[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 6031069, member: 12941"] [sblock=OOC]Have to remember how this works... Also, some reminders: Re: the "normal" wagers: You find 4 bookies who are each able to handle a wager of up to 250 gold. Assuming that you win your first fight, you can either (a) ask Ekaym to cash you out, or (b) continue to let a wager of up to 250 ride. (None of the bookies can finance wagers of more than 250, so they can't let your whole amount ride. Mostly, this is because I realized that you guys would have the potential of winning WAY too much gold... like several hundred thousand gold.) Bottom line, you could toss a total of 1,000 gold out there; if you win, you'll get 10,000 back (this time), of which you could re-bet 1,000 on the next fight. These "normal" wagers only go on a bout-to-bout basis. Depending upon how well you guys perform (including winning bouts, but also things like landing critical hits) your fictional "rank" will go up. As your rank goes up, the suspected odds of you winning increase, and wagers in your favor become less profitable. It is possible (though not VERY likely) that, if you make it to the final bout, payouts on bets for you to win could be as crappy as 1:10. Re: Tirra's offer: You can give Tirra 2,500, and if you win the whole thing, the guild will give you 7,500 and the guild's "gratitude." I THINK that Ti figured out that you have 641.5 on hand AFTER you through the max 1,000 at the "normal" bookies. Right? So then you'd only need to get just under 2,000 in collateral to cover Tirra's offer.[/sblock] Nethezar nods. [color=orange]"I'll talk to him.
