Canceling bets.
This is a thread concerning the ban of someone canceling bets that were around 1%. People getting banned for enforcing the 10% rule. To my knowledge, laithoon got banned for enforcing the 10% rule. I don't see how that was a problem, when he enforced a server rule, to benefit the players so tc does not sink, is ban worthy. If i bet 1million tc, and i get a 1k counter, I would want the host to cancel the bets. Seeing as you can only get 5x what you bet, you would then sink approximately 995000 tc. I don't think that banning the person who preserves this tc from simple falling into the void should be a bannable offense. My point here, allow host to enforce the 10% rule in order to prevent the sink of tc. It's utter bullshit to ban someone for trying to save TC. It's our servers, let us run it the way we want to, without the loss of TC.

Do you even economics? That's not how that works at all. If there's less tc, what's left would have more purchasing power and therefore the prices of items would actually go down. That's called deflation. Probably one of the most simple things in economics.

My mistake, item price will actually go down. Pretty sure TC will be quite more expensive.

So basiclly we can make a new betting system like if you bet and you lose the bet you cant bet for 24 hours or something else. And if you bet and win the bet you dont need to wait 24 hours. But the name still doesnt make sense for that.
Not supported.
That's idiotic. Losing the bet is already a risk, having no counters should not be a risk. That idea of yours is basically stupid.

You guys are looking way too much into shit that really doesn't matter. Betting in itself is a risk, but this whole "there's also a risk of not having any counters" thing is nonsense. If the better loses, they lose their TC regardless of what counters there may have been. If they win, they get their TC plus whatever is their cut from the counters that were placed. The amount countered has no bearing on how much somebody puts at stake - it only affects the potential reward.
Implementing any form of cancel bets does nothing to lower the risks for any individual. What they stand to lose remains entirely the same and is entirely in their control the whole time. The argument of TC being sunk is silly and irrelevant - any TC that's sunk is TC that the better would have lost anyway. They knew what they were doing when they bet and they knew there was the chance that they would lose it and there's absolutely no reason at all for them to give a shit about the fate of that TC beyond the fact that it's not theirs anymore. The canceling bets because there's "not a proper counter" is a massive cop-out and is beyond stupid. Don't bet shit you're not willing to lose.

Even if it's not their TC anymore, the other individual who placed a bet would receive the TC. Therefore, leading to more bets. The person who lost the bet will have the chance to get it back if the other person bets again. If the whole TC sunk, and the winner only gets 5k from a million TC bet, there will be no way to win it back. I am willing to lose if i place a bet, only if the other person gets it. It's stupid when a whole lot of TC flow into a bottomless void.
