The RPG Bookie: The RulesThe limitations here are primarily designed to prevent payouts from getting out of control—don't want someone to end up 100pts ahead of everyone else in the space of a session just because they got lucky. Wagers Against the House:- Bets are considered "binding" when recorded; odds are fixed at the time the bet is declared
- One active bet per session; no limit on long-term bets
- Bets are limited to 1CP per bet, or enough to result in a 1CP payout
- Only "unused" CPs may be wagered
- For potential abuse, Wheaton's Law applies
Wagers Between Players:No limits will be placed on wagering between players, except that only "unused" CPs may be wagered. Player bets will be recorded, as for bets against the House, and will be considered binding once recorded. Payouts:Payouts are normal, "unused" CPs in all respects, and can be spent according to whatever Character Improvement (and Impulse buys, if applicable) rules/limits in force. They belong to the player, not the character, and will carry over to new characters if the active character becomes deceased or is permanently replaced. If lost wagers exceed earned CPs at the end of a session, Quirk/Disadvantage must be taken immediately to offset the debt (something "appropriate"). These rules are "probationary," though once the campaign starts, they will be locked down unless everyone is in agreement that they need to change.
