[Betting On Wars] Betting on Top 5 Fighters
av khan
Hello Peeps,
If you haven't already read Rules of Betting please read them before betting every time because there is a large possibility something might have been changed until you see that the currency limit on betting has been removed (after that I will update through article if any rule is changed) and be sure to check my newspaper every 12 hours or so (if possible), bookmark it or something. The new betting campaign might have been updated.
Through the last two days betting on wars has been going on with fair response for a newly started project. But the problem I have seen is that 9 out of 10 campaigns are pretty much predictable and people just bet on 1 side, in short, it does not have the inherent fun of betting. So I came up with a different idea.
Instead of betting on who will win the campaign.
The betting would be on which side's top 5 will have a higher damage on the battle.
Let me explain it to you. I will also explain the new rules as they are to be changed with this change in betting.
Its quite simple actually
You can bet on any battle except the ongoing and those which have passed.
What you will bet is that which of the two sides in the battle (write its number) will have higher damage in top 5 fighter's damage. All those who bet on correct sides for any of the battles WIN. Choose wrong, you lose.
For example a war between Croatia and Serbia round 2 is going on. You will have to bet on battle 3 onwards. You will write 'I bet 100 USD (or any currency) on Croatia on battle 3. If the Croatians get higher top 5 damage than Serbia in that battle. You win. Another guy who bets on battle 4 on Serbia. And Serbia's top 5 do higher damage than Croatia. He wins as well. As such both will win and the pool will be shared between them.
I hope this clears up any confusion. You can ask me questions through pm and in comments will respond in less than half hour most probably for the next few hours.
With this, the rule that betting will stop after one side win 4 battles and other doesn't win even 1 has been REMOVED. As it doesn't matter who wins or loses as far as this betting is concerned.
Today's Test Bet will be on this war
Aregntina vs Spain
Final odds were
5:0
Argentina
😒pain The profits have been distributed.
Odds on previous campaign were
1:1
Polan
😛Canada
The odds here just the statement of bets placed.
Those who bet on previous battles, please don't worry your bets will remain in place and if your bet wins you will get equal share as every other winner. The betting pool will remain same.
REMEMBER! 1. Today's betting is limited (soon it will be unlimited) to 200 currency of any country.
2. To take part in betting, you must send me money, write it in comments with your vote number, add me as friend AND shout the article as well.
In comments please give your comments on the idea as well.
You can all check the battles with their Top 5 fighter's damage details here.

Vote + S! Sounds like a very interesting idea.
Nice idea.
So the "Top 5 damage" equals the sum of the damage done by each of the top 5 fighters?
@Mike Ontry
Yes.
Battle 4 I bet 200USD for Canada
its boring. : /
@Fighter100
What is it that you don't like in this one?
instead why not just keep same rule? just make a rule that you have to place a bet before the battle starts.
@Fighter100
I didn't understand. Do you mean, the betting should be on campaigns instead of top fighters?
The answer to that is that mostly battles are too predictable. Whats the point of even betting on a war where the winner doesn't get some solid profits because everyone bets on same war?
If its something else I didn't understand it.
I'd bet but it's just too obvious(to me) that Poland is not even trying.
I suppose I should change the campaign and I can change the campaign as only single battle matters in this system and pool could remain the same. Lemme search for a suitable battle : P
The campaign has been changed. The pool will remain same. Those bets which were placed on previous campaign will remain there and will lose and win according to that battle.
I bet 200 usd on Argentina on battle 3.
like the idea , makes it more risky .
Chose battles that r not so preditable.. Then. I am sure u can find plenty of them. Than ask ppl to place bet before camphign starts.
Although I don't know know if it's possible to find out upcoming campaigns.
The overall idea of placing bet on a nation is more interesting than placing bet on certain fighters.
no its not possible fighter100 : P
yes,thats true, thats why I chose the damage of 5 fighters instead of just the battle hero but oh well lets wait for others' opinion, as of now.
i will think of some ideas and throw them your way : ) I like the effort you are making to make things interesting and will definitely give you all support! o7
Thanks Ashwamedh o7
I like it. And as av khan demonstrated he can change the campaign when it goes stale.
You can see the current campaign is pretty close:

I was just getting ready to say you better hope Admin doesn't see this, I once ran a sports books and they hammered me for it and took all my earnings...
@fighter100
Please expect alot of changes in rule, as this is almost brand new concept, so its still in learning process, but once all the bases will be covered, then i am sure, it will be fine.
too late as usual 🙁
