New Bet System Idea [Updated and Edited v2]

[Mason_MCSG]

I dont see a reason in adding /bet as /bounty will still be allowed as a command so they can still bounty a player before there friend kill that player. Also /bounty pretty much sets a bet as if that player wins they get the bet/bounty points.

The bounty system would probably be removed if this was added.

The intention is to improve and therefore change the current bounty system. You could say that the bet and bounty system are actually the same, except that the bet system tries to get rid of the disadvantages of the bounty system, e.g. being targeted because of a 1000 points bounty. Also, the main difference between these 2 systems is that the player in game won't get the points himself anymore if he wins, but the player(s) who betted on him.

If you vote no, please remember to leave a comment why.

I think it should be like this:
if your player that you bet on won: the total bounty on that player would be divided by total betters.

Haha, this sounds amazing! I would love for something like this to be implemented into the game, it would actually add interest into spectating!

I now am a little 50/50 on if this should be in or not. Because if it's added in your "stats" it would be another reason for hackers to try and win the bets to increase their ratio or whatever it would go by.

Parrot you also said that bounty just gets people targeted. Same dif with the betting system. You could just target the person you didn't vote for just to increase your chance of getting points.

First of all, I would like to say this: The bet system only applies to spectators. Players that are still in the game are not able to bet on other players, just like you can't bounty someone while being in a game yourself.

Regarding the hackers: hackers have the same chance at winning or losing the bet as much as other players. Hackers only have an "advantage" over other players in game, they can't use their hacks anymore to kill players once they died.

Regarding the targeting: the same as above. You can only bet on people if you join a game that has already started or after you died in a game yourself.

I hope that this made sense...

I have been thinking alot about this and i personally think the only way to make this work is in the lobby.

"You can only bet in the lobby"

If I think twice about your suggestion, this may be the best option so far since players could not abuse it in spectator mode if they see someone with OP stuff and bet on them in the last minutes of the game. If you can only bet in the lobby, it is still unknown for everyone how the match will end up. But how would you prevent players being targeted because of their bet? Would you make the bet invisible for players until the match is over or something else? Thanks for your input on this though!
