Seriously? Uhh... I wish I had known that beforehand. Of course if I'd known that beforehand I would've waited until the 11th hour to bet. Can I change my bets?

Edit: I hate to be that guy and I don't really need the 10k either so this'll be the last I have to say on it.  But Helston is worth more points that will, deuce, jenk, shantu, and paper combined.  A different scoring system would have completely changed the way a lot of people bet.

Fine. People can change their bets before the first battle is done.

now that bans are known, certain matchups may be even more lopsided. I suggest not changing anything.

Tbh, i don't see it as a problem. You bet on people you see win, even if you're not the only one to think that. I see no real reason to do otherwise.

There's different ways to bet. If it was all about just saying who you think will win then we'd just make forum posts of it. But since there is the ability to objectively win, the knowledge of how you win is vital in determining what you do. Do you go the safe route and pick all the favorites? Or do you underdog it up and come out with the big bucks if you manage to hit it big.

As long as we can determine a winner objectively we should have known how betting would be done.
