The website will get a big focus on many games finally but starting with quake. When I release this I will post it here. Also the system will get a beta to see if everything works. Its just a service for the people that want this nothing more. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-458 Sun, 18 Jan 2009 17:34:01 +0000 Malice 458@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>But quake live is about gaming, not gambling... :p </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-450 Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:51:19 +0000 xkillerz 450@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>The forums are not really active on of the beta. So I just gonna make a external service in the future very simple system. With small budget if you guys like. I will report any process here. But don't expect it any time quick the game is in beta so maybe in a few mouths I will create something. What ID thinks thats their deal. I hope it convince them to create something like that into the quake live system. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-415 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:14:55 +0000 xkillerz 415@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>Played quake live it was pretty fun but the idea mixing such things into quake live would really by fun but I take a look if I can send ID a suggestion. Further if they don't like to then I just need to use external services if I really want it. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-409 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:37:05 +0000 xkillerz 409@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>Sorry website doesn't work(now works) well tournament.com were dm matches like 15 min and then you could win 5$ as 1st but there are endless off possible things possible. Also tdm that everyone wins the same amount. I'm more a home gamer. Doesn't go on lan trips or I must get a sponsor then its a other story but not really quick thats why I like this kind off tournaments or matches. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-406 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:56:56 +0000 Malice 406@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>The main flaw with betting on organized games is that the stakes can't ever be very high. Average games have hardly anything at stake, and a small online duel cup often just has a 100-200$ prize.</p> <p>Real gamblers often wager way more than that. Once wagers exceed the actual winnings of the game itself, gamblers will just start bribing the gamers and lose on purpose. </p> <p>A play money betting system however does exist, even for quake, at esreality.com. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-405 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:49:43 +0000 xkillerz 405@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>Well myself I don't mind to put up the external service myself. But the tournament.com thing that was the thing that could change online gaming. But it stopped very sad waited mouths for something new then kwari appeared. But when I wanted to play it was also down. But this got a future also as a free game of course many tournaments will by made. But also for cash gaming this could have a future but its just how ID thinks about it. But any suggestions are welcome to.</p> <p>But before I contact ID or anything. I will first think up the plan very well and most have played the beta first still waiting for a invite in the topic but I expect I get 1 soon. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-404 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:41:35 +0000 Malice 404@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>I don't mind some degenerate gambling from time to time (pokers! :] )</p> <p>but I can see many reasons why id software would be against such an idea...</p> <p>some external service could definitely arrange this though. Never really heard of a betting culture in the esports area though. Theres just too little at stake to not bribe the players, lol :p </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-403 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:34:07 +0000 xkillerz 403@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>For real money. the fun money was that you won many free games and then you could use the fun money into a paid match. But thats not a must. I just explain how the tournament.com system was. What I like to see is the real money system thing integrated into quake live you got a large off free servers were people can play how its now. But also servers were you can put some off your money in it fully integrated. And try to win like the plan above.</p> <p>This game is perfect for such things so thats why I'm hoping that this plan can reach ID and that they do something with it. But first I like to discuss it here. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-400 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:04:44 +0000 Lashknife 400@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>for real money or &quot;fun&quot; money? </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-398 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:49:00 +0000 Loekino 398@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>you can just arrange this next to quakelive tbh, need to trust your opponent then tho <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" /> </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-397 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:12:15 +0000 xkillerz 397@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>I don't see any edit button at this moment. But what also would by a cool play style like 1 kill 90$ cents and 1 death 1.00$ lost also tournament.com wanted to put that in but after it closed. But still I just want to enlarge the idea here for ID. </p> http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/topic/quake-live-and-betting#post-396 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:06:21 +0000 xkillerz 396@http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/ <p>Long ago you had the website tournament.com with hl 2 dm and css. 10 players go into a match and put in 1$ each for example and then the first 3 wins cash. Also other game modes with other ways to win cash but also free games with bonus cash. I used to play that website for a few mouths it was really fun didn't became rich from it but a fun extra. But what i'm meaning with this post now. Could quake live also go that way? </p> <p>If you wanna know what tournament.com is search youtube and you will find movies about it. I'm also on it search xkillerz. <img src="http://www.holysh1t.net/forum/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" /> Tournament.com is no more it closed down because off to less players.</p> <p>But back on topic if they didn't discussed something like this yet then I like to suggest it to ID. </p>
