Bet Thread

[Uriel]

What are the rules on changing my bets? Obviously I'm not going to make a lot of major changes, cause I don't want to lose the potential points for betting on the winner. But I would like to change my bets based on how the discussions seem to be going.

You can make and edit your threads in the first phase as long as the fights are not on going. And from tomorrow (I'll update then) those changes will make less points.

Ah, never mind then, I'll just stick with what I've got.

Hmm... I'll be surprised if neither Whitebeard nor Roger win this.

I would expect Roger to win, because he was actually the Pirate King. But I can also see people voting for Whitebeard, because he's Whitebeard and "we haven't seen anything from Roger." I dunno. I think the last round will come down to them, and Roger might take the win by a slim margin.

For my bet about Garp vs Mihawk, just put in Dragon where it says Garp. Everything else should turn out roughly the same.

Ditto - I didn't think the son would win...

thats why in bets it doesnt matter who u think will win

Yeah it does. If you didn't think he would win, you wouldn't bet for him!

i actually voted for garp, but i bid that dragon would win... :P

Uri, i have a question. Any bet is needed to have a winning or losing percents to get more points?

Nope, you could just throw the winner without percentages or the percentages without the winner. Got it? I need to update this >_>

1 point for correct guess, and 3 (?) for the correct %. So you can just bet on the winners, which gets you points if you're right, but if you can guess any percentage correctly you gain a massive advantage. Now watch as Ace 100%'s Silvers just to ensure none of us get the right percent...

Kudos Uriel, U just made it interesting
Missed it out.. here are my predictions for remaining ones –

BB wins over Enel by 85% 57-62%
Roger wins over Marco by 80% (until and unless Marco wins because of fan base)
Rayleigh Wins over Ace by 93%
Shanks wins over Doffla by 93%

Next- BB wins over Roger by 60%
Rayeligh wins over shanks by 62%
Dragon wins over Mihawk by 93%
WB wins over Akainu by 55%

Next –
BB wins over Rayleigh by 70%
Dragon wins over WB by 65%

BB wins over Dragon by 65%

BB wins

Question – How will the winner for percentage be decided as the results are coming in decimal places... A cap should be allowed for betting.. Like I bet the win as 60-63% (cap of 3%) or 60-65% (cap of 5%). Will edit the post as per the reply..

 

[SuperPeon]

Awww. Just took a look. I was 3% away to guess Dragon's winning percentage... It's like winning in a lottery. Can't we edit the percentage margin? Like giving 10% difference... e.g. 56-66% for this guy to win

 

[Uriel]

I was already thinking on having a 5% of tolerance.

 

[Leonsagara]

Dang, was wrong on Mihawk vs. Dragon. Although I didn't actually think Dragon would beat Garp in the first place, since it's hard to figure out just how strong his reputation is. Oh well, Shanks is definitely going to win over Mihawk in the next round, so no changes necessary.

 

[Ninja_Pirate]

WHAT!!! I mean come on.. first everyone makes dragon win over Garp (Equal with sengoku.. and turned down all promotions in his way and VA by choice) .. and then Mihawlk wins over Dragon ... it is all getting too unpredictable,.,..

So obviously I need to change my bets as following

Dragon wins over WB by 65% ----- > WB wins over Mihawk by 80%

BB wins over Dragon by 65% ------>BB wins over WB by 60% (I am not confident about it now)

 

[Uriel]

LOL? See, it's fun to see how wrong everyone is :P

 

[Kazu-Sama]

It's not fun to spend so long debating Enel vs Blackbeard that I did it too well, and more people voted for Enel than I thought so I got my guess wrong -.-

From now - I still say Rayleigh would beat Shanks, no doubt, but I'm going to change my vote to Shanks with 69%
Gol D. Roger would beat BB, but still going to say BB would win with 56%
I think full-strength WB would beat BB, but people will vote BB with 78%
Shanks gets 90% vs Mihawka.
Shanks gets 74% vs BB, to win. It's Minato part 2...


Also, Uriel, love the Froakie avatar




Welp, results are in - I was 3% off Shanks/Rayleigh -.-


So, Shanks has won this tournament, it's safe to say. *sigh*

 

[Ninja_Pirate]

Got almost everything wrong ... Here are my bets for semis and final....

Shanks wins with 85% over mihawk

Whitebeard Roger... tough fight... Roger wins by 55%

Roger wins over shanks ---------- by 52%

 

[Leonsagara]

Roger should barely edge out Blackbeard with 55% of the votes. Shanks will also have a narrow margin over Rayleigh, with 58% of the total.

I was right on the nose about the Roger vs. Blackbeard fight! Awesome.
