| c0rd said: Okay, I'm reeeally curious how the damn payouts work! Seriously, I CANNOT figure it out! I'll give a link to show what I mean: take a look at this guy. He predicted 0 and bet $5 for everything except the 360. For the 360, he bets waay off: 1,000,000. The actual turns out to be far lower of course: 86,000, and the avg guess was 180,000. However, he still makes $19 from this round! A round in which he averaged 0% in accuracy. ... Yeah, I have no freggin clue. He's far from being the only example, too. I'd like to think there's some secret to this that I can exploit, netting tons of vg$ |
You always make the most $ by being the closest to actual results. Hence why PDF and I rake it in so big.
The reason he made cash was because so many bets had the overall average of 0, his average of 0 didn't really hurt him as bad as it should have. He could have made anywhere from 80-200 with good bets, but instead he just got lucky that the overall averages were 0. I'm guessing that when the average accuracy is 0, there is some sort of cap on the payout multiplication.
Also, people who are betting like this are getting banned, as I'm sick of fanboys coming in and messing up the league with rediculous bets like that. In about 1-2 weeks, I will hopefully be able to not only ban them, but kick them out of the round so they don't affect anything.
EDIT: as a note, that person you pointed out entered the round as a mistake. From what I understand someone else got on the computer and entered the numbers. If you go back and look at his other round, it was a legitimate shot at the round.
