    Smile Magus Cup Gambling

    Drax Piston took a round off to prepare, but gambling is now officially back. Here's the games and the payouts:

    Pick the Winner

    Standard game. Pick the winner, double your bet. That's a 2x payout.

    Specific Score

    Pay 25 GP, guess a player's score. If you're on the money you receive 200 GP. That's an 8x payout!

    Highest Score of the Round

    Place a bet and guess the player you think will have the highest score of the round. If you're right, you earn a whopping 3x payout.

    You can place your bets now. Remember, if you don't have the funds, you'll be disqualified and publicly humiliated.

    Matchups can be found here:

    I have a few questions. First, how long can we bet until? Can we actually wait to see most of how the match goes before placing a bet? Second, what if a player doesn't show up? If we bet on the other person, do we win still in that case? Finally, I guess we aren't allowed to bet on ourselves (me vs. myself)?

    Is a win considered getting a higher score or continuing on to the next round?

    Erikar, both of those are the same I believe. Getting to the next round means you got the higher score judged by Dirks.

    I can actually answer all these questions.

    Yes sire you can, however, the longer you wait, the smaller your pay off gets if you;re betting on both individual rounds and overall winner.

    Second, what if a player doesn't show up? If we bet on the other person, do we win still in that case?
    If the person wins by his opponent being a no-sow, its still a win for that player, so you still get your money, so long as you didn't bet for a specific score.

    Finally, I guess we aren't allowed to bet on ourselves (me vs. myself)?

    Yes you can, actually! People do it all the time!

    Is a win considered getting a higher score or continuing on to the next round?
    A win is getting the higher score, not gaining your first loss and continuing in the Redemption Bracket. Higher score is the winner.

    It'll probably be close, but that's what makes a wager fun! 200 Gold on myself over Philomel.
