# Zombie Arena Betting

The "Zombie Arena" mode in "Deadland Delivery" introduces a thrilling betting system where players wager on two competing sides. The twist lies in the strategic betting: the side with the lower total wager wins and receives a reward of 1.9 times the amount bet. This mode adds an element of risk and strategy, making every match unpredictable and exciting.

## Determining the Winner

The side with the lower total amount wagered wins the match. This encourages strategic betting and adds a psychological element as players try to predict how others will bet.

* **Total Calculation**: After the betting window closes, the total amount wagered on each side is calculated.
* **Winning Side**: The side with the lower total wager is declared the winner. This mechanism ensures that players must think carefully about their bets, aiming to be on the less popular side to win.

## Payout and Rewards

Winners receive a payout of 1.9 times the amount they wagered, providing a significant incentive to bet strategically and take calculated risks.

* **Payout Calculation**: The reward for winning is 1.9 times the amount bet. For example, if a player wagers 100 energy and their side wins, they receive 190 energy.
