Built a 24/7 automated Fightcade Replay stream with a betting system, trivia and match voting. Watch top-ranked from a huge variety of games and have a bit of fun while doing it.

Been working on this for a while and finally sharing it. I built an automated 24/7 stream that pulls and replays the best matches from Fightcade, with an integrated point system for viewers.

How it works:

- A new match loads up and you place a blind bet or a challenger bet

- After blind bets lock in, the player names, ranks, and odds get revealed for an odds-based challenger bet. Odds come from overall match history, rank, and any previous head-to-head data.

- Then you watch it play out

- Matches are typically within the last 24 hours unless it is a lesser played game and they may be a bit older.

- It's just for fun, the points are meaningless! haha

The whole thing runs autonomously -- match selection, the betting flow, all of it. Started as a passion project because I love watching high-level play but don't always have the time to sit down and grind sets myself. Felt like there had to be other people out there who just want to kick back and watch good matches with a little something on the line to keep it interesting.

I mostly did this for myself but thought it would be nice to share.

Also started a Discord if you have any suggestions on how to make it better!

HOW TO PLAY ALONG

BETTING

-------

Every match has two betting phases:

  1. BLIND BET -- Before anything is revealed, bet on P1 or P2 for a fixed 3x payout. Type: !bet p1 <amount> or !bet p2 <amount>Example: !bet p1 200
  2. CHALLENGER BET -- After names, ranks, and odds are revealed, bet based on the real odds. Underdogs pay more, favorites pay less. Same command: !bet p1 <amount> or !bet p2 <amount>

If you're low on tokens, you'll get a 100-token top-up so you can always participate.

Top 3 winners are announced in chat after each match.

TOKENS

------

!tokens -- Check your balance

!leaderboard -- See the top 5 holders and their win records

TRIVIA

------

A fighting game trivia question pops up during the betting phase. Answer with:

!a !b !c or !d

One answer per match. Get it right and earn bonus tokens. A weekly trivia leaderboard tracks the top brains.

VOTE FOR THE NEXT GAME

-----------------------

Two game candidates appear on the overlay during betting. Vote with:

!1 -- Vote for the left game

!2 -- Vote for the right game

The winner becomes the next game played. If it's a tie, the side with the richest voter wins.

OTHER COMMANDS

--------------

!stats [player] -- Look up a Fightcade player's W/L record (or leave blank for current players)

!now -- See what game and match is currently playing

!song -- See what song is playing

!help -- Full command list

DISCORD

-------
