Just released another qwdrama subsite: Goldrush

This is a site where you can gamble on QuakeWorld games. The idea is to bring a little more drama and joy to the games that are being played. Read more about it in the official post at qwdrama.com.

Goldrush 1.0 featurelist and wishlist.

perhaps more betting modes should be added, but i bet you already thought of that

some suggestions

more or less than 200.5 frags
1 X 0 system (for games that can tie)
worst efficiency (requires list of participants in game) - if the lists given aren't correct, the bets would be nullified
best efficiency (requires list of participants in game) - if the lists given aren't correct, the bets would be nullified
most quads (1 X 0)
most pents (1 X 0)

would be more fun to bet on stuff like this

Empezar :>

That can already be done.

When adding a game, you select any number of options. You just will have to change the title. IE
Slackers vs KOFF (frags)
[ ] > 200
[ ] < 200

Same with the other stuff. I think I'll have to make bet groups, else the upcoming game list will be too crowded.

I'll keep the Goldrush 1.0 featurelist and wishlist in the bottom of the official newspost.

Keep ideas coming!

Tie. It's like spreads in sports. Many go like .5 points to avoid any possibility of a draw. I recommend the 200 is change to like 200.5 or 199.5

odds of exactly 200 frags should be extremely high in comparison to >200 and <200 in that case

--- bug #1 ---

Biggest loss: $100

my biggest loss is $25

my biggest bet however, is $100

--- suggestion #1 ---

make the leaderboards show WINNINGS instead of BALANCE

the good betters won't have their money laying around doing nothing, just to be up there on the leaders board

--- suggestion #2 ---

I understand you can't add good odds on all games, which is why you should let the players act as bookies!

use the system they have on betfair

I want to give 4 odds on SR vs SD 2-0, I'm gonna match $100 here
some guy bets $100, and if it turns out, he wins $100x4 = $400, but if the result is ANYTHING other than 2-0, I win $100

you should change this while viewing other people's user info:

Clan MalFunction vs Death Dealers 1.4 2-0, $100

into

Clan MalFunction vs Death Dealers $100

there's no need to let people know what people are betting on right now, let them know AFTER the game!

otherwise, people can just imitate #1 on the leaderboard!

Potential win: $2033

if i bet on all outcomes of a game, my potential win can't be that EVERY outcome goes through, right?

potential win should be the BEST possible outcome, right?

Please add the FTK/KTK tourneys if you can. Like one day before they start for example.

I liked the beta version better to be honest. Things I am missing:

- You removed the option of betting multiple times on the same game? And also to increase the amount bet on a game? Or am i just overlooking something?

- Also, before you got an overview of possible wins in your profile, i think.

- and there is no way to check who voted on what option?

Not saying all that was really needed, but i rather liked it like that

you can raise your own odds by betting multiple time on same game, so i understand that move

Yeah, sure. But then just add the 2 amounts together and let them count for one bet?

Not sure if you could have any advantage in odds by placing bets on different options. I guess not, since overall the odds would become more equal like that.

The system can very much be gamed anyway if you have a number of people working together since small bets count the same as large bets towards the odds, no? Unless odds are also weighed for the size of the bet?

Oh well; I don't necesseraly want it to get very complicated or professional or 'safe' or whatever. It's fun enough as it is.

if there are 3 options to bet on, and each of them raises the other options' odds no matter how much you bet, then you can bet like this:

1 $500
X $10
2 $10

and get more out of that $500 bet than you would had you only bet on 1.

yes, lose $20 in order to make $100 extra on that $500, that seems like it's worth it to me.

how about a 1-2 minute "regret" function? I just misread a game and bet $1900 on the wrong score, would be nice if that was regrettable during the first minute, cause it will suck having to wait a month for a refill.
