Well. It all depends on how many nudges and how much you are getting from the /house rake. If you aren't making much from either, than you might lose some TC. But once the bets start getting big and you start getting more nudges, you usually make up for the lost TC from betting. I know the other day I had a server that I was -50k in bets, but still made about 90k TC from the server.

You just have to stick with the server and not abandon it when you are not making profits.

I do it all the time. It depends on how confident you are in beating the other person. It isnt always smart. As a host, I would think watching and staying back, betting would be smarter. If you know you can win, I would self bet.

Just wanted to throw my opinion in here!
Yes i do. My strategy is, Bet high ONLY when i KNOW i can win. I DO NOT always do that, and i end up losing a bet when i dont. If its me vs some person ive never seen before, and low belt (but not alt), i bet 20k. People arent to confident in the other guy, but they will bet atleast 100-2k each for the small chance of winning 20k. If the bets on him are under 2k total, most host cancel the bets.

and shush, i always win. pshh

I find donating to be extremely dumb. It works for some, but i do not want to risk losing the tc i donated and having to get tc AND pay them back. I usually do not go under 5k for that reason.
Scorpion I did include that before the first spoiler. Thanks for the info though. And the tc you get from betting when your hosting is still the same as when you arent hosting. The more the counter is on the opponent, the more you will get to your bet. But remember, you can only get up to x5 your bet. So if you bet 1k and there is like 10k on the enemy, you can only make up to 5k.

That is why some hosts cancelbets in instances like that, because the other 5k will be sunk and no one will get that tc.

If you and ONLY you bets, then you win your 5k back. Someone has to counter your bet for you to make profit

Yes sometimes that is a factor that servers struggle with, but sometimes you have to take the initiative and bet on them, even if you know they will lose. (Unless its something like a decap or dm, then its okay not to bet on them and just cancel the bets.)

A lot of the times, if you dont think anyone will bet on them, and someone bets big on the other player, its best to bet on the player you think will lose on the first couple of frames, because then people will see that you have faith in that player and you think they will win, so then they will bet on that player too. This will help even out the bets.

Thanks for the tips. Considering I usually host tourneys, this would be a good way for me to learn more! ^_^ I will also be able give more now.

There are three ways to gain tc while hosting.
First, this way requires no effort at all. When you set /house <your name> You will automatically receive 10% of all lost bets. So if the person that loses has 10k bet on them, you will receive 1k in bet rakes.
Second, are the nudges. When someone pays you for a nudge, they will transfer the tc to your account via the shop, they should know how to do this, but you might need to tell them. Be sure to have the forums up on your transaction history so you can see when someones sends you nudge money, can be found here. TRANSACTION HISTORY.
Third, this would be betting. This one has a chance of you losing tc, but why host a betting server if you aren't willing to bet yourself! There isn't much fun without risks.

For the nudges, you should try explaining when to have 500tc-1000tc nudges. I would find an easy balance at 750tc in my opinion, but if it's not the right price, people tend to not buy them.

I hope my master idea help out. I don't read text that well, so...
Chickster: I literally don't know why I did it.
