Broad Street Casino

[xx - The Broad Street Bullies]

Welcome one and all to the Broad Street Casino!

Now you all may be wondering, what on earth is this?

Well allow me to explain. After Rocketmen backed Rattlesnakes on his point bet vs Bulldozers, I had the idea to make it more of a regular thing.

So each ManMMA event, I'll be offering odds on a few fights. Usually, it'll be a simple double or nothing, with yours truly acting as the house. Occasionally, I may offer odds on a special condition, such as the fight ending in Round 4, or by KO.

Ex: Fighter A vs Fighter B
Team A bets 1 point on Fighter A
Team B bets 2 points on Fighter B
Fighter A wins
Team A gets 2 points in total, the one they put in plus the one I provide for winning.
Team B gets 0 points in total, and they lose the points they put in.

So what do you guys think? If you've got any concerns, feel free to post them below. If the ManMMA Gaming Commision (The Sandmen) has an issue with this, just let me know and I'll shut this down.

If you guys like the idea, feel free to make bets on the following fight (We're keeping it to 1 fight as a test run). Please keep your bets to 4 Points or less currently:

ManMMA 336:

Cain Velasquez (51-32) vs. Alistair Overeem (66-35, 1)

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

1 point on Cain.

[The Rocketmen]

K, so you're the bank and if guys win their bet, they get the point from you, but if they lose, the points that person bet go to you, correct?

Are people able to bid up to a max point mark so that you don't lose all your points on the first try? lol

I am not good at reading.

[The Sandmen]

I'M WORSE (on skype at least) SO WHAT IS YOUR DAMNED EXCUSE, YOU EXCUSE-MARTIAN!!!

[The Sandmen]

2 points on Overeem

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

I don't think Bullies should get points from the losing team... I think the losing team should give their points to the winning team, and distribute the points equally.

That's not how Casino's work...

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

If you and I both bet on Cain, Bullies would have lost 3 points. And been down 3 points. And have gained none.

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

True

[The Rocketmen]

I think the Casino is a great idea, and I don't have a problem with it, BUT I need for him to basically do the math for me after each show (which could be delayed because of his activity) so I can process it without having to scroll through pages and pages of potential bets.

That siad, I'm down with this and plan on betting next time!

[Ferocity]

Very cool

I can get some basic math done after each event, and I'm here often enough that it shouldn't take too long.

ManMMA 337:

Brock Lesnar (66-31) vs. Cain Velasquez (52-32)

Georges St-Pierre (80-33-1) vs. Rich Franklin (49-35)

Again, please keep your bets to 4 points or less.
