HEROWAGER
When a HEROBATTLE starts you may HEROWAGER You simply pick one of the heroes to win and how much to wager. Wagering is done by laying or taking money odds. To determine the amount that would go to the winning betters, the amount bet on the loser is split between the bettors on the winner, in proportion to their bets. Breakdown: 10% - winning person battling 90% - split between the winners Example: Pamela and Ann are battling Player A bets 1,000,000 on Pamela Player B bets 1,000,000 on Pamela Player C bets 500,000 on Pamela Player D bets 100,000 on Pamela Player E bets 1,000,000 on Ann Player F bets 1,000,000 on Ann There is 2.6mil bet on Pamela and 2mil bet on Ann. Pamela wins the battle, so Players E and F lose their wager since they bet on the losing person battling. Since Pamela won the battle, she would receive 200,000 coins. A gets 1000000/2600000 of the amount left, so: 1000000/2600000 * 2000000 * .9 = 692,307. That is, A bet 1mil, and since a total of 2.6mil was bet on Pamela, 1mil/2.6mil is the percentage of split, multiply that by the amount bet on the loser (2mil) times 90% (or .9) and that is how much Player A will receive from the wager. B made the same bet as A, so he also gets 692,307. C gets 500000/2600000 of the amount left, so: 500000/2600000 * 2000000 * .9 = 346,153 D gets 100000/2600000 of the amount left, so: 100000/2600000 * 2000000 * .9 = 69,230. If you add the amounts paid out, you get 1,999,997, with a bit lost to roundoff. For those who don't want to bother with the math: If you bet 1/4 of the total amount bet on the winner, you get 1/4 of 90% of the amount bet on the loser. Note that this system encourages heroes to fight against heroes of similar difficulty, since if a stronger hero fights a weaker one, they aren't going to make as much money as they would if they fought a hero of similar strength. There are warnings before the battle starts. You can only wager BEFORE it starts! SYNTAX herowager heroname amount See Also: MULTICLASS HEROLIST HEROBATTLE MINDLINK AUTO_HB
