Spycrabbing


Spycrabbing is the most popular form of gambling in TF2, 2 or more players put forward an item (all the items must be around the same price) they then taunt with the disguise kit to play. Normal scoring for a 2v2 or 3v3 or 4v4 spycrab is first to 3 spycrabs loses (If doing a 3v3 or above then you get knocked when you do 3 spycrabs) You can do large of up to around 24 people, when you enter one of these normally its only 1 spycrab until you are out.
Note: When entering a spycrab for over 1 key its good to have a trusted middleman that both sides know, but i will talk about that later.
You may make up your own scoring at the start of the spycrab if you so wish for example first to 2 spycrabs wins, but i recommend first to 3 loses.
You should always have somebody watching your spycrab to be witness incase one of you taunts and says they didn't spycrab but the opponent says they did.
Note:make sure you either taunt one then the other or at the same time,this makes sure the number of taunts is even.
Note:If both of you taunt a spycrab at the same time, then the sum of both your spycrabs is 3 then you must taunt again until one gets a spycrab and loses
Craft Gambling

Craft gambling is when you have 3 people with 3 refined and you all pick 3 classes, you then craft that 3 refined into a hat, the person with the class that matches the hat wins the hat when it is crafted.
Here's How it works:The three people either spycrab or do a raffle to see who gets first pick, then another to see who gets second pick then one more to see who gets to craft the 3 refined. The pick system goes like this 1st picker picks 1, 2nd picker picks 1, third picker picks 2 then first picker picks 2 second picker picks 2 then third picker picks 1. seems complex but is quite easy

Note:Always make sure their are witnesses, that know your craft gambling on the server,make sure everyone verifies in the chat to.
Halloween Gambling

This type of gambling involves 2 soldiers during Halloween, its basically like spycrab when the soldier does the grenade taunt they are out, first to 3 grenade taunts loses.
How to keep Safe when Gambling

Spycrabbing:

• Know who you are spycrabbing semi-well
• Middle man items worth over a key
• if the person runs take screenshots
• Make sure the rules of the spycrab are clear
• Make sure the player has the item they are spycrabbing before you spycrab them, do this by going into their profile page and looking into their inventory
• Film if the item is as high as a bills hat, I recommend fraps screen capture
• keep your console open

Craft Gamble:

• Know the people you are craft gambling with
• Make sure an admin is online
• Make sure everyone has a refined to gamble with
• Screenshot if someone runs
• keep your console open
