    My guide assumes that you bet on the winner. No one bets thinking they are betting on the loser (hopefully), which is why it isn't included. I could certainly add a small comment on this when I make corrections during the next CW. I believe my numbers aren't right regarding the second multipliers, which is how your bet is affected by others' bets.

    I am currently completely revamping this post to make it clearer and to include the right numbers. I would like people's help to gather some statistics.

    When you get knocked out from the competition, I will need the following information from your bets as viewers (which means when the knockout rounds start for most):

    • How many tickets did you get?
    • Did you win your bet?
    • How many gems did you spend?
    • How many people bet on the loser?
    • How many people bet on the winner?


    I will need both winning bets and losing bets. I will analyse the winning bets first to single out a variable related to a bet's popularity. Then, I will analyse the losing bets to single out a variable related to the result.

    Hopefully I won't get too confused.

    If 5-10 people send me 4-5 answers each, I will have enough data to work with. Thanks in advance!

    This guide has been completely updated. It is now clearer and more accurate!

    On a sidenote, I don't know why it was moved to the Arena & PvP section of the forum. It has nothing to do with those matters.

    The General discussion are is getting too full so Morgan moved the championship warfare here. In a way it is like PvP, since you are fighting other players. Any discussion of this statement will be deleted because it would be off topic.

    Those numbers are, for the moment, right on track with what I have in this guide. Execdude's post suggests to me that the popularity multiplier really jumps fast in the lower % values, going as high as 5 (or even higher possibly). I would need someone's data from winning a bet and being the sole person betting on the winner.

    First of all, I have found that there is always at least one person betting on the loser when the winner is obvious. This suggests that the system makes the fighting players bet for themselves. However, it does not seem to account for them when calculating the multipliers.

    Popularity multiplier is "1" when bets are split even. I got 400 tickets (basic value was 400) from a good bet when 17 people had bet on each player.

    Popularity multiplier is "0.5" when 100% people bet on the same person as you. I got 200 tickets (basic value was 400) from a good bet when 33 people had bet on the winner and 1 person had bet on the loser.

    Popularity multiplier is "1.65" when 25% of the people bet on the same person as you. I got 826 tickets (basic value was 500) from a good bet when 16 people had bet on the winner and 48 on the loser.

    Result multiplier is "0.1" when you bet on the wrong person. I got 50 tickets (basic value was 300) from a wrong bet when ~25% of the people had bet on the same person as me. 300x1.65=495 .... 495/50= ~10... thus the tickets got divided by 10, or multiplied by 0.1.

    Sometimes, a losing player will get strong enough to beat the ubber player towards the final rounds. This is because every time a player loses a round, they get a +5% to defensive and offensive stats. These buffs add up so that they become significant when a player repeatedly loses. At some point, that player is likely to be able to win a fight or two. You need to keep an eye on the percentage of HP left at the end of every round to know when the time is right to switch side for your betting.

    Pay attention to how each player performs when they are attacking and when they are defending. Some do better when they are defending (although most do better when they are attacking). This is important in order to find out when you should bet on the "losing" player. If you bet on the unpopular winner, you will get a high popularity multiplier, which means loads of tickets in most cases. This is a good time to spend gems on your bet because your gem multiplier is multiplied by the popularity multiplier, which means you can get impressive amounts of tickets! You need to be aware that this isn't a secure bet. The choice is yours whether you are willing to spend gems and perhaps get no tickets.
    And also, sometimes a player will throw in the towel out of the blue. One of the tactics here is that a player will tell their friends that they are going to throw in the towel in the last second before the minute timeout so that they will bet on the other side. Given that most people would have made their bets on the stronger player already the friends will gain extra tickets when the stronger player throws in the towel.

    Well, to be fair they did mention that is an oversight on their part, implying that is not intentional, so technically that can be regarded as a glitch and that is exploiting it.

    But unless they actually do something about it that involves changes to how CSW is done (like when you can change formations etc) this will definitely keep on happening as it is rather hard to see on Tynon's side unless somebody is too explicit about it (as in keep on exploiting it once too often).
