Cash-back Inducement

[Ogre Marauder]

Don't know how many folks are using the Vault, but this is for those who are...

Based on the fluff, the stadium boss is basically handing him a pile of cash and saying spend this to make it a fair game. What if a coach thinks his lower TV doesn't automatically make his team more likely to lose? What if he'd prefer to take some of that cash and keep it?

So, how about a house rule which allows an underdog to keep some of the cash? My initial thoughts were for an inducement 'costing' 100K and giving +1 to the winnings roll at the end of the game. Then i rethought about the fluff and how that might affect it, with the following result

100k inducement: Pay us for the show. Results in:
+0 to winnings if lose by 2+ TD
+1 to winnings if lose by 1 or draw game
+2 to winnings if win game

btw i am very aware that this breaks the rule of 'no inducement should permanently affect a team' but that's why i'm thinking ofd it as a house rule.

What do you think? (posting this just for discussion - not at all likely to use it...)

Hi Paul,
I've suggested somthing similar in the past.
In short, it wasn't popular.
My guess is: Never going to happen.

Like Plasmoid said, ain't going to happen.

Now as a house rule I don't think maybe +1 or +2 to winnings is a good enough return for 100k - so it won't get taken (remember that winning is worth +1 and a reroll of winnings)

50k might be tempting for your suggestion.
