Over the weekend I finally got a chance to checkout something my eCulture pals (Ryan) have been raving about for the last couple of weeks. This thing is a website called SaltyBet, and according to its Wikia:

  1. Salty Bet only stops streaming MUGEN matches during real-world fighting game community tournaments. It was at the most prominent of these that the site got its inspiration, as its creator explains.
  2. Roulette requires no skill to Salty Bet Casino play, although it is helpful to learn the best bets to make. Live dealer roulette is the most exciting game to Salty Bet Casino play on online casinos, but Salty Bet Casino bettors can find other roulette games to Salty Bet Casino play online, too.
  3. Salty: Bet on 15000 matches. +$475 Bailout +$950 Bailout: Super Salty: Bet on 25000 matches. +$500 Bailout +$1000 Bailout: Ultra Salty: Bet on 35000 matches. +$525 Bailout +$1050 Bailout: Omega Salty: Bet on 50000 matches. +$550 Bailout +$1100 Bailout.

Saltybet
Salty's Dream Cast Casino or just SaltyBet for short is a website that embeds a Twitch.tv stream usually of live competitive events like the Evolution Championship Series and allows its users to place virtual bets on said events. When there are no notable competitive events running, the stream runs AI M.U.G.E.N matches and allows people to bet on said matches. Salty Bet is purely for entertainment purposes and no real money will be paid out.

Now at first I found myself shaking my head at their fascination. The live matches I could understand, fake betting on your favorite player could only add to the excitement for the kind of audience that's into watching streams of fighting video games (Randy). The thing is, the live matches weren't the aspect that my friends were raving about. Instead, they almost wholly watch SaltyBet for the AI fights.

This sounded ridiculous to me because who the heck actually cares about watching AI players fight each other? How to play andar bahar game. It was only when I realized that the version of M.U.G.E.N., a 2D freeware fighter, that SaltyBet is using for the AI fights has literally thousands of characters, some of which result in hilarious mismatches and cross-IP fights, that I started to understand the appeal. This unpredictability in matchups is a powerful hook when combined with the age old draw of gambling and a comment stream that could be a contender for purest concentration of eCulture to be found outside of 4chan.

Speaking of the comment stream, stick around long enough and you'll learn a few things:

Salty Bet Character Win Rates

  1. ALWAYS USE CAPITALS IN THE CHAT, THIS IS THE INTERNET AND THERE IS NO TIME TO CALM DOWN
  2. ALWAYS BET SWORD
  3. NEVER BET ANIME
  4. ALWAYS BET ROBOT
  5. ALWAYS BET ANDROID
  6. NEVER BET GUN
  7. ALWAYS BET MARVEL
  8. NEVER BET UMBRELLA OR MIRROR
  9. ALWAYS BET DBZ
  10. And, most importantly,

    ALWAYS BET RARE AKUMA

How Much Is Lipsticknick Worth

These guidelines do a great job teaching you the only actual rule of SaltyBet: that, just like in real gambling, no blanket advice is always correct (although always betting on Marvel characters and fighters that have swords did pan out for me, and I think it's pretty universally agreed that Rare Akuma could be the best character).

Indeed, the only real way to get a feel for the odds of a matchup, beyond watching hours and hours of this madness or setting up a program to log fight information into a database, is to donate 3 bucks a month and see the win/loss record of the two AI contenders during the betting stage. This helps you understand the clear favorite in the often one-sided matches, I watched a few matches where one character one shot-KO'd another, but be careful lest you bet too much and find yourself stuck down in the 'Salt Mines' trying to scrape together enough money to bet on the next sure thing.
