Suggestion: Double scoops for winning Double Down | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Make it give not only double money, but double scoops as well (a whole antifreeze scoop instead of half). This would force players to utilize currently useless feature. |

It’s not useless. Also double scoops doesn’t help when there’s still a 10 scoops limit. |

It gets your gambling done faster, and with less chance of loss. |

I don’t think it’s useless at all. I double-down all the time. You just have to know when to do it.
If you get dealt a 10 or 11, doubling down when the computer has 6 or under is 2/3 of the time an extra 10k.
That’d be like saying making the 25,000 bet give 2.5 scoops just cuz no one uses it. |

Well, that’s bull****.
In fact, the possibility of you getting 10 PLUS getting more than 6 is much lower than the possibility of Bot getting anything above. I could have try to calculate it, but I’m not that good in combinatorial analysis.
In a nutshell, the idea is such. You start with 2 cards. If you have 10 of 11, it means not 10-K or Ace but rather two minor cards, 6+5, 8+3 or such. This means, that Bot has even more possibility of getting 10 than average.
Yes, no one would try DD with other hand than 10-11 (in fact, I do it with 11 only). My point is that possibility of winning DD is lower than 50%, which makes it a waste of time dom-wise (we botth hate a daily gambling routine – so why make it even longer?). |

I think it would be cool to just give an automatic scoop for hitting 21. |

Why does that matter? I’m not sure if that’s accurate, too, although sleep deprivation currently prevents me from checking. zagerblag edited this message on 03/12/2009 1:04PM |

Why not? That sounds good to me.
EDIT: Never mind; I didn’t realize that’s twice the usual rate. Still, I think Double Down should double all the rewards, not just the Flezz. zagerblag edited this message on 03/12/2009 3:17PM |

I’m in agreement with Zagerblag, the double down should count as a separate bet from the initial one. The whole point of antifreeze scoops is that you’re performing actions which have a detrimental outcome, most commonly betting 10 or 25k on blackjack. If one appropriately sized bet is sufficient for half a scoop, then making that same bet again should also be sufficient for another half a scoop.
On the subject of 10k vs 25k bets, the 25k should reward whole scoops. My thinking is similar to above, if 10k is sufficient for half a scoop, then 20k should be sufficient for a whole scoop where the extra 5k is a convenience tax for making the gamble-bot routine half as long.

This. Thanks for telling it in more understandable way. The whole point is to make gambling routing faster. Of course, this becomes unneeded if Mobsters backroom Wheel of Fortune becomes implemented.
Also, Inetria, stop copying me.

Also, I want to play Big 2 with gamblebot, or better, against other players. Yes please make something like MMG in KoL, but more fun. |

Alternatively, keep everything current the same, and introduce a 50k bet that will grant two whole scoops but with half the chance of winning, or double the difficulty if you prefer.

You should get a peen for doubling down on a 20 and winning, would be a handy flezz sink. |

How about an epeen for winning 100 double downs at 25k? |

gamblebot is ****ing useless and stupid because flezz has become mostly worthless at the levels that you can wager.
CZ should let you type in whatever amount you want imo. |
