About
Salty Bet is a betting site based on the free-to-play fighting game, M.U.G.E.N. A continuous live stream of A.I. controlled M.U.G.E.N. fights, as well as a chat feed is provided through Twitch. The stream is also known as Salty's Dream Cast Casino.
Features
Fights occur between hundreds of community generated characters, often with wildly differing stats and moves (i.e. Goku from Dragon Ball Z vs. The Powerpuff Girls). Visitors to the site may watch and bet on the randomly chosen fights, using a free digital currency called Salty Bucks. Players placing Salty Bucks on characters can expect a payout upon that character winning, and vice versa. At the beginning of a fight, odds are displayed as well as a calculated payout.
Membership on the site is free, as well as full betting privileges. A paid subscription to the site allows for players to maintain a minimum of $666 Salty Bucks, access to a database of character statistics, as well as changes to the accounts on-site appearance.
The background music during matches consists of an eclectic soundtrack including video game music, classic rock, rap, etc. Occasionally, the site provides A.I. controlled tournaments with a theme (i.e. all Pokemon).
Culture
Salty Bet has developed it's own slang in the attached Twitch chat (often for humorous effect). For example:
- ALWAYS BET/NEVER BET DBZ/WAIFU/etc. (participants in the Twitch chat may try to influence bets by claiming character superiority. More often than not, chat will promote weaker characters in order to sway payouts in favor of stronger characters)
- REALEST/FAKEST (owing to the large amount of duplicate characters, and their varying stats, players will refer to good models as "real" and poor models as "fake". This terminology can also be applied to the outcome of a game)
- POTATO (a derogatory term for any weak or duplicate character. Nearly synonymous with "fake" in most circumstances. As many characters are community created and submitted, they may have unusual stats)
- SALT/SALT MINES (salt is used to refer to the in-site Salty Bucks. Players who lose a significant amount due to poor betting are said to be working their way out of the "salt mines")
As with any chat room, internet slang is prevalent. For example, "Waifu" is used much as it is elsewhere. Features seemingly unique to Salty Bet are a borderline irrational fondness for Darude's "Sandstorm", and the ever present Duane dancing.gif
![2/15/14 2/21/14 SALT MINES WEEKLY THE LATEST NEWS FROM SALTY BET BY DIGEEG00 Top Story: Shed a Tear for the New Tier That's right, the new morning sun of Thursday heralded the end of the addition of over 1200 new fighters to Salty Bet. Contrary to the previous update in December that lasted around a menth, this new NEW Tier lasted a little over a week. If you ask anyone about why this new tier went by se fast, most of them will say the same thing: broken. As stated in last week's newsletter, the new update had a slew of broken fighters. Most ef them went 5-0 while making a majority of the other fighter、0-5, so as of this writing, it seerns like, additional tiering needs to be dene so characters will have better fishts. That may be good news te the peeple who miss the old days ef Salty Bet when every fight had 100:1 edds. Well, not every fitht but you know what I mean. We'll just have te wait for the new "G-Tier" and premetien/demetion matches that Salty stated yesterday were €0min珽soon. NP. THURSDAY TALES This week's Shaker had no shortage of amazing fights. The most prominent had to do with a story from last week. Venom, who engaged in a viscous assult had a courtroom rumble with the defendant and the two layers. He was found guilty after being beaten by a naked Producer. He is currently going through the appeal process. Like the Shaker last week, the matches were played out in the order they were voted in the list. While the current system does "give the people what they want," some people do not get what they what i.e. their matches. No word on if there will be any changes but the current system seems to work for the most part. But even with the new system, a Dark Donald vs Rare Akuma match slipped itself in. Probably the biggest complaint of the Shaker had nothing to do with Salty Bet. Twitch Plays Pokemon overloaded the Twitch servers, making every other stream slower and and the infamous "Salty Slideshow." But it seemed like the problem had cleared out a bit later in the tourney. On a more serious note, it seems that the amount of people attending the Shakers has decreased over time steadily. This could be for a number of reasons. Make sure to let your friends know about this site so we can reinvigorate it and continue to have many Salty adventures together. I don't know what I would do without you readers so let's not have to face that possibility!! laggy.
