Cell Gambling

[Max Dirks]

Welcome to Piston's Pleasure Palace where you'll probably bust.

Main Game

The main game is the spread. Drax Piston has gone through and established spreads based on our participant's average scores (thanks to Zook for compiling those numbers), and your job is to bet where the player will score over, under, or within the spread. Payout on this is a bold 2x. Here are those spreads:

Name (Spread)

Reine (65-71)
Tourneymant (39-42)
Breaker (63-65)
Roht Mirage (55-60)
blackshadow (40-42)
Warpath (67-68)
hoytti (39-42)
Dead & Walking (39-42)

Mage Hunter (60-62)
Amber Eyes (50-52)
Gold (39-42)
Resolve (75-80)
Herald of the Tempest (60-65)
Aurelianus Drak'shal (69-72)
Cicilix (50)

Hysteria (55-60)
Homunculus (55-59)
Enigmatic Immortal (60-63)
Solar Haven (50)
grim137 (50-54)
BlueGhostOfTheSeaside (35-40)
Prophet (39-42)
The Hound (65-67)

Other Games

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!

First DQ

Place a bet and guess the first player to be DQed. If you're correct, you earn a solid 2x payout.

First Death

Place a bet and guess the first character to die (non-DQ). If you're correct, you earn a magnificient 2x 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.

Tournament Winner

Prior to the start of the tournament (that's in 3 days folks), place a bet on who you think will win the tournament and receive a massive 5x payout.

How to play

To place a bet, reply to this thread with the type of bet and the amount. GP will be removed between rounds. Those with insufficient funds will be DQed from gambling, so make sure you only bet what you have. Since GP is calculated after each round, be sure you don't drop below sufficient funds during the round (in a bazaar transaction, for example).

If you have any questions, please ask. Otherwise, gamble away my friends.

[Krausus]

Thanks go the vote of confidence people. I intend to maintain my replies. So aure, i will laugh if im not the first DQ. If i am. Then im out of 100 GP that i don't have.


Winner-Jensen Ambrose, AKA Enigmatic Immortal.

50 gold.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

*shrugs* I don't really care one way or the other; just making some bets to join in the fun.

But I like that you don't mention Babe placed a higher bet than me, before I did. Or Breaker too, for that matter.

Don't let it get you down - just use it as a motivator to do them out of their hard-earned cash. :P

[Max Dirks]

I can't gamble, but if I could, my bet for first DQ would be on Mage Hunter, grim137 or one of hoytti's alts. Hoytti got boned by the random placements, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see him focus on one character over the other.

[Rayse Valentino]

[Max Dirks]

Most of those are adjusted below the average.

I hope you lose lots of money ;)

[Rayse Valentino]

This gambling establishment is a fraud, it omitted that detail. I'll see you in court, sir. (I stand by my bets)

Question: Is the bet invalid if the participant gets DQ'd without a score?

[Max Dirks]

Yep! Choose wisely my friends.

[Breaker]

I'm adding some more bets because I'm addicted to GP gambling. I will edit these into my original post for your convenience.

[Marduk the Black]

I can't gamble, but if I could, my bet for first DQ would be on Mage Hunter, grim137 or one of hoytti's alts. Hoytti got boned by the random placements, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see him focus on one character over the other.

Last time I couldn't post because Family moved in during the tournament and I lost access to my bedroom. That's not happening this time Dirks.

[Prophet]

PAY UP. Thanks Sei, you're the best. EVER.

[Breaker]

Maybe I should run a "hacking piston's system" thread next round...

[Musashi]

I can't see a stop posting thing here, so I'm going to lay down some coin I haven't yet come to appreciate the value of.

So. For round 2. I'm pretty convinced it's round 2

Aurelianus Drak'Shal, Highest score, 100GP
Aurelianus Drak'Shal, first death , 20GP
Yeh, covering my options here.

[Max Dirks]

Mushasi loses 120 GP (round bets)

Not a good round for anyone. I'll have the spreads up shortly for the finals. Maybe you can make some money back.

Keep in mind, these scores all came from the same judge.

[Mordelain]

300 gold on Abomination 1st.

[Max Dirks]

That'll only be a 3x payout as the winner of the round rather than of the tournament, Duffy.

[Mordelain]

I understand that, if I'd known he was on fire I'd have bet from the start :)

[Breaker]

They... they cut down my champion?

That does it. Third round is no-holds-barred bloody action. 350 on Breaker to win the round.
100 on the Hound - first death
100 on Hysteria - spread bet "within"

[Roht Mirage]

Holy shiznit. I wish I had more gold to bet at the time.

I'm buying a round at the after party with my "massive" payout.
