The Betting Book
How It Works
Characters (not players!) may place bets on a number of different events here in the betting book by lodging their bets with the NPC Lysandis.
All bets will be recorded here, in the betting book.
Current events on which bets can be placed will appear below, along with the odds for each of them.
Minimum bets will occasionally be posted.
Losing a bet will cost you the marks you put on it, but winning one will return them, plus pay you back the amount you bet times the odds against you!
For example:
Betting on the contents of a small dragon egg, D'skel lodges a bet of 5 marks on it being a green. Because of the size of the egg, the odds are 1:1, meaning that if he's right, he'll get back his five marks, plus the payout of five marks. At the same time, Yeorden, an experienced gambler, also lodges a bet on the same egg - but he bets on it being a bronze! Because of the size of the egg, the odds of it being a bronze are 10:1, and Yeorden is quite sure he's right, so he bets a full 20 marks! When the hatching rolls around, the egg cracks open, and sure enough, a bronze emerges. D'skel loses his 5 marks, and Yeorden goes home happy with 200 marks in his pocket (in addition to his original 20-mark bet).
