Salty Bet: the most incredible, pointless, awesome thing.

I'm sorry in advance for introducing you guys to this.

So there's this thing called Salty Bet. It's... utter madness and something you just can't stop watching.

At its core, Salty Bet is a stream of constantly playing MUGEN matchups with AI only players, and the characters are chosen at random from thousands of user-created characters. You bet on the match outcome with fake money, in hopes of making more fake money, and you try to psyche out the other betters in the chat during betting phase, because by them betting on the loser, you make more money.

It's absolutely insane. You'll see Simba Vs. Brolly. Ronald McDonald Vs. Ryu. Tohou characters Vs. Megazord. Hell, I watched Sigma's robodog fight Hey Arnold and Ren and Stimpy earlier. Some of these characters are balanced, some are ridiculously OP, and some are so worthless that they won't even connect with their attacks. Point is - there is NO strategy to betting. You just go with your gut, and laugh your butt off at the action.

PC Gamer has an excellent writeup on the full rules of Salty Bet, and just why it's so much fun. It's worth a quick read.

Get in here and bet on matches with me! At the time of this post, Bridget is fighting Darth Maul in Babidi's chamber right now... and winning!
