You can sign-up now or anytime during the contest. Regardless, you will be given $1000 to bet on matches as you see fit. If at any time you fall below $1000, you can bet up to $1000 but beware you can enter the negatives. The user with the most money at the end will be crowned the winner and receive a game of their choice (within reason) courtesy of your host (unless I win, then the prize will go to the runner-up).
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. Back for this contest is 4-match days, meaning parlays are back too! For those unfamiliar, you can earn more by combining your bets, but if one is wrong you lose the whole thing. So let's say The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (-40) vs The Outer Worlds Halo: Reach (-10) vs Life Is Strange If you bet $100 on each of these individually and win, you earn a $100 profit on each, for a total of $200. However, if you parlay and both win you will get x3, meaning you win a $300 profit. However, if either match is wrong you lose the entire bet. 3 and 4 match parlays will give higher payouts, but you risk losing it all if any match in the parlay is wrong. 2-Match Parlay: 3 to 1 ($100 bet = $300 profit) 3-Match Parlay: 7 to 1 ($100 bet = $700 profit) 4-Match Parlay: 15 to 1 ($100 bet = $1500 profit) You can choose any combination of parlays and single bets you want. Today's Matches Batman: Arkham City (-28) vs. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Batman with 64%) BioShock Infinite (-30) vs. Terraria (Bioshock with 65%) Diablo III (-38) vs. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (Diablo with 69%) The Last of Us (-60) vs. Crusader Kings II (TLOU with 80%) --- MZero, to the extreme I'm a cheater at videogames - ertyu ...

HALF parlay on Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Bioshock Infinite, Diablo III and The Last of Us
Let's see, XBC2 v Arkham City. XBC2 managed to get 10% with SMO and BOTW in the poll - it shouldn't struggle to avoid being doubled by AC if it can do that. I think there's even an outside shot it wins this match! Bioshock Infinite v Terraria. There was a lot of hype and a bit of backlash as I recall for Infinite (I certainly enjoyed it much less than I expected), but it still did alright in the 2013 GOTYs. Terraria lost easily to Bastion. I'll risk Bioshock getting the doubling here, but it might flop. Diablo III v Zero Escape. I'm a little bit scared by this one. Zero Escape got 21% on ME2 and even if ME2 underperformed there's no way it won't do several points better on D3. D3 was also one of Blizzard's more controversial games so it'll probably get antivoted somewhat - I could see a KH3 style percentage. Still, it's x-stat from 2015 is absolutely awful. The Last Of Us v Crusader Kings II. CKII was in one poll in this site's history and it got 2%. FTL got 10% and XCOM got 34%. TLoU is probably stronger than when it was doubling Halo 3. Think it joins the 80% club tomorrow. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information ... Copied to Clipboard!

Damn, I forgot to get my bet in until like 2 minutes before the deadline. Really wished I had gone with Xenoblade II instead of Diablo III. I even had skepticism on Diablo III being that capable. Whereas Batman getting near a doubling would be pretty crazy.
