But cheating is encouraged.

Do you at least think the odds were calculated right?

Yeah, hate to say it though, but the JLA has a lot of heavy hitters with the Martian Manhunter, Superman, and Ion, and the Outsiders have only one Metahuman.

I don't do betting... So I don't even understand what those numbers mean.

Alright. The JLA has 2 to 1 odds. That means they've got, according to Gargan, the best chance of winning. He expects most people to bet on them . . . and at 2 to 1 odds, every bet is worth double in the pay off.

To lure people intop betting on other teams, and therefore make a profit, he assigns the other teams increasingly higher odds, dependiong on how likely they are to win. Take the Tiutans. Where a bid of $1 on theJLA yields $@ if they win, that same $1 bet on the Titans, should they win, os worth $5.

Hypotehtically speaking.

So, if the BoP win, and I bet 1 gold on them... I get 3000g?

Theoretically, if they won? Yes.

What's the minimum bet?
PostPosted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 10:30 am


I think I'll set it at 100 gold and max it at 1K.

A word of advice, Gargan. How the teams stack up will have nothing to do with their power level whatsoever. In fact, the BoP should probably clock in at 2:1.

Does that factor in sabotage and cheating?
Say . . . you wanna work for the Scorpion Venom? I was never THAT great at odds to begin with . . .

That's good, some of us would have an unfair advantage....
