Thread: ticket payout for cwf

  1. #11
    Maybe a bit off topic. but an idea I had a while ago was to have auto-betting for those who miss CW (all on attacker if no bet is made). It's quite a big thing to miss out on the rewards, and this helps a bit. The other thing is does, is makes the attacker constantly the bigger bet. We could still maybe get full tickets when PR is defending. Solves 1/4 of your problem...

    I do feel that he shouldn't be punished for being strong.

    ps. Woot I managed to guess PR would lose that one fight.

    Even if pr were banned from cwf, there is no guarantee that people would get more tickets (if you are wrong you will not get very many tickets).

    Yeah well I aint saying he threw that match, but his strategy makes -100% sense. He has only 2 out of 7 heroes that use morale and his 2nd sub is herja?????????

    Really????????

    I think he lost because aphrodite had a particularly bad fight. It was really close. And I agree with everything you've said here matt. It's not fun to watch, I'm not learning anything, and my chance at any significant ticket income has been destroyed. blayd competing in CW essentially ruins it. It's equivalent to Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps competing in the special olympics... It's just not a competition and no one gains anything from it.

    The whole reason you get more if you bet on the underdog and win is so people will watch to see just how well each player is doing. The looser gains 5% attack/defense each loss. It's extremely hard to win all 11 bouts in the final. The 'art' is trying to figure out just when the underdog will win the bout(s) he/she will actually win.

    And, the fact that there's one person that happens to be so far ahead of everyone else should have nothing to do with how many tickets one gets. It wasn't all that long ago we didn't even have CWF and the ticket system. It's not our right to get as many tickets as possible, it's something you should be actively engaged in - though from the sidelines. Banning someone because some feel they're not getting the tickets they 'deserve' is kind of selfish, in my opinion. I mean, you get tickets even if you pick the wrong person as the winner.

    Ahh but you see teh real point of cwf was to see who the best is. That question has been answered. SO the point now is to get as many tickets as you can. ANd pussy riot skews that drastically. It takes away alot of the fun of cwf.

    Lets say you dont make knockouts. And your first knockout fight is pussyriot. Then you are stuck betting on him for the entire cwf. Making it so you cant get the extra tickets if you bet on the underdog and he/she wins. How is that fair to the betters on the side line.

    I dont want pussyriot punished - he can be automatically awarded the max tickets and the prizes of 1st place for all i care. I just dont want to have to be forced to bet on him. SO I want him eliminated form the competition, because he has none.

    He's saying a lopsided fight like this means people wins less tickets and someone should be banned so these lopsided fights do not occur. Do you agree with that logic?! I hope not. The fights that are close, you also have a higher chance of betting the wrong person and the since the bets will be more even, betting on the right person also means getting less than you would get when you get it right on a lopsided fight. Sure, the potential would be higher. And yes, the bets will be more challenging, but banning someone for being ahead simply because someone feels they are getting less tickets betting on the fight, makes no sense. You can't ban someone on that basis. You have to find other means to bring about more competition. The stars is a start, but definitely more needs to be done.

    This is typical mattp. When he feels it is something that doesn't affect him, he'll tell people to suck it up and "live with the cards you are given." When he feels it does affect him (however small that may be or something no one else would complain about) he will scream foul and ask for things to change for his favor while ignoring how his demand will unfairly punish others.

    Ahh so i see you just think betting on pussyriot constantly is fun. Well i think its boring. I have been against cwf since the initial idea was announced. I am still against it cuz the concept is idiotically setup.
