Meurglys III has been a successful reigning champion for quite a while now, but War looks like he may be too much for the drunken poet. After the opening ceremony (with both of the cliches we've come to expect from these two combatants), War sets off with his battle axe, but easily misses. Meurglys III spits gin in his face and just pummels him with the White Hammer. War gets a quick hit in but does little against his foe's chain mail armor. Meurglys III strikes again, but his White Hammer meets War's kite shield instead of the fighter's body. War hits three times but seems to be weak- nothing he dishes out appears to be fazing Meurglys III, who hits four equally superficial blows. War grazes his opponent. There's lots of action but little dying. Things look all tied up at this point. After quite some time, War breaks the silence of the battle with an amazing hit. Meurglys III appears ready to throw in the towel. But no- he dishes out his own punishment, smashing War in the face. Enraged, War strikes again, all but crippling the reigning champion. Weary and eager to please the crowd, War slices directly through the skull of Meurglys III, who stands upright for several moments before his legs collapse underneath him.

Neat. I should've bet more on that one.

Ouch.
I wanted Meurglys III to win, despite my bet for War.
Woo, so... 2/1 and I put 5 gold on... what do I get in return (I'm useless at fractions)?

I see how it is Rob, let him roll all his natural 20s against me then let him die to someone else. Thanks a lot.

| If War had Myriad's stats, he would have lost.

5 on War.
Bearing in mind I have 18 gold... don't forget to update. Oh and 2 wins too.

| It's okay. Edits are time stamped, so I can see that the edit was made before I posted results. That's not a biggie anymore.

| You bet on the 1, so you got 5 gold (exactly what you wagered).

I thought I bet on the 2? I'm confused. So I get my 5 gold back but not an additional 5? Maths is not my strong point.

| The odds were 1/2 (War vs M3)...War was the favored gladiator there. So War = 1 and M3 = 2. If your man wins, you simply multiply your bid by that number, and that is how much you win.
You get your bid back as well. So you put up five and get five in return (you made a 100% return).

| I never "take" anything from bidders unless they lose. So if you had 10 gold, and bid 5 and won, you will have 15. If you had 10 gold and bid 5 and lost, then you would have 5.

Sorted.
Therefore, I'll put 3 on Mei next round.
