I'll counter this by saying a computer should host the bet server, and not a human. This would probably increase player base because they — the people you say get on toribash for the sake of betting — know they can consistently open the game and join a bet server. This also fixes the retarded host problem, the hosts not seeing self bets because of a fast chat problem and probably some more problems that I can't remember right now.


You could use the rake money to host events more interesting and more worth a person's time than hosting a bet server.
