Like I said before, you only get 100 points per win/correct guess.

You're pretty bold for somebody who is incorrect. lol

So to sum up:

The point totals of the battlers in a match are not changed at all by outsiders' bets on their match.
Betting on a match nobody else bets on will earn you 50 points profit if you are right.
Betting on the favourite will earn you under 50 points profit if you are right.
Betting on the underdog will earn you more than 50 points profit if you are right.

He is right...

I put in 50 pts for silentecho and megan fox. If they both win i make 200 points an 100 point profit since I put in 100 points. Each one got me a 50 point profit.

Also since I won my match and put 50 in on myself i get a 100 points aka a 50 point profit.

unless somethings changed.

How are you going to say that the person that made the system is wrong? You placed 50 points on Megan Fox. 18 people betted on Megan Fox and no one betted on Dr.Attack (so the house automatically places 50 points on Dr.Attack). If Megan Fox won, then everyone that betted on "her" will earn (18+1) x 50 = 950 points that will be evenly distributed to everyone that has made it to the next round. Lets say 12 of those people made it to next round. Then everyone that betted on Megan Fox, and Megan Fox won, will everyone will earn 950/12 = 79 points (a 29 point profit). While if someone betted on Dr.Attack, then that person would've earned the aggregate (950 points). Which is a 900 point profit.

Hope that makes things clear. Betting on a popular person will not earn you a profit. It's much better to bet on a dark horse even if the odds look small to you. But look at it, it's Pokemon - anyone can win.
 
Me and SilentEcho talked on irc a while back and he siad he'd pm when his team is ready. Since then I have made my team and are awaiting a reply. I sent a reminder VM yesterday but havn't have a reply. Basically a activity post.
 
I am in holiday (saturday 24.7.- saturday 7.8.10) so I can´t battle the next 2 weeks. I hope I can fight against Agamemmnon today or tomorrow if not, I´ll need a Substitute ;)
 
Activity post, DarkLucario said he had to make a team and I told him to contact me when he finished. No response.


Not accusing him, just an activity post.
 
i PM and commented on Night-Sans profile 6 days ago and still have no response
and i've been looking for night-san all over shoddybattle but can't find him
 
I still do not have response from seven7xenon. I have been active every day since the tournament started and he is not on shoddy either.
 
Just posting to say that i'm still here, and still on the lookout for mexican phoenix. we've come in contact a couple times, but still haven't found a time to battle yet though.
