Salty Bet

[Razeluxe]

Salty Bet - In Salt We Trust (http://www.saltybet.com/)

A stream of Mugen. Watch Goku fight Link or Sephiroth fight Mike Tyson while making bets using fake money!

(as said, it's not real money. also the fighters are controlled by the computer. Some wreck face and others couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag)

[Slime Slayer]

That's really cool, I'll probably get salty later on tonight.

[DrunkN]

I propose we make use of an RU chatroom while we play Salty Bet. In a big group it'd be pretty fun.

[Razeluxe]

made $3000 earlier. lost it in the match after. just another day.
ALSO!
you have a "bailout" amount of money. that is, an amount that you can't go below. it will rise (very slightly) the more bets you make. at that point, making money through regular betting is near impossible, so you must rely on betting on the underdog to get yourself out of the hole. so be careful. or don't. It's simulated gambling after all!

[Slime Slayer]

Agreed, I'll be in chat later tonight.

[DrunkN]

I had a lot of fun last night. Let's do it again sometime!

[Slime Slayer]

There certainly was a lot of salt.

[joz]

Seems like fun

[Slime Slayer]

The match ups really need work, 9 outta 10 times the odds are like 400-1, despite all that it's still fun.

[Seahawk]

Every Thursday they have the Shaker Classic tourney, which has more balanced non-random matchups.

[joz]

Ronald McDonald is insane!

[Seahawk]

Ronald is awesome. It's AI will throw matches just for kicks.

[Dudebro]

Ronalds moves aren't new right? It looks familiar but it's been a while and they go by so quick.

[Razeluxe]

a couple of his things are from Dio, I believe

[DrunkN]

We're all doing salty tonight?

[Slime Slayer]

I may be joining in late, maybe 1 am Atlantic time.

[yoshi_star10]

We use RU's chat room. There's a link to it at the top of the page.

Tonight was absolutely crazy. Dark Ronald and Rare Akuma tag teamed by the end of it.

10/10

[CrispyChicken]

I'll try and make it tomorrow if you guys do it again.

[Seahawk]

Shaker Classic was awesome. I made bank off of Puzzle Fighter Felicia.

Dark Ronald vs. Final Sula was the best post tourney exhibition. Everyone should come to Shaker Classic Thursdays.

Typical match on chat

http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3058&stc=1&d=1378667716

[Kugyince]

I don't understand the appeal. I watched a few matches and all it seemed like was fake betting on random AIs.

Is there something I'm missing?

[Slime Slayer]

I don't understand the appeal. I watched a few matches and all it seemed like was fake betting on random AIs.

Is there something I'm missing?

Not really.

The appeal for me is just seeing what character comes up next, getting mildly entertained on a winning bet, and getting salty when you loose. Of course getting salty with others in chat is important, I would not play on my own, similar idea to bad movie fridays I suppose.

[Kugyince]

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Just not for me then.

[Seahawk]

http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3059&stc=1&d=1378699380

Always bet on waifu.

[yoshi_star10]

That's why whenever I know someone will win and the pots huge I only bet a dollar. Since I usually don't have a lot and all I'll ever get is a dollar, and if I lose, well its only a dollar...

[KATZ]

i always think this...

I got you a dollar - YouTube

[Slime Slayer]

Just packed a fresh case of salty tears in the frigde, so I'll be playing tonight, if anyone wants to play.

[joz]

pour some salt on my wound. Steven's and Seahawk are doing things to each other for salty bucks

[Slime Slayer]

That did not happen... there was discussion.. then we realized neither of us had any salty bucks to negotiate with.

[Seahawk]

Jokes on you, I'm sitting on mounds of cash after everyone fell for fake Onslaught last night.

[Slime Slayer]

I was up to 495 or something and got over excited and went all in on that stupid joke match that was 3 instant kills in like 3 seconds. Lost everything, never been so salty in my life.

It was a close match though wasn't it?

[Dudebro]

I tried this the other night. I won once and then lost it all. I refuse to bet on lolis and they always win. Also I was pretty salty about Zidane(the soccer player) getting steamrolled when I bet on him. He didn't even try to defend.

[DrunkN]

I refuse to bet on lolis

Protip:
Just cuz' you bet on them doesn't mean you have to like them.

[Razeluxe]

had 2500. lost it all because the dude wouldn't block. so close too, just if only. sigh.

Well he is an attacking forward instead of a defensive player.

I don't bet on them because to me none of them should be able to win. I vote for realism. I vote for sanity.

P.S. Ignore that first part of the picture I just wanted it for the cat.

We're going! Shaker 10!
Bracket (http://www.saltybet.com/)

[Seahawk]

Highlights from last night:

- Petshop vs. Goku: Grudge rematch. On Shaker 9 (http://challonge.com/SBSC9) Petshop led a commanding upset during the entire tourney to destroy everyone in his path, including REALEST GOKU. This week, Goku gets revenge by utterly wiping the floor with Petshop.

- Mouri ascends: Mouri from Guilty Gear is pretty much confirmed as the king of the normal character pool, returning from his championship win in Shaker 8 to trample Boss Zeroko (AGAIN), edging out Silver Samurai in a super hype 5-4 final battle to the death to claim the Shaker 10 championship. Kneel.

- Broken tier salt: Dark Donald is confirmed as the god of all things MUGEN broken tier. He was set loose again broken tier characters with insta kill attacks and characters submitted for the sole purpose of defeating him, destroying them all and leaving the creator VERY salty by the end of the night. Kneel before your god.

sorry I didn't make it. got busy pretty soon after.

[Slime Slayer]

We salted hard last night. I won big, and lost it all and went back to the mines like 6 times.

[Seahawk]

We went at it for 4+ hours, I don't even remember if I came out with more money in the end or not. The three way salt fest was tons of fun.

[Dudebro]

So what does "back to the mines" actually mean?

[Razeluxe]

So what does "back to the mines" actually mean?
running out of money.

[DrunkN]

So what does "back to the mines" actually mean?

running out of money.

Trying to get back to a sizable amount of money when you have none is a pretty slow and tough process, as well.

[joz]

So what does "back to the mines" actually mean?
you busted broke and are now at the minimal amount of salty bucks. aka the salt mines. grab your pick and mine for more salty bucks

[Dudebro]

Oh then I went to the mines the first time I tried, figures.

[KATZ]

[KATZ]

i really don't see whats the point of that site it's not like you can win anything if you bet correctly

[DrunkN]

It's just a game; think of the money as a type of score.

[KATZ]

just as DN said, its like a score, would you still play mario because you dont save a real princess? Hell pacman must really suck since you dont get real hits of lsd from playing it....
