[CCL - S1] Betting Corner

[Tardet]

Welcome to the official betting corner of the Cavalry Champions League. In order to spice things up and compare our knowledge of the cavalry community or in a simpler way, gamble together about the upcoming matches of this competition, I have decided to open a dedicated thread for this activity. Will you decide to burn all your cash in one evening of crazy bettings or will you prefer going for the long-term and more tactical approach in order to get the number one spot in the rankings? The choice is yours!

Basic concept:

- Anyone is welcome to participate in this betting corner, wherever or not you'd find yourself playing in the CCL.
- Every participant will be given a starting sum of 40 coins.
- These coins will be called 'Napoléon', in reference to the currency used during the First French Empire.
- This currency doesn't carry any particular value, real or virtual, except it helps to rank each participant. If you have 10 Napoléons, and someone else has 12, this person shall appear above you in the rankings.
- The betting corner is a weekly feature. You can bet on one, two, three or all four matches of the CCL.
- The minimum amount to bet on a match is 1 Napoléon. There is no maximum.
- A public excel tabler will be used to display the current results of each weekly bettings, current rankings and participants.
- You cannot give your Napoléons to a friend.
- The bettings for a match close 5 minutes prior to its starting time.
- If you wish to change one of your bets, always re-post a message including which one you'd like to modify. If you post a bet and edit your message later on without saying anything, your bet may be deemed as null and void.

Odds Mechanism:

Because not all matches have the same stakes due to the strength of each participant, each of them will have their own odds. These odds effectively represent the multiplicator impacting every single bet.

Example A

[close]

In this example, this encounter opposes two regiments of arguably similar strengths. Because they are in theory of the same level, the odds are gonna be rather similar. With that being said, the 7e Hussards still has a small edge compared to the 15th and this edge shall be represented in the odds.

The '1.40' represents the multiplicator applied on the bets which give the 7e victorious. Effectively, it means that if you did bet 10 Napoléons on the 7e, you will receive 14 in case of a victory on their side.

Example B

[close]

In this example, this encounter opposes two regiments of very different strengths. To reflect this skill-gap, the odds are very different. You gain pretty much nothing if you bet on the Nr3 because they are pretty much certain of taking the victory against the Pontoniers. If you decided to take a risk and bet on the Pontoniers, you reward in the case of a victory will reflect the risk taken as it will be multiplicated by 6 in case of an upset.

If anything remains unclear, feel free to ask me here or on steam. Remember that the 1erRC vs 11e's match is tonight and you can obviously start betting on it. It is not really clear in the first post but you can also bet on the eventuality of a draw between two regiments. And yes, you can bet against your own regiment if you wish to.

Remember that you start with 20 Napoléons only, therefore, you should go easy on your first bets to avoid running out of money after Week 1. Good luck!

Edit: We are also happy to announce that this betting corner is sponsored by Mohamed Henni. No televisors were harmed in the making of this sponsorship.
