Allow bets to payout according to per-item user-defined odds
« on: December 12, 2014, 10:28:25 PM »
Scenario:

We have betting in our Hearthstone stream according to what rarity of cards will be opened in a card pack. The chance per card of getting a rare is 16%, an epic 3.2% and a legendary 0.8%, therefore for the people who bet on the more risky options, I would like to increase the payout. An extra field per item in the betting system would do the trick so I could enter eg.:

Bet name | Payout ratio
Rare | 5
Epic | 8
Legendary | 20

Such that, say, for every 1 currency unit a viewer bets on epic, if their bet wins, they get 8 currency units back.

The current system is quite ambiguous as to how the bet currency is distributed. I don't want it to depend on how much has been bet in total, just a straightforward odds system as above :)
