Championship gambling!!!

[Sparsebeard]

What this thread is for?
I want to refine the concept and make it clearer before starting, so feel free to ameliorate the concept, I'll update the main post quite regularly.

If you want to help, it will probably be useful, write it in this thread.

I hope the concept to be ready for monday, so if you are interested check for it monday, you should be able to bet on another thread or something…

Rules

1. Each arlong parker begins with a 100,000 Bellis to bet, you won't get any more so don't bet it all the same week.

2. There is one betting round for each chapter.

3. Each round is a totaly separate poll of money, so you may not want to bet every thing on the first chapter for it won't be decided until the rounds in the story ends which may take may weeks.

4. The money pool for each round is divided amongst the people who guess right proportionnaly the amount that you bet.

5. You can bet on any outcome for the round and if you are amongst the people who are right you win.

6. If nobody guessed right, everyone gets their money back (but then again, if even one person bet 1 B$ on Other he gains the bet of the week.

7. Bets must be placed before monday 23h GMT.

8. I'll do the banking so it'll be impossible to cheat.

Can we bet on other stuff like- "Who will get mera mera no mi?" If so then I bet 10,000 Beri on Sanji getting it if a Strawhat is to get it.(ignore post if its only for the tournament).

[Shadowgreed]

Thumps up for an awesome idea, no seriously but can you also add like an img.
ie: If I bet on Bellamy and he lose his block, I must use Bellamy's as an avatar with a sign that say Loser or something, some people may no be able to keep up with the count all the time

[Sparsebeard]

If enough people want to bet on it each week (and pe

If not there could be a one time special event betting on that… (like, one week to bet then it's over and winnings will be reparted when it's settled...) ...but you won't be able to use that money again for a while... since when the bets closed, the bets are frozen and the money bet is substRACTED FROM YOUR ACCOUNT.

I'll keep the count, it will be posted in each new round, with the standings… people can enter any round with 100000, provided they never participated before.

[melody of dead.deanders]

loosing all your money and being banned from the game forever is pretty harsh don't you think..?
maybe like you can't participate for a week and then you start anew..

and if everyone miss everyone gets their money back.. it would be more fun if everyone looses it..

[DynamiteShikoku]

could you use an example for no 4? i dont quite get the proportional part. i dont quite understand 10 and 11 as well. i basically like the idea but you need to explain a little bit more about the mechanics using some examples.

[omy785]

I bet everything that Mumm the necromancer won't win the tournament.:ninja:

[adbgonzalez]

I bet 50,000 on Bartolomeo winning block B.
PS: It would be a good idea to place the timeline sooner this week, as the chapter will probably come out sooner…
We are betting on the whole tournament, not single chapters, right? I mean, if block B battle royale doesn't end next week I don't loose the money, right?

[Qaaz]

I Bet 50,000 for the Block Winners

A) Burgess
B) Bartolomeo
C) Lucy
D) Rebecca

And that the tournament will never complete

[Shadowgreed]

I don't get No.4 ether but No.10 goes like this: In this chapter we got the introduction of the gladiators that will be participating in each block, we know enough info now to make a bet on each block, If in this chapter you bet 50 APM (ARLONG PARK MONEY), you have to bet again before the next chapter comes out since this one is an exception due to their introduction, so your next bet will pile up with your new one, If you bet 50 APM again you'll have 100 APM in block B but If block B doesn't end within the next chapter then you'r next bet will go straight to your already bet 100 APM till block B battle royal ends.

NO.11 I believe that this one is a rule for us to bet among us.
ie: If I bet on Bellamy for block B and one you bet on Bartolomeo, we will be betting among us even though it will get really confuse since a lot of people will bet the same guy but I think he also made a rule according to that situation.

PS: I'm against of the FOREVER part since you will be the House, you should do something like this: If I lose all my money I can still get some money IF I discover something interesting in a chapter, bring a good theory to the forum (have to be acknowledge by three people or more) and stuff like that, also a great price to the theory that becomes reality in the story.

[Aaronrules380]

I'd bet 80,000 that the block winners are
A. Burgess
B. Bartolomeo
C. Luffy
D. Cavendish

Also if we can bet on two things, 20000 on the tournament not running to completion

[Devil G.]

I bet 100000 on Lucy winning his round :ninja:

But seriously, I'm betting 40.000 on these block winners:

A: Burgess
B: Bartolomeo
Lucy
Cavendish

[Commander Chopper]

30 k on bellamy winning block b

[DynamiteShikoku]

soo.. is the subject of the bet is decided by the TS or are we just bet on anything? preferably the former because if we can just bet on anything then people will bet on something random or stupid and it will be hard for the TS to keep track of everything.

thanks for the explantion but honestly im still confuse

Ah in the same rules or the whole Thing?

Also guys you can not bet 40,000 APM to the four blocks since we are only in block B, so You bet 10,000 for block B and wait if you win/lose within the next chapter, IF the battle doesn't end in the next chapter you can add some more APM to your bet till the actual winner of that block is reveal.

PS: we know that the tournament will get interrupted so veering on that is just silly

So what the point to bet anyway when we know the winners from block A & C?

[Shadowgreed]

@The:

So what the point to bet anyway when we know the winners from block A & C?

the thing is we know does two winner but there's two more blocks, after does blocks are done we may get a 4 VS 4 battle where only one will be standing and that one will fight Diamanté or just 1vs1 also we are not completely sure that the tournament will be interrupted anyway

Nah i think after the final four we going to have two winners and the winner of that round going against Diamante but anyway i think the Tournament will get interupted when the 4 winners from each block will face the 4 members of Doflamingo Family

[Drazgoon]

I'll personally be keeping track of my balance in my sig myself so i can easily keep track. It would be good if someone could lock the thread before chapter comes out/spoilers are released so we can avoid ninja posts/edits.

[Light Bro]

This seems like fun idea.

I'll bet all 100,000 for Cavendish!

[Gear X]

This is a great idea
I bet 40K on Bartolomeo winning block B.

[Shadowgreed]

@The:

What If in the two winner there's a DD member and a non- DD member, I don't think the tournament is played out to be like that two against the king of the coliseum and more if those are Jesus and Luffy also the exchange is at 3 O'clock if I'm not mistaken, right now should be around 11-12 O'clock OP time so there's plenty of time before the warships arrive at greenbit and the marines start to move unless Fujitora arrives at GB and start slapping people right away

@Drazgoon:

I'm with you on that one, its got to be CCC or Aohige since they are the one who provide the spoilers

[Willpower]

I bet 75.000 belli on Cavendish winning his block
25.000 belli on Bartolomeo

[Qaaz]

I lol'd so hard on Fujitora part

Maybe something else will going to happen like Burgess lose against one of Doflamingo members and we got some surprise again and Burgess take advantage of the situation and steal the fruit over the chaos

Personally that moment I would like that Zoro will appear from nowhere and while happens this the chaos starts at Green Bit too

Next chaos part 3 in the roads of city from CP0 and all of them in mix

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

ok so the last two men standing on block b will be Bartolomeo and Bellamy for bet 50,000

[Shadowgreed]

Next chaos part 3 in the roads of city from CP0 and all of them in mix

I was thinking something along those lines since Kinemon and Sanji's side story is already linked and Zoro's can be link to them anytime, it will definitely be epic If they appear out nowhere and see Luffy being attack by DD's men and just jump in like in FI when Luffy was walking toward Hordy also Franky being on the basement of the coliseum and using RB to get out of there in a cool way just like Garp punching the wall back in water 7

[Aaronrules380]

Maybe I should clarify, but I'll be betting 80,000 each, one at a time. If I fall below 80,000, just put the rest on the next bet

[DynamiteShikoku]

so this week we are going to place a bet on who will be the winner of block B? or can we just bet on anything? i think it is better for the thread starter to determine the subject of the bet so people wont go astray and place a bet on something random like 'i bet all my money that we wont see nami walk around dressrose topless next chapter' or betting on something that's still a few chapters away like the winner of block D.

[Commander Chopper]

This is the only logical thing to do since this is the event that will come to a close much sooner than any other type of events we could bet on.Also everyone should be betting on the same event.

[Sparsebeard]

Main post updated to answer questions and make easier to understand, also, it's not decided yet but probably round 1 will be only about the exact outcome of block B.

[walut]

I bet Rebecca. No offense. I just got a huge feel bout that lol

[nonectra]

I'll bet 80,000 boon beli on Ricky Ricardo and his wife, Lucy, advancing.

[Clessenur]

I'll bet 30,000 beli on Bellamy winning block B. And 15,000 beli on Bartolomeo forfeiting/simply leaving the area.

[Jyuunishinshou]

I'm all in 100k for Cavendish win block D!!

[Qaaz]

Again to be sure for no mistake

ok so the last two men standing on block b will be Bartolomeo and Bellamy for bet 50,000

[Gear X]

@The:

Again to be sure for no mistake

Won't a bet like that be a bit weird. I mean how would that fit with the way which OP has written about distributing the pot money.

[akagami7]

I bet 20,000 on ricky and 5,000 on bellamy

[Qaaz]

@Gear:

Won't a bet like that be a bit weird. I mean how would that fit with the way which OP has written about distributing the pot money.

Ι do not find anything strange. I'm just saying winner at block B will be one of these two

If you want, I'm doing 25 on each one

[DynamiteShikoku]

ok i think i got it now. now we just have to wait for the subject of the bet.

[The Laughing Man]

100,000 beli on Bartolomeo winning Block B (and Bellamy remaining relevant throughout the arc).

[Dohs]

I think this idea might be very nice, IF players will participate (and i see there are already interested in it :)) and if you keep it up, update regulary and not get bored of it and dissapear from forums. But i guess someone could replace you in that case.

@melody:

loosing all your money and being banned from the game forever is pretty harsh don't you think..?
maybe like you can't participate for a week and then you start anew..

and if everyone miss everyone gets their money back.. it would be more fun if everyone looses it..

Then its your fault. It wouldn't make sense if you could come back after one week back with full cash. Then everyone would bet all their money and win tons of 'cash' or lose and just wait a week to start anew. If you don't play this game too harsh you should be able to play almost as long as you want. You could always leave 100berri for 'dark hour' and if you lose all your bets then you can start betting 1berri for each bet You won't win much but at least you can still have fun and see whether your bets wins or not And If there was to be 'new game' mode it should take more than 1 week, 1 month maybe?

edit: ok maybe people betting on everything is too random. Also it would be nice if you updated main topic with bets and things people bet on. Maybe make another topic for it? Damn it seems like this thing should get whole subforum ! xD

Im betting 5'000 on Bartolomeo to win his block.

[Sparsebeard]

See the new thread to see if your bet was entered, also, advertise!!!

[h=1]Championship gambling!!! Round 1[/h]

[Dohs]

This makes waiting for new chapter even more exciting But I'm wondering about some things.

Example: Let's say Luffy doesn't win block C for whatever reason (being beaten, having to forfeit, whatever). I bet 1 000 on 'other than Luffy' and someone bet on someone specific like Chin Jao, aso 1 000.

Will we both win and he will get more cash cause he made it more specific? Or bet like 'someone else other than Luffy' is too vague and doesn't count?

Or maybe only something like 'other' work, so i will win if someone who noone bet on will win?

Next question:

Someone was proposing a bet like 'Bellamy and Barto will be 2 last man standing in block B" does it count? If noone bets for other pair of 2 that stands before the final duel in block B then his bet is invalid?

Last question:

What if block B doesn't come to finish, for example Tournament is stopped for some reason. We will get cash back? The one who voted 'other' will win?" Or 'other' will only count if someone else wins than anyone bet on?

1. "Other" refers to any person who was't mentionned by any body in their bets, however, if there is a more precise bet, it wins and "other" loses.

2. This will be treated as 25000 on Bell and 25000 on Bart.

3. "Other" refers to a participant therefore, other would not win in that case. However, if someone said "no winner", he wins.

Also, if olny one person bet on the right outcome, he wins everything, regardless of the amount he bet.

[Qaaz]

So the same bet for 708 chapter?

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

So, when we start nex round and when do we get the results?
