    But they have done real players before?

    Damn, didn't realize Metallo fails at Pika's hitbox.

    $50 on Sanae vs Blanka was a bad idea.

    The first round of Remilia vs. Robo-ky scared me so bad.

    I think Goten GT vs. Reimi is gonna send me to the salt mines.

    Fuck Fuck Fuck.

    You shouldn't have been. Everyone is on that Tiger Woods technology now.
    Actually, you should be. Uppercut is a beast. Plus, according to one of his victory animations, he's Smells Like A Man Man.

    Megaman vs Rad Mantis (Rhadamantis) was boss.

    Fuck Power Rangers.

    Nomazu vs Wakamoto was insane. Odds were 1:71 for Wakamoto and Nomazu finished him off while he had less health than Wakamoto, the smallest possible sliver of life.

    Iori vs Hotaru was off the hook. Also I lost over 200 saltybucks.

    Wow, he is... strong.

    That Death Star slam.

    I bet on Robert because he looks like Rym.

    Also, chat isn't working for me. Might be adblocked?

    At the top, there is a chat selection: "Stream, Salty, Off." Only stream works.

    I've seen Robert before, he's one of those characters who is terrible but has AI that is decent enough to manage upsets surprisingly often.

    Robert simply outplayed Marvel Spider-man there, and he made me $2168 from my $300 bet.

    $11778, back over $10K again!

    Yeah, I've noticed that too. It's weird.

    Yeah, I'm on stream. Just have that wiggly icon in the upper left.

    Figured it out: it was flashblocked.

    Cyborg Superman's HP is pretty damn legit; it took two Mike Tyson uppercuts to kill him. Too bad that HP is his main strength, because Mike Tyson gives no fucks.

    Did you really bet on Cyborg Superman?


    Also, I just lost $3000 betting on Orchid against Krizalis, so I'm back down to $9396.

    No, I've been in the salts for a while.

    Good thing about salt mines is you can bet on the underdog without reservation because if you're at rock bottom you can't lose money.

    I just wish I realized this when Robert was up.

    Pretty much, although sometimes you know in advance it's so hopeless that you might as well take the free salty buck.

    It let me bet on Krizalis.

    I lost $300 on * Bison (what was his name again?) against Scream there, but he put up a good fight. Scream is pretty vulnerable for an A-tier character, so I figured it was worth a shot.

    I just won ~$1000 for my $3000 bet on Team Reimisen against P. Chun Li. That was a pretty real match, though.

    Oh snap, I have $1000 on Murasa; I get $2000 if she beats Red Tornado and it's 1-0 already. Good situation right here.

    My heuristics for this are quite poor.
  • PeguPegu
    Have some statistics instead.

    Are you using http://www.hightower-software.com/ss/#/ ?
    EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

    Also, fuck, Red Tornado turned that around pretty hard. Bastard.

    I only had $10 on Murasa.

    Holy Ken is pretty damned holy, though I have $4000 on him to win only $22.

    That juggling power.

    I'd almost rather not use stats, you know? Part of the fun is guessing and then, "OH SHIT CACTUAR OWNED HIM!"
  • PeguPegu
    edited August 2013
    Ok then. Try the heuristic I posted on the first page. I could do an updated one.

    Ultimately, the core idea is to work out which kinds of characters other bettors will tend to overestimate.

    Also, always bet tentacles against female characters.

    Glad my bet didn't go through on that one. I had $50 on Lilith.
