on player A winning or on player A 2-0 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.
Matches to bet on:
I've chosen 3 matches to bet on this round based on what I think will be close or at least exciting:
1. [strike]Veni_Vidi_Vici_W vs Mitoe[/strike] 2-0
2. [strike]banyboy vs kiljardi[/strike] 0-2
3. [strike]ramex12 vs Stanley_Winston[/strike] 2-0
Place your bets and best of luck, my fellow gamblers!
