The ROBOCOP betting thread

[pwnsweet]

With only 2 weeks to go until Robocop, the inevitable EAST vs WEST comments in various threads across the board have reached fever pitch. Being a Perthian paying nearly $500 to attend Robo and also having full confidence in my bros (ie, Corpse's) abilities, I figure I'll capitalize on this situation by starting up this thread in an attempt to offset some of my expenses.

But it's not just for me. If you wanna lay down a bet, this is where you can do it. Just state the following:

1. What you're betting on (obviously)
2. Your payout ratio (ie 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 etc)
3. How much you'll cover up to
4. And any additional conditions you have

Once you've laid down your bet, sit back and wait for a fish to bite.

im sure theres rules on this, and legal issues, youre going to get some internet police (aka cao/mic) swoop on you fast

 

[pwnsweet]

I'll get the ball rolling and put forward the following bet:

1. I bet that no other Australian smasher can beat Corpse in a best of 3
2. I'll pay out 1:1
3. I'll cover individual bets up to $100, with up to 5 different people
4. Match must be played without music on, under Robocop tournment rules.

Any takers?

Without music on, wtf. >_>

Anyway, Tibs V Corpse, $100, nao.
Come on Tibby, you're a betting man. <3

 

[Hotdog]

lol without music on. You Perth people sure are retardedly picky.

That would be lame. Betting makes Brawl so much more interesting

 

[C~Dog]

Without music, is that refering to the game music, or venue music? If the latter, what about other noise? It's going to be very noisy regardless.

Haha yea, you probably won't be able to even hear the game sounds amongst all the crowd noise anyways.

Good point. And yeah, I meant game music.

 

[J-Birds]

Sounds like a way for you to back out when he loses in bracket as most of the wii's will have game music on.

 

[tibs7]

My bet is that for 100 bucks corpse won't be the highest placed Aussie at robocop.
Music ON.

 

[C~Dog]

Good point. And yeah, I meant game music.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. I'm assuming it's so Corpse can hear the characters sounds in the noisy enviroment of the venue, right?

 

[Redact]

ill place this bet

me vs his bo3 melee 500 bux

deal?

Na. Because my bet is a fairly broad one, I have to cover myself in case he verses a snake so he can hear when a mine is placed or a grenade is pulled but like C~Dog and Hotdog said, it'll probably make little difference anyway. Still, an unlikely small advantage is better than no advantage so the condition holds - NO music!

No bet - I have no confidence in Corpse's Melee skillz (sorry bro!)

 

[EverAlert]

pwnsweet -- do we have to pick a single person for him to play, or are we betting on his overall performance at robocop?

 

[pwnsweet]

My bet is for a 1v1 bo3 Corpse vs any Aussie. I'll match your bet up to $100

 

[pwnsweet]

double posted somehow
