Oh I see... so do we only get a profit if our predictions are higher than the average of all peoples predictions?

Yes, i think that's the trick...

The bad thing is, if by an incredible chance (or misfortune), the average prediction is 100% (nearly the case here with the PS3 and a global 96% accuracy), you'll loose your money anyway, even if your prediction was higher than 90%...

Is it me, or is it a little bit unfair? Loose a bet when you're 90% or 95% correct? And in another case, win with a 30% accuracy, if the global one is 0%? It's a really, really strange system... not really rewarding, imho...

If you have 90% accuracy and the average accuracy is 95%, than you underperformed. If you have 50% accuracy and the average is 30%, you're a great predictor.

Allright Mnementh, maybe... but i think that system is too dependant on luck: the average prediction is... average...

Like i already stated, the PS3 has 96% average accuracy in that game, but it doesn't mean most of the predictors were totally right... i was 95% correct on the PS3, and i loose... just a little bit, ok, but i loose... I think that's not fair...

And what about Wii play? If the average is 0%, how's the formula then? Cos 100 divided by 0 and 0 divided by 0 is always the same result...

Anyway, i find strange to win more money on my Wii Play 37% prediction than on my PS3 95% prediction... and i find strange that most of the best overall predictors of that round actually loose money...

I mean, if the goal is not to win vgchart$, but not to loose too much, what's the point? It's not really rewarding, and it doesn't give the best predictors what they desearve, or at least that's the way i see it...
