Title: A game called Ending
Post by: Lorence.xD on December 05, 2020, 01:45:39 PM
Has anyone here have heard of the game "Ending"? It is a well known game in my country, usually basketball is involved in the game. The basics of the game is you will bet on the last number of the scoreboard, for example, Team A and Team B played and Team A won, the scoreboard is 109-108 which means that someone who bets on 9-8 will win. That is the gist of the game, I am not familiar that much because I am not a fan of basketball. There is a bookie that will list the bettors, most bookies go around the neighborhood to find bettors and some of them are patrons. It dawned to me for awhile and I was curious if there is a crypto counterpart of this game.

I have never seen a sign that offers exactly what you described, but there's a lot of thread already created in the forum about the ending game.

maybe you can request from our popular sportsbook here to add this kind of game.

Familiar with it and it is sort of a lottery gambling. I've experienced betting on it and I think there's no patterns in order to determine which will be the winning number. It is also in line with sportsbetying because most of the time, the scores are based or are from scores of basketball teams in a match as OP have mentioned, but I've heard other sports are also involved depending on the one who is conducting this activity. I think lottery is more of its counterpart but I'm not sure if lotteries do exist in this crypto gambling industry. Maybe those games involving pure luck will suit this well.

It seems quite a simple game :)

Probability is (1/10)*(1/10)= 1/100 if my fast calculation is accurate. Maybe not, as there is a higher probability in basket to get 2 points than 1 or 3... so the calculation may be more difficult.

How much can you win in your country with ending? something like how many times the money you gambled?

Nitrogensports offers a similar type of prediction/lottery in their blog page called Nitro Squares (https://blog.nitrogensports.eu/squares/) where you predict the last digit of the total scores in NFL or certain events.
Actually there's Nitrogensports and they offer the same, you may go onto that link above, kudos to ralle14 for that and the topic it leads to was the recent opened thread I guess. The one you've accustomed to or even me was my favorite as well but time do change and it goes online.

I don't think there's a crypto counterpart of it but it seems really interesting. Also, as the combinations can be any, the house edge can also be really big for any casino to provide such games, in like sports betting. And hence, I think this would be a nice idea to implement such games.

This game doesn't look simple in my eyes. It looks like correct score in soccer and you know to predict correct score and win is extremely difficult among all other option. But the little difference with the ending game as op made the example of 9 and 8, maybe is you can predict one of the numbers at the end and have a win but if it is the two ending to predict accurately, then is very difficult like correct score.

Never heard of "Ending" game before, but sounds familiar. I mean, isn't this a form of sports betting since you have to predict the end score of the games? Almost all online sportsbook games allows users to place bet on score prediction. I have also seen payouts are given to users who predicts the closest. Nothing new.
But, based on one of the post above which links to another topic, it looks like it's something different than what you have explained. Not sure if it is the same thing you are talking about, but looks more complicated.

you should not count 0-0 1-1 2-2 etc since the final result doesn't allow a draw.
so 1/90 not easy at all, it's like the football correct score, something very hard to predict :(

generally speaking it's the first time that I have seen something like this. bookie have a lot of different offers so probably it's already quoted somewhere...

I see! sometimes my fast calculations are simply worth only the little time I take calculating them and no more :D. Something in background was telling me that it couldn't be so easy, i wasn't taking into account the draws.

Anyway, the final result could be 80-90; 91-101 etc. so these numbers should still be counted (not in all cases, for example 90-90, but in many different combinations). Unless you are talking about 0-0, 1-1 as final results and not last numbers of the scoreboard, but talking about basketball this is almost impossible.

I agree with the bookie comment: there are so many "exotic" bets that it wouldn't be strange if that was one of them.

I haven't heard of the game and haven't seen bet offerings on it. However, I see that Sportsbet.io offers lots of different bets on basketball, so perhaps there's something at least similar among them. For instance, I see there's a bet on the winning margin sometimes, and bets on the total score for each team, for the whole game etc. I take it that's not exactly this Ending. It's actually a very specific way of betting now that I read more about it, because only the end number matters, so multiple real outcomes make you the winner. I guess it's also especially popular in the Philippines, and not so much in other places, so perhaps you could find a local casino or some advice on it in a local board.

I've heard it before also here from the forum many users created a thread something like that is it in sports am I right specifically basketball? I think we could ask the bookies about it but I'm not quite sure if this would be popular to book maker.

But isn't it more riskier than just betting on the teams , about which one is going to win / loose ? This game for sure does need a lot of luck. I do believe that you would be better off playing some other game.
Plus the probability 1/10*1/10 is scary , on the other hand if you do bet on a team you would win 50% of the time ofcourse. Which is like 1/2.
So which one would you want to do???
1/2 or 1/100
This seems like a really complicated and really luck based game and therefore it's not adapted in the channel and most of the websites don't have it. I won't blame them since you know this is outright impossible and people won't even wanna try.

I think it's only familiar and popular in our country. But for the other countries, they don't have this style of gambling through getting scores of a basketball game at the end of the game. I haven't seen a bookie that have this as well but if there will be, I think it's an interesting feature that they can add for each games for basketball. They could as well add it to other games that has a long scoring for the sports but I think it's only ideal for basketball. Maybe in e-sports like Dota 2 can be applied as well through scoring/kills at the end of a match.

Haven't seen that kind of betting in any sportsbook that I encountered here. That's a special betting game though. But if you have local sportsbook in your area, lucky if you have crypto sportsbook, that will be a good addition as your locals will be the patrons on this game. And since it is already a popular betting game, it would not be hard for the sportsbook to get clients.

This is just a locale game and theres no such crypto bookie that been offering this kind of game but we know that there are bets like
total scores of the game neither under or higher on a certain digit but not on this one about its ending digits.

I don't know if bookies would be offering this one or would simply just stay on some local type of game.

Im much aware that there are indeed kind or way of betting about this one.Its even unique on each places of the world.

Yes, it is something that involves sports which is the basketball. It is only popular in our country which has been like a tradition or something like that, everytime that there is a basketball game, (PBA most of the time), expect that there will always be those persons who will accumulate players to bet on their ending.

This is an illegal gambling in the Philippines, I'm not so sure about it but I haven't see an organization about "ending" like PCSO for lotto draws. I was able to bet on this a couple of times,  by the way people who are doing ending is just small time so police don't get too busy capturing them each time. The ending, from the word itself is the end of scores from the basketball, PBA or NBA or any basketball league, higher score takes the first number and least at second, say the score is 105 - 97, the ending number is 5 - 7, if you were lucky to bet on this combination you'll win depends on how much you bet it. As far as I know it's x50 for every peso. So if you bet 50PHP you'll win 2500PHP.
