So let me get this right, I put 100 to win on Cloud 9, they won, I only get 100 ESC back which is what I put in?? What's the point in that, I win I get my ESC back and nothing more, I lose and I lose the 100? Whats the point then of betting when no one else has placed any bets?
If no one else is there to bet against who do you have to win or lose money too? The dev is not going to take your money.
Yes there is no point of betting if no one else is betting. That's why we need more people doing it.
