World Tournament Series Bets

There isn’t a formalized structure for that. Is that what you’re asking?
I imagine there will be some side betting going on in a player-to-player sort of situation. I should take this opportunity to say that this sort of thing would represent the “Gentleman’s Agreement” that Customer Support writes about, where they are unable to get into the middle of such agreements and settle disputes or lack of fulfillment.
For example, if Fred and Mary bet 100 G on the outcome and Mary then refused to “pay up,” our CS Team wouldn’t take action on Mary or — horrible thought! — get on Mary’s account and take the gold to give it to Fred. They made a private agreement outside normal game mechanics, and it’s up to both of them to honor their agreements without the involvement of GMs or other employees.
TL;dr: Not disallowed, but not officially supported or enforced.

I think that there is a streamer, named coolioben or something who could set up a reliable middle man for you if you wanted to make a bet with someone about who will win.
Wow.
Mary is such a b*tch.
I think it would be cool for the next major to have something similar to CSGO’s pick’em challenge. For those not familiar with it, you bet on who is going to win, and you try to get a bronze, silver, or gold trophy.
Heavens Rage
Gaile, remember how back in GW1 we could bet on which team would win the GvG/HoH tournaments and players could get free Zaishen Keys if they picked the winners? Maybe you could consider doing something similar for GW2.
Im willing to bet up to 100 gold (all my gold) that China will win.
I’m not coming back, not that you care.
Yeah them Karma streamers always run bet arenas and such they stream on twitch so if any betting is going on I’m sure it will be from them. IDK how reliable they are but from past streams they seem ok as middle men/ event coordinators idk handle at your own risk all! Persoanlly I’m not a betting man I only put my money in 100% situations but bets do make for interesting stories lol.
Wow.
Mary is such a b*tch.

Im willing to bet up to 100 gold (all my gold) that China will win.
Lets Start. I bet NA will win. ( I am in EU )
If China wins I will find someone with an NA account to give you the gold. If EU wins it is a draw.
Deal?

This guy knows how to bet.
China wont win, they have Nocturne Z on there team right? He’s a mid tier player and use to play NA, if you have 1 mid tier player and 4 top tier going up against teams with 5 top tier players than the odds aren’t in your favor.
EU is going to win like they always do, they provide the community with meta builds unlike the NA teams, they know what there doing and are the innovators unlike the NA teams running previous out of date meta’s compared to what the real meta is.
NA team is also dumb, rather than being an All Star team, theres some people that I would replace on that team which would stand a better chance against EU. Basically its not the best of NA, I kinda look at it like the NBA, theres a lot of good players out there but they not on same team, so when the USA competes against other countries they put all the good players on the same team. This is like the Olympics you need all your good players on the same team, which isn’t happening.
Doesn’t really bother me that NA is going to lose, aint like NA servers are getting a buff due to them winning or a debuff due to them losing. GW2 doesn’t really hype this stuff up much in game and doesn’t make it matter to those that aren’t going. So much stuff GW2 COULD be doing but they aint.
