As I said I will cap bets so that there is more than enough plat to pay ALL winners!


Oddibemcd... It took a lot more time that I had planned to come up with the odds for winners. I can not get you odds on other placings. I have mainly based it off of resists and known gear. Those with the lowest odds each have multiple loots off of PD and 40 MR from just head and chest slots. If I have a good responce I will put more time into the next rounds and have more options, but for tomorrow it will have to limit bets to first place only.
Instead of running this with fixed odds, like a football game, why not run it with moving odds like horse racing. You've worked a huge house edge into your listed odds (which I can't complain with, the EC casinos offer odds that range between bad and terrible and you deserve some sort of compensation for your time), but if you listed the take and the amount wagered on each competitor you could adjust the odds for each person as money is wagered, decrease your edge because of the guaranteed return and provide a more accurate snapshot of what the P99 community really thinks about the potential for each SK to win.

In the same vein, has anyone tried to run an actual book on P99? I've thought about it but never had the bankrole, nor the name cache to make it work. With the FCS bowl games and the NFL playoffs on the horizon, it would be a nice thing to have. Could probably make it work with 4:3 wagering (for every 4pp wagered, 3pp would be won) and would be a nice little thing to have.
