The new betting system
sup, if you haven't noticed, you can now bet on fights in progress vs other players.
Its pretty fun, if you have cash to throw around, me and siku had fun with it, til we bet a combined 75k and then some other guy bet 1tc on the other fighter and won all of it. :|
it obviously needs some improvements, like if someone leaves a fight after a bet is cast, the bet is lost, if only you bet on a player, then you either lose all your bet or just get it back, etc.
but its pretty interesting.

You can keep betting the long odds and your tc will continue to double. Everyone will have more tc, inflation will increase, economy goes down, etc.
I don't mean recieving 100k, I mean receiving 50k if you bet 50k. thus, you would end up with 100k. What are the odds of a masterbelt fighting a whitebelt?
Besides, belt doesn't matter. Plus, it could be anymod. Let's say it's judo, and someone continues to win using a clap? If you bet on the one person and he keeps winning, you make tc. The odds of him winning again, are still 50/50 amirite?
Isn't the point of betting for fun and merriment? Like dog-fighting, or watching to kids beat each other up, and wager on who wins?

I do still believe the chances of winning would be 50/50 no matter what belt they are.
