Powerball and How it Works

People from
http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2728748/0/powerball_in_broa.html
are wondering what "powerball" is and how it works.

Powerball is basically a gambling system run by a bot.
Every couple of minutes, a bot opens a store.
In the store, there are 9 items:

Arrow for Bow [Called the "small"]
White Potion [Called the "drew"]
Arrow for Xbow [Called the "big"]
Random Pot 1
Random Pot 2
Random Pot 3
Random Pot 4
Random Pot 5
Random pot 6

The random pots are items from an NPC that I forget the order of.

The "small" represents the numbers 1 & 2.
The "drew" represents the numbers 3 & 4.
The "big" represents the numbers 5 & 6.

The random pots represent their respective number.
(eg. Random Pot 1 represents the number 1)

Each item in the store is priced at 5m, and there is 80 of each item.
When the store is opened, players enter and buy a certain amount of different/same items from the store.
It is up to the player to decide what or how much to buy.
After a minute or so, the store closes.

The bot then rolls a dice (corsair skill).
If the number that he rolls is the same as the items you bought, you will prize money.

Here's how the prize money works:

If you bought either "small", "drew", or "big", then you win 2.5 times the money you spent on that item.
So let's say you bought 10 white potions for 50m. If the bot rolls a 3 or a 4, then the player gets 125m, a 75m profit.

However, let's say someone bought 10 white pots and 10 arrow for bows to increase their chances of winning.
If the bot rolls a 1 or a 2, then they still only get 125m because they bought 10 arrow for bows.
The money they spent on the white pots has gone to waste.

If players buy a single number item (random pots), then the prize money is 5 times what the player spent on that number.

So, buying out the whole store or buying more than 2 types of an item will cause the player to lose money.
(Let's say you buy 1 each of "small", "drew", and "big". That's 15m. The bot will roll, and the player will obviously win money. However, he/she will only receive 12.5m.)

This game runs in CC14 CM13 in Broa.

I am simply stating how the game is played.
I do not recommend getting into it, as most player end up losing big money like myself.

Lol I lost all my money to the bot, you can also get banned for being in the bots casino, and if the bot runs low on money he changes his rates D; (In Bera I bet without knowing the rates were changed to like 2x and 4x or something)

[quote=ZzXxskyxXzZ]So are you saying that a [b]bot[/b] won't have any mesos to begin with?

[quote=bubblecup118]Yes it is. The hacker/botter has to have some mesos on hand in case he loses at the start. Where does he get the mesos from the start?

Oh yes from hacking.[/quote]

[quote=SeveralSTDs]The money isn't generated by hackers, and there is no hacking involved besides the bot itself, the money is generated by the time test truth of "The house always wins"[/quote]
