Snakes & Foxes: Mortal Kombat [Concluded]

[Beskar]

Looks like my gamble failed.

I will change to minimum to SubZero, I like him better as a character anyway.

[Gekkamir]

I'm confident that my teammate will win. 100 on Reptile

[Choxorn]

Unlike you guys, I'm not going to make a sissy bet. 150 mana on Sub-Zero.

[Splitpersonality]

Bet minimum amount on Sub-zero

I really like that text color :o

[Beskar]

Me too. I am going to steal it.

[Captain Blackadder]

Reptile surrender now and I will make you death quick and painless otherwise prepare to be shattered.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

*Hisssssssssss* Try me Popssssssicleman.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Unlike you guys, I'm not going to make a sissy bet. 150 mana on Sub-Zero.

I follow in the footsteps of my glorious leader.

unbet, bet: 200 mana on Sub-Zero

There! BEAT THAT!!!


Go! Go! Go Sub-Zero!!!!

[CCRunner]

I will bet 50 mana on Reptile. The odds are just to good to pass up...

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

what ARE the odds at this point?

[CCRunner]

A lot to not a lot

[Gekkamir]

Hmm... what makes you say that?

[CCRunner]

Just did a quick count, and I think it's somewhere around 200 on reptile to 650 on sub-zero. Sprig, don't go based off of that because I took about fifteen seconds to do it and could have easily missed something. So a lot to a little would be accurate

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I believe by my count it is 350 for me, to 750 for Subzero.


Nevermind, go by what sprig said.

[Sprig]

GM Comment The odd are curently are: 1 : 2.14

This means for every mana bet you will get back:
Subzero 1.46
Reptile 3.14

[Beskar]

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Mortal Kombat

Evening 0

It was the dead of the night, Shao Kahn as in a foul mood. He had sent a messenger to see if they could find out more about the gods that were trying to ruin his tournament. He couldn’t be bothered waiting up so went to bed and missed the moment when both Reptile and Subzero were taken away into isolation to prepare for the morning fight. Everybody had gathered and wished them luck. It was a load of bull of course, they were just really excited about seeing a fight and hopefully some blood in the morning.

=================================================

Betting:

Bets on Subzero: 700 Mana
Bets on Reptile: 400 Mana

There had been plenty of betting as well since interest in this first match was high.

Current Odds: 1.75-1

=================================================

GM Comment:
Contestants may continue to place bets on the upcoming fight.
Both SubZero and Reptile are in isolation. They may not purchase items or receive any gifts of mana.
Now is the time for the morning combatants to send in orders if they have not done so.

Please note that I have made a few tweaks to the rules. This includes increasing the amount of mana you receive each morning. Also making sure there will be some spoils after the battle and adjusting the price of some items.

[Centurion1]

so when is the battle going to be posted? im so excited

[Beskar]

Sprig, your ratio is wrong...

It is not 2.75:1.

It is 1.75:1


Aka, if you bet one mana on reptile, you would get 1.75 mana back as winnings. (ontop of your original bet).

aka, if you bet one mana on subzero, you would get 0.57 mana back as winnings. (ontop of your original bet).

[Choxorn]

400 x 2.75 = 700. Yes, it is 2.75:1.

[Yaropolk]

You have a bright future ahead of you as a tax accountant.

[Beskar]

400 x 2.75 = 700. Yes, it is 2.75:1.

...

Who are you? AsktheStupidGuy?

Anyway for the correct answer of your sum.

400 x 2.75 = 1100.

[johnhughthom]

...

Who are you? AsktheStupidGuy?

That's mean. Who are you, AsktheRudeGuy?

[Beskar]

That's mean. Who are you, AsktheRudeGuy?

How is it rude? He jumped in here out of no where and said I was wrong when I wasn't?

Anyway, I don't have Pizza's avatar, so it doesn't work.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There are still politer ways of going about it. That's how you get this spiffy little Senior Member thingy under your name.

Anywho, I just think it fits the culture/rules of the forum if you'd be kind enough to reword it.

GM Comment:

Yes, the odds were out. Don't ask me why but the betting places here in NZ always include your original bet in the odds. so I added an extra 1 to the odds to signify the original bet. It is a way of making it look like you win more.

For example here in NZ they would show the odds for this match for Reptile at $2.75 an Subzero at $1.57.

Also an insult in character is acceptable, but any out of character are not. Choxorn was clever enough to take into account the extra 1 and naturally subtracted it when completing the equation.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Look, just because I have the same avatar as Askthepizzaguy, that doesn't mean you can talk to me like that. I know you and he tend to get a bit saucy at times, but I demand respect! I am the leader of Raiden's Raiders who have psychological problems and eat too much pizza! I am the thunder god! I....


Wait, which player am I again?

[Beskar]

Over here, it worked out as "For: Against" in the odds.

So for every candidate, there is a different number.

In the case here it would be:

Subzero - 1.85:1
Reptile - 1:1.75

This means:
For every 1.85 you bet, you get 1 mana reward.
For every 1 you bet, you get 1.75 reward.

Though when it is two like this, they usually put one number for sub and other for Reptile, as the minimum number has to be one, it would be "1.75:1"

Some bookies don't use decimal points, so they would put it as 7:4

As for my ATSG comment, I thought he was a troll and for whatever reason, chose this thread to attempt to troll in, as it was the first time I have seen him. The comment was in reference to ATPG's avatar, as when I first read the post, I thought it was ATPG.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Everyone makes misnakes.
