Added a simple yet well needed feature which is a bets counter on a match page: https://saloon.tf/match/313/
Additionaly I've decided to check SteamRep before letting user bet after a suggestion made by Nick :)

Getting closer to the match the odds evened out and are 48-52 now :)
I recommend anyone not sure who to bet on yet to watch ETF2L's talk show where they'll be talking about the upcoming season, roster changes and all the stuff starting in 6 minutes: http://www.twitch.tv/blackoutgamingtv

Why are the payouts on this site so low?

Betting a value of 7.33 on a 43% underdog only has a potential payout of 4.18, which is a very paltry sum for betting on the team with worse odds.

For comparison, betting roughly the same value on an underdog with the exact same odds on CSGOLounge would yield a payout of 9.58, which is more than double what would be won from the same bet on Saloon.

It's a bug which doesn't affect how items are distributed, it should never be lower than what you bet since it includes that (actually it should be close to 17)
I'm gonna push an update for it right now. Thanks for pointing that out!

Also it might be better to put the word 'refined' or 'refined metal' after the number so nobody gets confused/mislead.

As some of you may have noticed nobody won Scissor's earbud because it was simply worth too much and some people got nothing. Worry do not though as you still have a chance to get it here: https://scrap.tf/raffles/81A6X6 :D
I will continue to work on distributing items!

Is there a way to see the value of the items that you won(in terms of refined)? Currently you can only see "new" under each item won but that's something that should definitely be implemented if it's not yet.

Changed match status to unverified because of some bug I'll deal with later today. All bets statuses will be restored and items will be distributed the same way.

Hey, restored normal functionality. It took so long, because I lost my bag and home keys with it, hope you didn't mind waiting much :(

Are you going to allow any more bets on the bK/[R] game?

If I make distributing items more fair then sure :)

hey Cherry,

i won a bet on the Highpander vs TOurettes Chessclub game but when i try and click Payout it doesnt do anything. is it broken atm?

EDIT: turns out im incompetent and i should have made space in my backpack >.>

More specific error messages are on my roadmap ;)

Hey, I made items distribution more fair! It will be first used after a tommorow's game :D

Added 2 EU HL games with limit of 500 bets each and increased a limit on Knutsson vs. Reason to 200 so few more people can bet.
Waiting for some more even games in UGC's playoffs, meanwhile I've added asiafortress guy to find out if they do any streams.

Is the EU prem grand final going to be added once the 2nd team is determined? Even if there's very little time beforehand to bet it still would be nice to hype it up.

If everything goes quickly without GCs I'll probably do it :)

This looks awesome

any plans for ESEA LAN?

Said ESEA LAN is a top priority and more than likely will be covered

Added some top ozzie game, yet to be scheduled :)

Actually going to have to pay attention to highlander with all these games taking bets.

Omg this is actually getting so fkin cool, I love u Cherry. The progress (albeit slow) has been amazing, and these will for sure skyrocket viewership numbers (at least I hope so)

Are you talking about NA UGC HL playoffs or elsewhere? If not I think you should look into putting some of those up for bets, as they are starting soon.

It's really cool that we're starting to see the betting in action for TF2, well done.

i just placed a bet on suave and it says i bet on ze knuttson...

match went live the second after my bet so i can't even switch it... rip

CHERRY pls D: match isn't live yet my hats noooooooooooooooo

Otoh think of the 5:1 return if there's an upset.

I'll switch it no matter the score

You're the best
