If i understand the wager system right, then, if waging points does not subtract them from a player's total until the fight ends, it should look somewhat like this:

[pre]
User1 wager=100 LOSS  profit=0-wager=-100
User2 wager=0   WIN   profit=100+wager=100
User3 wager=333 WIN   profit=100+wager=433
User4 wager=500 DRAW  profit=50
User5 wager=1   WIN   profit=100+wager=101
[/pre]

Im probably overlooking something though.

Under your scheme, the only purpose a wager seems to serve is the possibility to lose it if you lose the fight. There's no upside that I can see. User3 wagers 333, wins, and just gets their wager back. They might as well wager 0, no?

I think a classic wager system would be cool where the winners have some claim on the losers' wagers. I'll see if my more mathematical friend can help me come up with the math when he has free time.

Either way, I'm done touching the core Arena system for now aside from various things like bugfixes, tweaks, and improving the UI. It's time for me to move on to other issues.
