New year's classic betting discussion

[edeholland]

I assume because today is tuesday and there are a lot of more people free to watch on sunday.

[Cometk]

But why is hazza vs sompu not being streamed live ?

There weren’t casters available to do it. The only volunteer was Kaiser but his stream operates at 540p, and in tandem with this game being played at not-the-best time, it’s better for us to push it back to Sunday when we can have a big long stream with the other Semis match.

Damn thats unfortunate

[Hazza54321]

They dont want me to stream fpv #esocmafia #diarougawasright #fuhrercometk

But why is hazza vs sompu not being streamed live ?

tbh, idk if the world is ready to witness that high level of gameplay yet, live.

@Goodspeed wait wut? diarouga vs kaiser will also be today?

No, he means Dia vs Kaiser may be streamed before Hazza vs Sompu is streamed. But because Hazza vs Sompu is played tonight, the betting closes tonight. This means that if you put invest points on Hazza vs Sompu, your points are stuck in limbo until Hazza vs Sompu is streamed and the result is public. If Kaiser vs Dia happens before that, you can't invest your points on that match.

man, that sux massively, and i dont think that's fair. it blatantly favors those who are already rich, as well. Not very goodspeed-ish.

@Goodspeed, isn't there a way around this?

The options as far as I can see are:
- Tournament staff makes sure this match is streamed before the other.
- Tournament staff finds a way to cast it tonight. My understanding is that there are volunteers now.
And if neither of those are possible:
- I do the payouts for the match before it's being streamed. That would spoil the result for betting participants.
- I freeze the points.
- I cancel the match.
- I allow people to bet all of their points twice (go in the negative).

Obviously the first 2 are preferable, and I think one of them should be doable so I don't think it'll be an issue.

[deleted_user0]

Ur mum

No, that's the answer to the question: What am I going to do tonight. Obviously, ur mum.

[n0el]

so, what's happening?

There's no problem any more since the results will be known before the diarouga game.
