As many of you know we're hosting an official league tournament! The draft recently ended and I know everyone involved is hyped but I want to try to involve other users as well:

http://perfectpokemon.com/threads/official-pbl-perfect-battlers-league.14320/

There are 16 teams and each week for 15 weeks there will be 8 games then post season involves Semi Finals and Finals

Would anyone be interested in being able to bet on matches similar to a real sports league?

You'd place a PC bet and get a return at odds if you won, there would be some math, Just an idea I had last night, I want to see if anyone is intereted before I put it inot affect though so leave your thoughts below!

I assume the odds would be based on the current W/L of the team, so would it start at 2/1 for all teams? At that point, I'm not sure how the math would work - we'd have to look into it.

Either way, good idea, I like it :)

Something like that, zak and I discussed the math last night

I did then he did yeah, we understand the issues

The odds would probably be based on bets so if 5 bet on me for 100 and 1 bet on 192 for 100 then if I won each of the five gets 20 if 192 won he'd get 500 because the odds are 5:1 in my favor for example

Although the initial math could be potentially iffy this sounds like a great idea. Would people involved be able to bet on matches they aren't playing?

I don't see why not, the math isn't too difficult see my above post for a light example

It sounds pretty legit, it'd be good for people who aren't necessarily into competitive battling or people who want to join a tourney and want PC
