Chapter 35: rules of bets

" let me explain the rules for those who are not already aware " wayne spoke out loud before he started to explain and from this explanation max learned exactly what bets was.

The premise of bets was big risks and big rewards, it was betting on fate and your own luck

how it worked was that there were those betting and the players, but in reality everyone was betting just in different ways

the people betting were using treasures, money and their wealth or sometimes specific conditions to make this bets however the players were betting with themselves, if they lost a round they have to listen to one reasonable command of the winner, the command could not tell them to do anything sexual or anything that would put their lives endanger.

however if the round winner did not have any commands for them it would be write down as a favor owned to be repaired at a later day, for example if max one a round of bets and had no commands for anyone everyone who played that round would now own him a favor and if one day the people who owned him this favor had his life in their hands for whatever reason, max could redeem that favor then and they would have to own up to it and let him go and could not kill him.

or if they caught him doing something illegal, max could redeem that favor then and they would have to own up to the favor by not reporting him

bets were under the watch of the goddess of the bets and if anyone did not recognize their favor and refuse to admit it bad luck would fall upon them, depending on how bad their luck was they might even die unexpectedly

the goddess of the bets was not a real goddess or even a person but a concept from human imagination, however over time as more and more people believed in the concept of the goddess of the bets their belief manifested and formed the concept of bets and the goddess of the bets, like how many things that appeared after the spark and even abilities were partly a result of human imagination and wishes

the same thing happened, a large number of humans believed in her and wished for her and over time she was formed into being as a concept that watched over all and every bets from then on

however if you won a round you would get to have a command or a favor from the users and would also get 20% of what ever was put in by the people betting on that round.

as for the people betting they could bet on a round or the game, betting on a round meant that after the playmaker sets up the rounds and the players decided on want round they what to play in the people betting

if betting on a round would choose on who they think is gonna win without even knowing what game the round was on.

the game was what the players would compete in and by betting on a round you bet that a certain player is gonna win before the playmaker decides what game they are gonna compete on, this will lead to the person betting gaining a bigger reward as they took a bigger risk by betting without knowing what game the round was based on.

and betting on the game meant that after the players choose to take part in that round and those who betted on rounds already betted

the playmaker would reveal to the players and everyone what game the round was based on, after knowing the game the people betting on the game would choose who of the players they believed would win the game.

so bet worked around the premise that what competion or what game the players were going to play was kept a secret from everyone except the playmaker till just before the round started allowing those who bet on the game to decided which player they want to choose

this also meant that the players would not know what the round they choose to be part of was going to be about, if they are lucky it might be something they are good at if they are not it will be something they are not good at therefore decreasing their chance at winning the round.

overall bets was a risk for all those who took part in it with the players and the people betting.

after signing up for bets the player had to decide if they wanted to take part in that round without knowing what the round was about, even after the playmaker announced the game the player could not back out even if they did not want to play that game, after all it's a bet on their luck and they just happened to be unlucky by choosing the wrong round they could only withdraw by leaving behind a hand.

if you signed up for a bet you would have to choose a round to play in, if you did not you would by default be entered into the last round, if you did not want to play anymore you could only withdraw by leaving behind a hand and if you ran away there would be huntings for you and anyone who chopped off your hand would be rewarded by the overseer.

thats why bets was risky for all those who took part, you either lost your hand, lost your wealth, or owned a flavor or had to follow one command form the winner.

however if your if won, you gained multiple people to command or people who owned you a favor for a later date and got 20 percent of all the bets placed on that round.
