While it is true that it is totally pointless to lose more due to a higher bet, it could also be argued that it is unfair to the members who do not participate in the betting. If the PoEs were doubled for the winner there would just be an insane amount of inflation/pure monetary generation from the betting board. Since we aren't really providing or creating anything here it doesn't make sense for this to be a place to make money. It does however make sense for it to be a place to shuffle money around. As such, only one rule makes sense. A fixed bet from 10-100 PoEs. The winner should be the one who decides the value of the next bet (with it defaulting to Tomekk if the winner does not post). Above David said he wanted to limit the bets to one per week. We also need to settle which date we will be betting on. The 10th was a Saturday so...every thursday? Jk... saturday should be fine.

Theoretically, if there was a whole week of betting, people could raise the stakes if they wanted to

By the way, I will match whatever stake for the 17th for an adventure game.
