Final Payout Table





good luck all

[shaunovery]

Yis and try covering all the bases

[yisman]

opti, my final bet amounts


50 on US
25 on world
75 on Europe

(thought we were using traditional tote where my US bet wouldn't pay out much, so I cut down the US bet)

nothing on canada

[yisman]

oh I think I get it now

trytrytry and I would get points back no matter what due to the nature of the pool (extra points not covered getting returned)

shaun's post confused me because I didn't have bets on all and neither did trytrytry

[trytrytry]

maybe you invented some new form of parimutual wagering with a twist here im not sure...innovations happen all the time..

...but it looks crazy.

triple D had a different idea for it which is what Optional is using, I think

[shaunovery]

Now im confused

Yeah exactly, as only 154 points bet on world, that is the maximum exposure on all teams should World win, therefore there is refunds to all Canada Europe and USA bettors.

A massive pain in the ass to calculate.

Payouts would have looked like this if traditional method.




Sorry for confusion.

I agree try.

I would have switched to the regular method when i realized what a bad idea it was but was afraid it would create even more confusion.


Do you like the basic idea though?

I think I'd like to do it daily for next weeks tourneys, with a 5% vig for the time/effort. Using the regular tote method of course.

Did you see the 2 threads in points forum from Triple_D_Bets? One to bet on players for main tourney, and one to pick a fantasy team.

Think I'll also do this tote pool each day too.

I'm glad to see SBR is keeping the past tournaments up and not removing the results from the lobby like they did with the dailies, will make it easier to track!

Thanks Wulf. I wish I did not know how to calc it out too. It hurt my brain. LOL

I got the last win (USA).

Edit: Nevermind. I see you're asking about 10pm. Doesn't seem to be there. Odd.

[Wulfman14]

[Triple_D_Bet]

10 PM was canada, situation i believe...weird that it's the only one not listed

[Wulfman14]

[Optional]

Thanks for playing everyone.

Now I have my shit together and understand how this works better I will do it again each of the 4 days of the finals next week.

But without the money back component in the rules, and without the chance of a tie.

I'll put up a thread in the points forum for it next Monday and bump this thread to remind you guys.

[slikec]

Why for each day make for all 4 days. 1 day i to much variance 4 is a bit better value

[shaunovery]

Shouldnt i received 97 points for me dead heat

Maybe someone could explain
