"Trust me lass I didna trow da match. Tha Ob is one tough foe. Ya get back ta me when ya can doll, I'll be enjoying an ale and watching da matchs. I hav me eye one a couple of the combatants." Rothander starts scanning the room looking for Ob and Nykkan.
Ob walks into the Glory holding his head high. slashes and bruises still very apparent on his body ans face. He approaches an empty table and stops a passing server "Your strongest drink please."

Out of hearing of the first match, Maginio goes over to gamble with zanandra. "I would like to bet 10GP on crow falling first, 10 on Polly drawing first blood, and 10 on team big leagues winning." He winks and pays the commission up front, then goes to watch the match.
Zalandra holds up her hand. "Whoa there, Big... Guy?" She squints at Maginino as if geninuely uncertain what to make of the goliath. "Fraid I didn't put forth any odds for 1st Blood for that Match. Figured it'd be a bit too one-sided. But if you fine with your other wagers than I'll put you down for it, sugar bear." She explains, and once the matter is settled goes back to her paper work.
Zalandra looked between Rothander and Nylah a few times with a skeptical look. "Ehhh... Tell you what, sweet thing. I'll put it forward to the boss, and see how she takes it. Then your father, her, and maybe chiseled bums there can work out the details." She claps her hands together and begins rubbing them together vigorously with a cheery smile. "Meantime! Let's me and you have a one time deal for now. Okay?" She asks holding out her hand now.

Zalandra's eyes went wide at the offer. Her growing smile soon turned into a small grimace. "Aaafter I take care of a few things down here, I'll meet you and your pop-pop up there lickity split." She claims before looking up at the announced match. "... Oh they're so gonna get destroyed."She giggles to herself, and after jotting down a few more things, Zalandra turns to Nylah. "All done. Just need to do my rounds and we're good to go. Here's a copy for you to look over real quick in the meantime. Think you might like nicknames." She says, handing over a list of the odds before hoping onto Lion Buddy to start rustling up gamblers.

For Those Wanting to Bet On the Level 4 Match:
There have been a few changes for the Rank(/level) 4. Bets will still remain open until the conditions for 1st to Fall section have been met. 1st Blood has been reinstated for the match. Variable betting has been temporarily restructured so that the minimum stake can be no lower than 10 gp, and maximum set to 200gp. In addition, for at least this match, gamblers do not need to put forward the vig thanks to this match's generous sponsor, Nylah, daughter of Toren "Tickle Whiskers".
(Stake x Odds = Payout(-Minus Stake, though it is returned as part of payout))
S/N Rulings:
For this match, bets will remain open until someone falls.
A gambler can bet on multiple categories, but only once per.
And to clarify, methods of incapacitation that do not involve a takedown (ie. Competitor being reduced to 0 hp) only qualifies as a 1st to fall IF said competitor REMAINS incapacitated until the match ends.
If multiple competitors are rendered incapacitated at the same time via the above method, and remain that way until the end of the match, the stake is considered a loss. In such an event, all proceeds is divided and funneled back into the arena to support future matches (or so she says at least)
If vig/commission is not paid upfront, it will be taken out of the winnings.
Competitors are allowed to place a bet either personally or by a proxy. HOWEVER, they are restricted to placing said bet upon their team's victory or personally achieving 1st Blood.
In the event of a draw (not sure if that's even possible), bets will be refunded (at cost to MD) in regards to any placed on a final winning team.
Those that don't understand the format change are free to ask for clarification.
Lastly, all bets are FINAL.
Stakes/Vig(commission): Min: 10gp Max: 200gp

Harmond serves Ob a mug of Orcish ale. "You've been on a roll with your recent fights, big guy. This is your free drink."
Eldin waves to Grianne and says, "Hey there. How's your day going? By the blessings of Hades, I'm having a particularly good day."Eldin is visibly quite happy. He'd be wagging his tiefling tail... if he had one.
Going quite well. I won my fight. And i may be trying to teach Sora some of the things the forest has taught me. Grianne is excited. I think i won some money from betting with Marmaduke too. Not sure how much though
