Haha... You should not consider a job as a Bookie!

The objective of the betting system is that it allows viewers to bet against each other. The house does not issue any new points into circulation.

I looked at the logs from your channel and h are is a summary of what happened.

You opened a betting pool with 2 options.
The following bids were registered.
1. 6109 points on option 2
2. 30 points on option 1
3. 40 points on option 2
4. 200 points on option 2

Betting pool closed.
Total option 1 is 30, while total for option 2 is 6349.

winning option was option 2, hence the payout was 1.0049

All working as intended.

most of the time betting is against the house not against each other that makes this option kind of useless to me lol

Well then wait for the 3 dice craps. That is against the house!

The key thing here is not the number of options but the probability of those options eventually winning.

For example, say a bet was on "Will the mempo roll crit chance"
If Odds were 50/50 for yes and no, everybody would bid No as they have approximately 90% Chance to win.
And those That did bid on  yes and we're lucky enough to win would only walk away with a 1:2 win. 

I doubt I will be able to build the above as that will be exploited and will cause Significant currency inflation in most streams.


Cases where betting against the house does work is when the odds are fixed and the payout is fixed. e.g. Coin toss, 3 dice craps, roulette etc.
These will come to DeepBot in the near future.
