| Topic | ~GotD10s Spread Betting~ Finals - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (-20) |
| MZero11 05/12/20 10:18:21 AM #1: | WHAT IS SPREAD BETTING? Basically this works like sports betting with spreads, if you're familiar with that. Here's an example line: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (-40) vs The Outer Worlds If you bet on BotW, it would have to beat TOW by 40%, meaning it would have to get at least 70% of the vote (70-30 = 40). If you bet on TOW (+40) it needs to score at least 30.01% of the vote (69.99 - 30.01 = 39.98) to keep the difference in percentage, or spread, within 40 points. So someone with $1000 bets $500 on BotW BotW 73.12% TOW 26.88% BotW covers! The bet is doubled and returned for a profit of $500 and the player is now at $1500 ALTERNATE UNIVERSE BotW 63.1% TOW 36.9% TOW covers! All BotW bets are lost and said player is now at $500. Even though BotW won, it didn't win by enough. Today's Match The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (-20) vs. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt/The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Zelda with 60%) Today's match involves an undecided contestant. You may make conditional bets pending the outcome of this match if you so desire. All bets placed on Witcher or Skyrim will be considered bets on the underdog unless indicated otherwise by the bettor (So all bets on Witcher would become bets on Skyrim should something crazy happen) --- MZero, to the extreme I'm a cheater at videogames - ertyu ...
