Kanji, Toejam, and Earl vs. Snake, Duke Nukem, and ???
200 on New Stars +400

Toad, Zipadeedooda, and Layton vs. Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Zangief
200 on Old Stars +400

Senator Armstrong vs. Illidan Stormrage: 30 Minute Iron Man
200 on Nanomachines, son. +400

Scorpion vs. Ganondorf
200 on Ganondorf +800

The Dragons (c) vs. The Practice: Co-op Championship
200 on Bimmy and Jimmy +400

Kefka (c) vs. Groose: Casual Championship
200 on Kefka +20

Guile (c) vs. Dan Hibiki vs. Sabin: VGCW Championship Tables Match
200 on Sabin +600

  • Dante wrote the threatening notes. +1000
  • Vegeappa and Jensen will team up to stop a Gaben. +0
  • Flint will join Snake and Duke, because he's a bro who helps out when anyone needs a hand. +0
  • The Iron Man match will end 6-4. +0
Now, who does the cautious approach benefit, King?

Well, the winnings from this are 4020, + 1600 not wagered = 5620, but that's not as much as would have been won from "All in on Ganondorf". So I dunno!

If my maths is right I should be sitting on 1,680,636 Bison bucks now, thank you Ganon for pulling through, glad I bet this way as if I had gone all in on Kefka (as I almost did) I would be bankrupt now. :mrmoney:

So does anyone care to explain to me how one calculates your winnings in this? I tried back at Challenge Tower, and was off by a good bit. I can add the bonus totals up easily enough (I graduated Elementary School after all) but calculating the betting system is...I wouldn't say hard, I just never learned how to do it.

Each option has two values. If your bet is successful, you multiply your bet by the number on the left. If your bet is incorrect, you multiply it by the number on the right.

Senator Armstrong vs. Illidan Stormrage: 30 Minute Iron Man
Armstrong: 2:.1
Illidan: 3:.1


Let's say Person A bet 100 Bison Bucks on Armstrong - they'd claim winnings of 200 (2 x 100).
Person B bet 100 Bison Bucks on Illidan - they come away with a sorry 10 (0.1 x 100).

You do not add your winnings onto your bet. So Person A has gained 100 Bison Bucks compared to their original amount. Person B has lost 90.

Hope that hasn't confused matters further! I don't ever intend to be a maths teacher...

Thanks guy ;D

So if I did that right, I made $4990 off of the matches (considering I only got three matches right, that is fantastic. Thanks :darklord: ) and $2000 off of bonus questions...I'm going to have $6990 to play around with in the future. Sweet.

And for the bonus questions:

Who has been writing the threatening notes? (1000) Still going with King Dedede

Who will be the one to step up to The Nightmare? (500) - Jensen

Who is Duke and Snake's partner? (500) - Little Mac

What is the final score of the iron man match? (1000) - 10-9, Illidan wins.
Whelp, time to count up my winnings and see how I did.

I started with 5760 dosh and put it all down on various bets. And from the matches that night:

Kanji, Toejam & Earl (New School)Vs. Snake, Duke and ??? (Old School)2000 Win
Toad, Zubaz, and Layton vs. Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Zangief2000 Win
Senator Armstrong vs. Illidan Stormrage: 30 Minute Iron Man 50 :salt:
Scorpion vs. Ganondorf 8000 Win
The Dragons (c) vs. The Practice: Co-op Championship 1000 Win
Kefka (c) vs. Groose: Casual Championship 50 :salt:
Guile (c) vs. Dan Hibiki vs. Sabin: VGCW Championship Tables Match 52 :salt:


I got 13152, over half of which came from betting big on Ganondorf (WOO!).

As for the bonus questions...

Who has been writing the threatening notes? :salt:

Who will be the one to step up to The Nightmare? (500) - Jensen

Who is Duke and Snake's partner? (500) - Little Mac

What is the final score of the iron man match? :salt:

So an extra 1000 Bazza bucks brings me to a grand total of 14152.

See you all next season!
