the outcome is and must be random in our opinion because it is provably fair. please correct me if I am wrong.
for example if you bet on seat #4 and #5 and the seats tie that means your both bets are a tie and we didn't find a way to solve this kind of outcome. actually the other 8 seats lost but the 2 bets are a tie.
Well, you could have it so that when there's an N way tie, each of the winning seats gets 9.9/N times the amount they bet.
It looks like moneypot doesn't offer card shuffles as one of its modes, so you have no choice but to fake it using the 'custom bet' endpoint as things stand.
not sure if I understood it. do you mean to split the profit and payout both seats? that would mean that this kind of tie would give the player a payout. fine for me (if I understood it right) but how about there will be another seat you didn't bet on but did tie with your 2 seats in this hand? how should we payout this hand?
when we joined moneypot we asked ryan if we can offer multiplayer player table but then he reversed it
ok he is the boss so we adjusted our games.
but we are still aiming to offer multiplayer tables and if not with moneypot then we need to go outside and give it a try.
thank you again for trying to help. very much appreciated
Again, I understand that the games are not multi-player.
I am talking about how to pay out when multiple seats have the best hand.
I don't think it is possible to make a game where that can happen on moneypot, so it doesn't really happen.
But if you could, then I think paying each winner 9.9/N times their stake would be the fair way to do it.
If two hands tie for the best hand, one of them is owned by the player and the other by the house, you would pay (9.9/2)x to the player. You don't pay the house anything, of course.
If two hands tie for the best hand and they're both owned by the player, you pay both of them (9.9/2)x. If they both staked the same (which they would, given how the game is currently set up) then the end result would be the same as picking just one of them and paying it 9.9x.

I've been playing the contest for an hour or so. It's more fun than I expected it would be.
I was thinking that knowing that the winner was picked at random, and then the cards 'made up' to get the required result would spoil the feel of the game, but the illusion is pretty good. It feels like watching a poker hand play out.

... but that includes profits and losses from before the hand-raking bug was fixed I guess.
