Bets

[larlek]

I'm not sure if this can be implemented but I remember when I used to play counter strike that you could bet on either team winning. I think that this would be quite an interesting system to add to the game.

I'm not saying that we should use the exact same system from counter strike since then we would have people betting all their money in a single round and coming out with far too much money. there would need to be alot tweaks in the formula to suit this game but I think that it could be done.

Not sure if this has been suggested before but it's just a thought.

Bet on my own team when there are 10 Byzantium's on = profit

If bets are only enabled when banner balance is off then yes. Then hopefully clans will be split up enough that they can't just rig it.
Oh, and set a max bet of 100 gold, or you can only bet as much money as you've earned on this map. Thats how I would do it.

with banner balance, no

Maybe only for Strategus and only if both sides have the same amount of tickets and similar gear.

Example: 1500vs1700 (only 200 difference should be fine), but 500 vs 1200 (700 difference is too much here).

Not sure if that is possible, but it doesnt make sense in crpg with banner balance.

I was thinking the same thing. Bet 100 a round. Get 200 if you bet correctly.

with banner balance, no

Yeah. Banner balance needs sorting out for this to work.

Bets would be too easily exploitable, also people might bet for the enemy team and sabotage their own team. There already is too much people not trying to help their team win, but rather just get kills, or even just sabotaging because they troll or whatever. One way could be having it only possible to bet on ones own team winning the round, but that would just give more money for the clans steamrolling the others. However, with banner balance off and only being able to bet on ones own team winning, this could be a fun addition.

There were never any problems like that with counter strike. I was thinking that people could only bet once they had been killed but that would mean this would really only work on battle servers. So when you die you can vote betwhite or betyellow followed by the amount of money you wish to bet. Just an extra way to make or lose some money. There would have to be a time restriction on the betting so that people didn't wait untill the last minute.

I think only experience should be betable, and you can only bet for the team you're on.
