  When I go to join a group and put match play challenge, the gaems that come up are not that, they´re just normal match play games for no credits.

  You already replied to the thread I made that stated the very same thing.  Why create another one?

  Hi seve, it's possible that the people who created the match play challenge games did not input any credits for the game. We are looking into this issue now.

  Ah, OK. Btw, I just won a game in which we had betted a 100 credits, so the sign came up saying I´d won 90 credits, but... I remember very clearly that I had 150 before the match and now it´s 230. Why?

  WGT charges a fee to both bettors, meaning that if 100 credits are bet then 10 credits will be taken away from each player, so 100 - 20 = 80 ... thus, 150 + 80 = 230. A lot of people have had this problem.

  I just want to restate how much I think this is a great addition - NOT! Matchplay Challenge is for the rich and the best, and it really limits the number of people that can play. I and hundreds (maybe even thousands) of other WGT players will be very dissapointed if the minimum number of credits is not decreased to 10, as suggested. Personally, I'd be okay with a fee increase of 20% for wagers under 100 credits - anything to let us play.

  Seve once you started that match, you no longer had 150, you had 50.  When you won, you won 90 of your original 100 back (because of the fee), so 50 + 90 = 140.  Then you took your opponents 90, so 140+90 = 230.

  Understand?

  WGT:  I think the bet amount should say the full available pot (180) and not just your stake after fees (90).  It might help to reduce confusion.  If the pot was 180 it may help players assess that they put in for a hundred, thus only stand to gain 80 and not 90 as the scorecard is leading many to believe.
