So I was watching some streams today and the old question comes up again for me. Since theses dudes are sitting at home and playing one another over "Internet" how the hell does one not think some of theses dudes are "cheating". Sorry been around to long and seen to much for anyone here to convince me otherwise. I would bet my last dollar At LEAST 10% are.
So when I bet just need to figure out which ones are which shouldn't be to hard with a little research.
Peace.
I'm more concerned about fraud (let say player A is my friend and lots of minerals say he will win... what if he tell me, put your minerals on player B, I will lose). So, I think it's ok for small bets, but I think the big prize are big tournaments (players really need to win).
Simple answer, The ladder is random. And even if they got matched against each other, the betting round is already closed. Yes there will be mini-rounds, which is bets during games but people will notice by then. Atm all bets during game goes to the next game. They can run a scam and do a custom match against each other. But after 1 match, the betters should already know what is going on.
