War #4 - Betting

[Kuroaitou]

Just for Round 8; I would like to deeply apologized for spamming the War Betting section multiple times (I got the blank screen, freaked out, then resubmitted my vote several times just to make sure I would see something). I didn't realize it processed my bet on the first try despite the blank white window afterwards. ^^;;;

First of all, it's not my fault that all the bets are being displayed after submitted. It is tempting to check what other people have bet for a specific match. There should just be the names of the people that submitted successfully and not the exact bets imo. (If you check, I almost allways bet the last 15-30mins because I want to check what people have bet).
Second (if you want you may believe it...), I had made my mind of what to bet and wasn't sure for 3 mathes (5,8,13). After I saw your submission I decided to bet the same as you, since this was the better strategy to follow.
Third, now if we get this round completely wrong someone else may win also. (and we didn't have good results till now btw)
Also, if you thought it was lame you could pm me and we could discuss it and find a better way (like: we could both pm kevkev instead of submitting the form). no need for this drama here

Yeah... No. I do not want to make kev do more work than he already does and i won't do it.
I never would and i never did something like this, but hey - if it makes you proud... Like i said, enjoy your win, hope it's worth it.

Good suggestion.  Implemented with SG's assistance..  Wish I'd thought of it earlier.

Wow, really, parasite? Really? You gonna do it like this? "I don't want to to be harsh here" parasite, but i didn't expect anything else from a guy that calls himself parasite.
Enjoy your win and i hope the prize is worth it. Hopefully you don't have to win everything in your life the same way.
Sorry to everyone else that i couldn't do this with more class.

What you do is cheating.

And how is that cheating exactly?

It's a legit, albiet annoying tatic-Basically, the person with the highest amount of points bets the same as the second person, locking their relative positions so 2nd place will still lose to him. However, this really just opens the throne up for someone else to make a gain on both of them, which is why it's fair play. You basically are gambling that the person in second has bet correctly, and that no one else will come and take first place outta nowhere.
