You have 100 Gold to spread across bets however you want. Thread will be locked/closed in one week from today (unless the details happen to be revealed earlier). You can adjust your bets until the lock (although if they reveal the details before I get a chance to lock the thread, any bets changed after the information is made official are invalid). I made adjust the odds/add/remove voting options before the lock as well.

Odds will look like this:

0.) Sky5 for the NES - 1,000:1

You bet like this:

0.) 10 Gold.

Try and make your betting as clean as possible to make it easier to tally up the scores when things are revealed.
If you have something you'd like to bet on, let me know - I *may* add odds for it to the OP. Good idea - "Will Figure X get a repose?" Bad idea - "Will it suck?"
I may try and work out a prize for the overall winner. No promises though.

1.) Sky 5 for the PS4 - 1:1
2.) Sky 5 for the XBox One - 1:1
3.) Sky 5 for the Wii U - 1:1
4.) Sky 5 for the 3DS - 1:1
4a.) No Sky 5 for 3DS/New 3DS - 10:1
5.) Sky 5 for the PS3 - 2:1
6.) Sky 5 for the XBox 360 - 2:1
7.) Sky 5 for Tablets - 3:1
8.) Sky 5 for the Wii - 5:1
9.) Sky 5 as a New 3DS exclusive - 10:1

Based off of some of the feedback from this thread and PM, I changed/added a few options. Keep 'em coming!

If you've already bet, please feel free to go back to your post and edit it to reflect any changes you'd like to make. :D

9)- 50 gold
41)- 10 gold

also, one betting thing that should be added- will there be lightcores in sky5?

Done.

11.)5
12.)20
22.)5
25.)10
63.)15
41.)45

25.) 10

41.) 90

Also, I think there should be four more voting options:

62.) Sky5 not for the 3DS

63.) 10-15 more reposes

64.) 5-9 more reposes

65.) 1-4 more reposes

Do you REALLY think Sky 5 won't be on 3DS? What makes you think that?

It's possible. We *could* see a New 3DS-only version. And it seems like Activision really did a hack job on Trap Team for the 3DS - No Trap support. Including Barkley in the starter. I don't even get what the deal with the portals across regions was. Dropping n-Space from developing it after they did a great job with Giants and SWAP Force (that save-deleting bug in Giants aside). TT3DS just seemed like a half-hearted effort - so if there's no 3DS SKU for Sky 5, I wouldn't be completely shocked. It still seems to sell fairly well though.

Going to close this thread Monday night. If you want in, now is the time to do it. :D

Well, you'd make some gold with that bet if it comes true. ;)

No, Eon's Elite (or something similar) nor LightCores would count as re-poses for the purpose of this thread, since they're already covered with #25/26.

4a) 100

its a very safe bet that there will be under 10 reposes, i dont see how thats a 10:1
even trap team only had 5, and it has been going down every game.

I dunno. I'm thinking that we *didn't* get a bunch of re-poses in the last game means we're due for them. Could be wrong.

I actually used last game's repose model as a reason that my bet of 1-9 reposes were safe. Prob famous last words. I played my reposes for about 10 min each. One decision area I was actually very happy with.

I'm curious. What percentage of the fake monies being wagered does the house take home?

Everything that is lost. ;)

DO NOT GO BACK AND EDIT YOUR POSTS. Any posts edited after today are no longer valid.

Doing some calculations now, although there's a few things we don't have all the answers for yet.

Stuff in BOLD has came true. Stuff in ITALICS has shown to be false. Everything else is still unclear.
