Topic: Lucius Tournament Betting
PLEASE KEEP REPLIES IN THIS THREAD AS BETS ONLY
As the title suggests, I was sad the other betting scheme had to be cancelled, so I'm setting up a simpler version that should be easier to manage. I will not charge any commission for this, and rules have been tweaked so I cannot make any NIC regardless of the outcome. If you see a clear problem with the rules, mail me in-game, and I'll amend rules if necessary.
Rules:
You only bet on the winner
To submit a bet you must do the following from the same character: (1) send NIC amount to my alt "Quintus Marcellus", (2) Post your bet in a reply to this thread, e.g. "CorporationX 20m"
If the bet in terms of NIC sent and stated differs, your bet is disqualified (if it's by mistake, contact me and I'll reply to this thread making a clarification, don't edit your post as this will disqualify you)
Minimum bet is 1m, and bets must be made in increments of 1m (if a non-acceptable bid is submitted, e.g. 4.9m, then this is rounded down to 4m, and rest 0.9m goes to betting pool)
Bets must be submitted before the start of the tournament (which is 17:00, server time, Saturday the 3rd of December)
You are allowed to make several bets, e.g. 20m that X wins, and 20m that Y wins
Editing your post disqualifies your bet, and the NIC submitted is foregone and remains in betting pool
Bets are non-refundable
Amongst the people who bet on the correct winner, the NIC pool is divided in proportion to bets
In the unlikely case that no one has put any bet on the correct winning team, everyone gets their bets returned
I hope I will be online during the final match, but worst case the winnings will be distributed a few hours afterwards.
To give examples of the distribution of winnings:
Guy#1: 75m on X
Guy#2: 80m on Y
Guy#3: 24m on X
Guy#4: 1m on X
Guy#5: 2m on ZTotal bot pool: 182m
If X wins: Guy#1 gets 136.5m, Guy#3 gets 43.68m, Guy#4 gets 1.82m
If Y wins: Guy#2 gets 182m
If Z wins: Guy#5 gets 182m
So clearly, it can be worth putting 1m even on a low profile corp!
