I'm suddenly leaving on a weeklong trip to hike up a >4000m high mountain. Anyone want to manage the Serpent King?

I'm leaving now so the first person to say "Long live the King!" will be the official manager! Thanks in advance!

[xub313]

I'll do it. Have fun on your trip and long live the king!

I'm not familiar with gambling rules, but I guess that if you win, you get infinite times the amount you bet ?

I'm not sure if I appreciate the whole 'odds thing' it seems to take some of the enjoyment out of seeing the actual matches and guessing who will be the winner, but what I'm really concerned about is why the hell did you do 50 matches for each of these fights.

+1 all this lol

[drgnlord]

1) Its not under the same conditions or environments.
2) Its not absolute. Who knows who will actually win the actual fight.
3) Why does 50 concern you? Iteration is easy in arena mode or is it that its more about your loss of enjoyment at guessing? (I was just using a testing pattern.)
4) People don't just go for the person that has the better odds.
5) I tried to keep it spoiler-ed so people didn't have to look at it if they didn't want to (People broke the spoilers in quotes though).
6) It won't be happening again (Post has been deleted).

This is what I think of your estimates!

Looking at the Tourney Bracket makes me very scared. I think that it will be Thurr vs Thud which should be a good fight.

[PresidentFord]

Odds for upcoming matches are a tad worrying, if only because the odds are against me, but it's fun to look at the odds for matches that have already passed. Lucan Stone should have had that in the bag!

Edit: Also, not to press, but do we have an estimated start time for today's bouts?

P.S. big thanks to Unraveller for setting this up/bringing it to my attention, I'm going to be introducing it to my weekly game night group.

[Arkansan]

This really is tons of fun. I like going in blind so I've avoided the odds. Looking forward to the next set of matches.

Oh and a quick question to make sure I'm clear. I had 4 points remaining, so does that mean that I have 8 now and if I were to win again it would be 16 afterwards?
