Proposal: Giving the Slip

Timed out 4-0 with 1 DEF. Enacted by JonathanDark

Adminned at 25 Sep 2023 13:07:45 UTC

Remove the paragraph beginning “Whenever a Punter places a Bet with Stakes 10 or greater, they must” from the rule “Odds”.

Remove “Whenever a Punter places a Bet they must update Odds as described in the rule Odds.” from the rule “Betting”.

In “Betting”, replace “At any time, a Punter may place a Bet on any Sporting Event that they have not previously placed a Bet on. Bets placed are publicly tracked and must have the following elements:” with:-

At any time, a Punter may place a Bet on any Sporting Event that they have not previously placed a Bet on by privately announcing this to the Bookie. Bets placed are privately tracked by the Bookie and must have the following elements:

In “Sports Resolution”, after “and summarising all random choices that were made as part of determining those events’ results (excluding Meddlings).”, add:-

It should also state how many Readies each Punter won (if any) from each of those Events.

Given that we’re already in the zone of players trying to place bets in the very final few seconds of a days-long time period, maybe the casting of bets should just be private, but outcomes still public.

So this removes variable odds, leaving odds stuck in an 11:10 position forever - is that just a for-now step, or is there an intention to follow up on it?

Some intention to follow up - it does seem like Odds could just be calculated directly from the Track Record, now.

Sure.

Worth considering what this does to extant bets at the time this enacts - I guess they all snap to 11:10 odds.

Existing bets should keep their odds; this proposal simply hides the information that’s public when it enacts.
