    Mmhmm! We're still working out how to run this, but we'll be adding the entrants as they enter. Most will enter the first or second day I predict. The later one places their bet, the lower the payout.

    Can we bet on more than one competitor? And also, what kind of ratios are we looking at?
    Warning you, I'm a pro at food club ;D

    Lightning,
    So in terms of there being no entrants yet, it makes sense since you can only create an account once the competition starts.

    Chillin, you can join any time you want from the 1st of February until the end of February. Of course, if you join later in the month you'll have less time to earn np!

    1st of february is my birthday, I collect LEVs, GOWs, SoS, MSPP (TCGs), and other items, legit or not.
    I'll appreciate if you'll send them to the account I'll be entering into this competition so I can win :)

    Lol, I might join

    well since chilly isn't running this in not too sure about payouts but generally the later you place your bets the lower the ratio. specifics will be here on feb first.

    That's generally because more information is available later on, and you can see how others bet. This applies here, too... if you bet on the person winning by 12mil on Feb 25th, it's a pretty good bet O.O
    I suppose there will be a betting deadline?

    Do different users get different odds or is everyone the same?

    and how would betting make profit. lets say 30 ppl bet x to win, and some put in alot of money and some put no money. the people who put in a lot will get less then they put in, cause u gotta split the profits

    Everlast, it's not a pool of money. You bet using forum cash. Any mod has the power to give or take away limitless amount of points. Therefore, if you bet 100 forum cash a mod can take it away or reward you depending on the odds.
