Gambling System.

[jlo_xyloto]

Like Bountying, I think points should be used in different ways to make them meaningful.

I propose a Gambling System, where you bet on who will win, if they win, they get the points, like the bounty system, but I would get my stake back, as well as that amount as a bonus. If he were to die, I lose the points and the killer claims the stake.

For example, I bet 100 on a player. He wins. He gets the 100, I lose no points, and get an additional 100, like betting on an Evens odds team.

If he is killed, then the player who killed him gets the 100 like a bounty, and I lose the 100 points.

Anyone like this concept? Feedback is always appreciated

technically this is bountying..... but bountying is usually used to give friends points xD

I always liked that idea. Maybe have every point gambled put in a big pool, and the winners split the winnings.

Also, the more people alive, the bigger of a bonus. e.g. 23 people alive = 200% bonus ; 3 people alive = 25% bonus.

Yes but bountying with a benefit for the gambler

point taken but this could mean that there is going to be a lot of people getting a lot of bounty from just staying alive and possibly camping

Thanks a lot! I think it could easily be added to the bounty system or as another feature

They'd still have to win in Deathmatch?

also if you and player get points then that will pretty much make it unfair if you double points cause you know your friend will win... this slightly makes me think about bounty glitching...

And not everyone will bet, they wont want to risk their points, but a fair amount of people would use it, in a few games that they spectate, makes spectators more involved, they have odds in the real hunger games so why not on MCSG?

However, this can be abused. If someone is about to kill someone to win, they can bounty then to ensure it.

This could solve people abusing it
