i think we can do this....we have odds for each match....lets take for example india vs sri lanka
india has odds of 1/1 sri lanka has odds of 3/1
my karma is currently 18
assume i bet 2 karma points on india if india wins: my karma goes to 20 if india loses: my karma goes to 16
assume i bet 2 karma points on srilanka if sri lanka wins: my karma goes to 24 if sri lanka loses: my karma goes to 12
what do yall think?

Ya that would be really cool. When do we start? and who decides the odds?

Odds for 14th March matches
Canada vs Kenya Canada 7/2 Kenya 1/6
Australia vs Scotland Australia 1/250 Scotland 25/1
No bets on Australia vs Scotland 1) because Australia's not gonna lose, 2) no one has 250 karma so you really can't increase your karma by betting on them
How it works: If you want to bet on Canada, 7/2 odds means that for every 2 karma points you bet on Canada, you will get 7 karma points if Canada wins and lose 7 if they lose
Odds taken from ladbrokes.com

will end up too confusing for some ,we shd leave it at that i think. btw if we do indeed go ahead with this i think we need to give all playing member 20-3- karma which can be then deducted after the end of the cup.

sam - i think u're a bit confused abt the odds rule.... actually, if the odds are 7/1, then if u put up 1 point and win, then u would win 7 points plus tht 1 point back.....but if u lose, then u only lose tht 1 point.....u dont lose 7 points....thts y ppl always bet on the underdogs...since they dont have much to lose....but have a lot to win....(but they dont realise tht most of the time underdogs lose and hence most of the time ppl lose their money to betting) but in the case of australia, since their odds are 1/250, if u bet 250 points, and aus win, u get yr 250 back and 1 extra point....but if aus lose, then u lose 250 points..!! acc to sams method, u bet on australia and if they win, u win back 250 plus 1 point.....but if u lose, then u lose only 1 point....thts not how it works...
