Title: Swordbreakers Betting Booth
Description: Make some money on the SB tourney!


Aeneas - June 5, 2004 01:27 AM (GMT)
That's right folks, the Swordbreakers are having an intraclan tournament, and are offering up the chance for YOU to make money on it. The official rules are as follows:

You may bet any amount of money on any contender in the tournament. The amount of money you bet will determine the amount of the rewards that you reap. In example, if Shugotenshi decides to drop her entire bank account on Aeneas in the first round (good choice!) and it accounts for 95% of all bets on Aeneas, than she wins 95% of the payout as well as her own money back. To maximize your money reaping potential bet high! You may only bet on matches that haven't yet had both contenders post. Once the second fighter makes his post, that's it for betting on that match. Note that a 5% usage fee will be made from every bet into the Swordbreaker's Treasury for equipment upgrades, etc. Make sure to check back into this thread often to see how much you've won, and who'll be in the next round of bouts! The person who sets the highest amount of GP into successful bets will receive a GP bonus and a surprise present from Kiwi, so make sure to bet on every match!

Betting currently available on the following matches (subject to change, obviously. Check the thread before you bet.)

Slicer vs. Crimson No longer available for betting!

SaviorX vs. Akane Lockheart No longer available for betting!

Anubis vs. Blue Knight No longer available for betting!

SaeSawanoguchi - June 5, 2004 01:35 AM (GMT)
Okay luckily they haven't started yet.

I'd like to bet 100 on Akane Lockheart.

Also I'd like to bet 100 on Blue Knight.

Yay! Go my friends! Good luck! :D

Unfortunately now I'm officially broke. Lol.

Savior X - June 5, 2004 02:57 AM (GMT)
I'd like to bet 200 GP on Aeneas and 200 GP on Slicer.

*Hands over 400 GP*

Duo0017 - June 5, 2004 03:06 AM (GMT)
I'll bet 100 Gp on Aenaes! *slaps down 100 GP*

Aeneas - June 7, 2004 02:15 AM (GMT)
Come on people! One last match to bet on. Will it be the Level 8 Heavy Blade, or the Level 11 Wavemaster? Brains vs. Brawn in this match, don't be left behind on the betting!

Savior X - June 7, 2004 03:00 AM (GMT)
Hey, where are the bets on me? :angry:

FXOmniCrest - June 7, 2004 03:07 AM (GMT)
I would ask the same thing, if it weren't for Aeneas's superior posting abilities. However, I would also ask when Aeneas was asked to set up the topic when I was set in charge of it... Oh well. However, Aeneas, with only one person betting on you, all that person will get is their own share of money back. Remember the percentages? If I win, he will simply get his money back. If I lose, he gets his money back. Same with you. Percentages is a liability to how you limited the betting system from how it was originally... Oh well, liabilities, liabilities, liabilities... I love saying that word as well as '...' ...

Anyways, should I copy the original betting paramaters and post it up here?

Yuna Whitepaws - July 20, 2004 07:12 PM (GMT)
Of course everyones betting on Aeneas! He's an awesome writer! (And the greatest brother!!!)

FXOmniCrest - July 25, 2004 04:11 AM (GMT)
... Are you two related???

And also, I beat Aeneas because he forgot the duel was still on, and lost to the 15 day rule. :lol: All of you lost your money, folks... Wait, you lost your money to no one because no one bet on me! Darnit.

Yuna Whitepaws - July 25, 2004 11:10 PM (GMT)
What?!!! Big Brother lost?! T_T Well, in the end neither one won.

FXOmniCrest - July 27, 2004 05:31 PM (GMT)
Well, yah.

Mostly because of default. Had it not been the day count that killed him, he would have beaten the **** out of me!

Now, if only other people would finish their duels, and people would start betting on them... I'll get some stuff up if need be...
Oh, and Savior X and duo, just another reminder. Your bets for Aeneas are kind of back in your possession, just in case :)

Yuna Whitepaws - July 27, 2004 06:21 PM (GMT)
Well, even though he lost I still think he's one of the best posters. Someday, I'll be as good as him. *Dreamliy looks up into the fantasy make-believe sky* ^_^

Krops - July 29, 2004 05:29 AM (GMT)
500 on Savior X. Come on Savior! Win me some money!

SaeSawanoguchi - August 2, 2004 07:24 PM (GMT)
AHHHAAAA!!!
Yyyyaaaayyyyy!!!

Knight won not Anubis. *does the happy dance*

Which means I get my 100 GP back right?

Yay Knight I knew you could do it and I'm so happy it was finally graded. Now Savior you better change that picture you put up. ^_^

FXOmniCrest - August 2, 2004 08:26 PM (GMT)
Okey! (Trying to have an odd accent here...)

Now, The rules, what with the new smaller group of people, is here! Just because we are in the semi-finals, I am thinking that we all need to raise the stakes here people! From now on, there is a minimum bet of 200 GP, not very high, just one Friday's pay! The same percentages will be used for betting. The system may be found here: The percentage betting System If this is confusing, let's just say that the people who bet on the losing people lose all of their betted money, and it is split up fairly to the others who betted on the winning guys. I'll calculate it, so no worries there! (I do hope you guys will trust me)

All previous rules and prizes for top betters and fees are still in account for this round. I think Kiwi is still up to the prizes...

Semi-Finalists on the left!
Savior X
Krops betted 500 GP!
Vadok betted 500 GP!
Lugiablaster betted 27 GP! (You know that isn't much of a percentage...)

Blue Knight
FutekiKesshi betted 250 GP!
SaeSawanoguchi betted 500 GP!

Semi-Finalists on the right!
Slicer
Nothing

FireX
FutekiKesshi betted 250 GP!

Oh, and by the way, you all get your money back because no one bet on opposite people! You need to bet on those who are facing off with each other to gain or lose money!

FutekiKesshi - August 3, 2004 06:14 PM (GMT)
Sorry i have changed my mind, *takes back 1,000 gp*. Sorry but its a bit too dead.

SaeSawanoguchi - August 9, 2004 03:10 AM (GMT)
It isn't dead really... they are waiting until Slicer gets back and on top of that Savior has also gone off on vacation so it is just on a small break I believe. Also heard it wouldn't start til Monday.

So you didn't have to remove your bets. Just be patient, that's all it takes. On that note I'll put 500 GP down on Blue Knight.

You better do you best and not let me down you hear me Knight!!


FutekiKesshi - August 9, 2004 03:43 AM (GMT)
Ok sae you win ill put some money down for the bet. 250 on knight and 250 on fire X.

SilentEclipse - August 21, 2004 05:24 PM (GMT)
100 on SaviorX

FXOmniCrest - August 22, 2004 05:50 AM (GMT)
Sorry, I'll modify the stats of betting. I was unaware that I was still up as the betting-guy-person-etc.-whatever.

Anyways, I'll update the betting status.

SilentEclipse - August 29, 2004 09:31 PM (GMT)
Say that in english please. When is the battle going to start.

lugiablaster - September 3, 2004 07:03 PM (GMT)
The battles shall be set up... sooner or later.

BTW, I bet 27GP on Savior. Better not let me down!

SilentEclipse - September 5, 2004 03:28 AM (GMT)
Is there time left to place bets or is it too late If it isnt then I place 400 more
Gp on savior x

FXOmniCrest - September 10, 2004 09:32 PM (GMT)
