In my opinion the reason for betting servers is so that the host gets, or at least tries to profit from nudges. I've never really seen it happen, but I think players rig decapitation prizes as well. Although it's unlikely, you never know.

Nudges don't change the amount of profit you make in a betting server at all. If anything, they should allow you to make/lose more because usually the "better" players buy nudges. This results in tense fights, which is where the "real" bets come out. I can see how people get frustrated at all the nudges, but if you only want to play a game of Toribash, don't join a betting server.
Lately, the bets have dropped quite a lot. The times that more than 10k is on one person, the counters are no higher than 1k. I'd personally like to see more GM Betting servers and better hosted servers. The people who randomly cancel bets because someone said so are drastically affecting how much people bet. Also, dueling seems like a better way to make money in almost every way. If both the players bet 10k on themselves, that's almost the same as a duel. Its more likely than not that some other player in a room will bet a large amount on one of the two people playing, lowering the profit for the winning player, but keeping the loss the same for the loser.
There really is no solution to the betting servers, but I hope they grow, somehow.
