was thinking it might be fun/interesting to start a legit high limit sports book. might be even more fun once the "chrome" currency is implemented. anyway, to kick things off, betting is now open on the exciting final SCL V match of the season, the grudge match between Goat and Grimm/Juan. taking bets up to 100k, odds starting with goat favored at 2:1. if one side doesnt show thats still a bet, but if both dont show it's a no-bet. i'll edit this if anyone other than me thinks this is a good idea and actually bets. also taking a 2:1 side bet on one or the other side not showing up, and 5:1 on both not showing up.

YES!

Oh my gosh, think of the possibilities for throwing matches, backstabbing, arena fixing, and how much influence the DR Mafia can have!

Love this idea but I want to hear some trash talk from Goat and Juan. Neither are likely to show

100k max for now, but i'll take that. just to be clear, if other people bet we'll go to a paramutual thing which will change the odds based on the betting, just like a real sports book. for one bet with goat favored at 2:1 i'll take it.

Heh!, can even do COE's like horserace betting!

However - No shows should be a money back thing.

People should pay for a match, not a default.

yes, coe individual weeks and overall, combat league, etc. scl too many no shows, would think money back only if both no show, so basically just follow how the pts are awarded by the system already... (i mean the 3=win 1 or 0=loss etc pts, not demo pts.)

and what is grimm saying? is that the non-sequitur it seems or did i miss something?

also i'm hoping this will make these things more visible, draw more spectators, and encourage people to show up more...

Add Odds bonuses or side bets if there are deaths involved.

Yer doin it wrong

Try this:

I will not respect resigns, I am out for blood.  I will not surrender.  Goat will pay for calling me a cheater/exploiter.  I guarantee I will show up.  Let's see if Goat's game is as good as his talk.

oh come on. too predictable, just couldn't resist that, huh? btw, can't bet on a match you're in, just on the off chance you're serious, which i'm sure you're not.

does this mean you're not gonna show?

did you make that rule before i placed the bet? I think not. Therefore it is an EXPLOIT which according to my opponent is not cheating.

I claim my 200k. Now pony up!
