So, now that many players use a server that uses a money system (LWs), we thought it would be fun idea to open the opportunity to bet on the players who you think are going to win/lose.
How to betAnyone can make any bet, with any stakes. It is other players' choice whether they want to take the bet.
Here are some examples:
[VU]Charley opens up a topic titled: 'Bet on [VU]Veteran'.
Topic body: I would like to bet $15,000 that [VU]Veteran will make it at least to the third stage.
<screenshot included proving that I have $15,000 in LW>
[VU]Stormeus replies: I will take that bet.
<screenshot included proving that [VU]Stormeus has $15,000 in LW>
[VU]Veteran gets knocked out in the first round, so [VU]Charley gives [VU]Stormeus $15,000
[VU]Charley opens a topic titled: 'Bet on [VU]Veteran'.
Topic body: I will give 5:1 odds on [VU]Stormeus making it to the quarter-finals. This means that if you bet $10,000, and [VU]Stormeus gets to the quarter-finals, I will pay you $50,000. If he doesn't, though, you have to pay me $10,000. Players may place a maximum bet of $15,000, and I will not accept betting offers after a total of $50,000 worth of bets are placed.
<screenshot proving that [VU]Charley has a shitload of money, and so can be trusted>
[VU]aXXo replies: I will bet $10,000
<screenshot to prove [VU]aXXo has the money>
[VU]Charley replies: I accept your bet.
[VU]Knucis replies: I will bet $15,000
[VU]Charley replies: I cannot accept your bet until you prove that you have $15,000
[VU]Knucis replies: FU nab
[VU]Stormeus succeeds in reaching the quarter-finals, and [VU]Charley pays [VU]aXXo $50,000. [VU]Knucis gets nothing... NOTHING.
[VU]Charley opens a topic titled: 'Bet on [VU]Thijn's k/d ratio'
Topic body: I would like to bet that [VU]Thijn will have a 3.5 k/d ratio by the end of the tournament. I am seeking 1:5 odds on a bet of $10,000.
<screenshot proving [VU]Charley has $10,000>
[VU]Stormeus replies: Okay, I'll give you 1:5 odds, because it's more likely that Jesus will come again next week than Thijn gets a 3.5 k/d ratio in this tournament. So If you win, I'll pay you $50,000, but if I win, you pay me $10,000.
<screenshot proving [VU]Stormeus has $50,000>
[VU]Charley replies: Yes, you're right, Thijn will never get a 3.5 k/d ratio, but still, I will accept your offer.
[VU]Thijn somehow gets a 3.6 k/d ratio. [VU]Stormeus gives [VU]Charley $50,000 and then spends the next year alone, staring at a wall, questioning himself and the world.
Key points- You can bet anything, but post proof that you actually possess what you're betting, otherwise no one will accept your bet.
- This is a
trust based system. We have no power over the LW money system, this betting is unofficial. Please respect each other and don't try and swindle people.
- Try and be inventive; use your imagination. The three example bets above are quite simple, but you could make them much more elaborate, funny, and interesting.
