SaltyBet's Dream Cast Casino Thread

It was Blob.

Lipsyncher never wins...Unless it's against God Ken!!

Thanks Lipsyncher. God Ken is not God. 10 years in salt mine for me, comrades.

@fluxwavez: You're bet on Johnny Cage v Lipsyncher was amazing fyi.

Cap Marvel da god, get me paaaaaid.

@fluxwavez: Why are you so godlike at this?

OH my god that Leondaro fight. He just flew off and never came back. I haven't laughed that hard at anything in a while. Oh my god. Legit laughing out loud.

Ha, well I'm not as great as I'd want to be. Went from $1.5 million earlier to 900k because of dumb decisions, but I'm climbing back...

I laughed so hard I started crying. "My home planet needs me. Leonardo awaaaaaaaaaay!"

This is truly the greatest sport of our time.

Jean Grey is the worst thing to happen to me...

@tehbull: Yeah, just lost 1/4th of my stack to her. I thought for sure she was going to take a dive. Oh well....

Barney is OP as fuck.....

So I may have just lost all 4.5k that I made today and be back at square one. Easy come easy go I suppose. Still, had Paul won that match I would have won 59k.

Uh, what? What's wrong with you?

@boocreepyfootdoctor: I'll pitch my 2 cents based on these observations

1) I'm gonna disagree a bit here. Since starting to watch this last Saturday, there have been a lot of really good matches that go to round 5. Though with this games randomness, I have seen quite a large string of one sided fight after the other. You are right about some of the characters not doing jack squat, there are quite a few of those. Gimp character vs gimp character fights are something else.

2)This is the case as more and more fights happen and viewers remain watching, as we learn more about who is most likely better. If there is a slew of new people then the odds usually are more balanced, until they learn. Thankfully the guy in charge is constantly adding and taking away from his roster (which is huge), so some upsets can and have happened. Also, never bet on DBZ

3)This goes with #2, the longer the string of the same fights, the more people know what to throw money on. When new characters emerge, or rarely seen match ups happen, the odds get much more even, and quite a few people walk away with a lotta money, and even more go to the mines.

4) Um...well.....I'll say 7/10 are

5) Twitch chat is horrible and one of the worst

6) The engine allows the designer of the character to go as deep as they want, and some do. Though there are a lot of characters that only seem to have 3 moves and 2 frames of animation, there are also a huge amount that actually look like they were made for a good fighting game. Some do have fatalities too, it all depends on what the creator wanted when he/she made the character. The lowest quality characters I've seen are the Naruto and DBZ ones (though there are a few decent ones, very few)

@fluxwavez: I know right, how the hell do you not know their names?

Also what happened to your first place?

ChiChi w000t

best thing on the internet

Chat is so stupid....need a Giantbomb only, casual chat. That twitch stuff is nonsense.

90% of the people watching just seem to shout "MY WAIFU" whenever some random anime girl is up next, so I have no idea why boocreepyfootdoctor thinks that everyone knows them all by heart.

after 2 hours of betting, I'm calling it for the night. God this thing is fun and addicting.

1. Honestly surprised you didn't see one balanced match in 30 to 40 matches. I've seen many a match that go on to 5 rounds, some that are real nail biters. You just got unlucky/didn't see enough.

2. Not true. The odds are even more than you would think, and because of the fighting system/unpredictable nature of the AI upsets happen all the time.

3. See above for why this is wrong. I've jumped from $25 (my minimum cash amount) to over $1000 on 5 round match that was incredible to watch. (Abui Vs. Plastic Man if anyone here saw that)

4. What? This just makes me think you have some sort of axe to grind, because this is a gross exaggeration and not even almost true.

5. Yeah...can't argue much here though. Twitch chat is pretty bad. Sometimes it's worth a chuckle when things get really nonsensical and they add to the craziness, but yeah. It's pretty bad.

6. It's MUGEN. It's the only engine where this is possible. The movesets are as elaborate as the characters are, some are quite impressive. But if that bothers you, oh well.

I can understand why the aggressive stupidity of Salty Bets might not be your cup of tea, but you speak in absolutes that are incorrect.

@boocreepyfootdoctor said:

Sorry about that

Also, girl from an anime doesn't equal molestation hentai girl.

Don't associate my waifus with that smut.

Spong-Bob just took me out of the salt mines. Fuck yes.

Morrigan just made me 3K, love that girl!

Anyone else having trouble with bets not getting registered? Even though it's saved me from some stupid bets, it's kind off annoying that I can't bet sometimes...

And we need Killer Whale vs Lavos!

Messing with this a bit, back up to like 200 bucks after being stupid, now im just betting small unless i know what the hell is going on, this is oddly mesmerizing though.

I LOVE YOU GEESE.

Seems like everyone in the chat just knows whos going to win, sure I could turn the chat off but then it's just a pure guess. Just putting 50 on every match, usually guessing the wrong person. Seems pretty bad

1) I would say 50% are pretty much one sided, 35% are nail biters and the rest are upsets. Maybe it's because of the recent updates/modifications(?) but yesterday I was happy if I could make 3 bucks from a match and not lose all my money. And for the record, up to this point I saw more than 400 matches.

2) Even if you know the characters and their capabilities, that doesn't equal knowing how the match will go, that's where the upsets are coming from. Also, according to Jeff, there are more than 1300 characters.

3) Again, upsets.

4) As someone who has some knowledge when it comes to anime, I can confidently say: not even close to the truth. The "obscure molestation Hentai girls" you were talking about are not that common and most of them has nothing to do with hentai. When you see people in the chat say "Melty blood", they refer to the fighting game Melty Blood which is part of the Type-Moon universe (for example: Sailor Moon, maybe you heard of it.) The "OS-tans" as far as I can tell are original, fan made characters, the little girls who spam magic are from the Touhou franchise. What else... is there any other slightly creepy anime girls?

5) I don't like the chat either. Barely even looking at it. But I find it really funny when people go: I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE

6) If you are looking for a sophisticated fighting game, this isn't the right place I fear. This is a legitimate concern for sure but the simplicity of the engine doesn't takes away the excitement of betting on the matches.

Its dumb fun, if your taking it seriously or are insulted by it your missing the point.

@mrjorowe: The chat is trying to make you bet on the weaker guy. Just because they spam one name doesnt mean it's gonna win

OR...it could win.

I watched two vegeta's duke it out... and vegeta won.

Haven't seen it linked, so here is the fantastic timer scam by Duke from a few days ago. Quality stuff.

http://www.twitch.tv/saltybet/b/439497201?t=44h25m30s

Vertigo is really cheap with that command grab of his. Gets you from half-screen and you're losing most, if not all of your health with what comes next. I've seen some REAL characters fall victim to that shit.

I find the Twitch chat hilarious, usually people say the craziest shit and I love it.

@vamino: That's pretty fantastic.

I'm glad to see that the steam is above 2k almost all of the time now, but that Twitch chat has kind of gone to shit.

That Sman fight was probably the biggest upset I've seen so far.

Angus you magnificent bastard.

There've been a few close fights in a row. I made 7k+ on that Iron Man match

@tajasaurus: I lost 20k on that Iron Man match. Then like a toolbox went all in on that (Sman) fight, and, well. Back to the salt mines!

Duke getting caught in that jacking loop was quite funny.

Cant believe people still bet against krizalid

Series of mistakes, haha. I'm just glad I'm above 1 mil right now.
