eli5: How is money distributed when there are multiple betters?

556 views

On twitch I’ve been watching a lot of BTD6 streams and betting with channel points, and as stupid as that sounds, it’s actually pretty fun. But when I look up my question, I get a lot of different answers. All I want to know is, do people that bet more get more money, if so how much, and how is it calculated who get how much.

When a channelpoint bet it set up there are two pools for each side of the bet. When one side wins they get the other sides pool. Each one gets their own bet points back and a part of the other pool in proportion of the amount they bet to their pool.
Example:

You bet 50 on A
Rick bets 150 on A

Carl bets 50 on B
Lisa bets 50 on B

Now there is 200 in Pool A, 50 of these are yours, and 100 in Pool B. A wins, so first you get your 50 back, then your part of pool B. Since you bet 50 of 200 total, you get a quarter of the 100, which is 25.

After the bet your 50 channel points are now 75.
