When we will get vg$ from the prediction league?

[68soul]

As an example with that 96% PS3 AVERAGE accuracy, here are the results of the best 50 players in the League that week for the PS3 prediction:


73.98 / 48.78 / 84.06 / 86.58 / 93.26 / 93.26 / 86.58 / 48.78 / 86.58 / 61.38

73.09 / 98.62 / 95.78 / 99.18 / 86.58 / 75.61 / 99.18 / 85.51 / 70.55 / 99.18

75.61 / 93.26 / 93.26 / 99.18 / 61.38 / 84.06 / 90.73 / 86.58 / 95.78 / 87.84

99.18 / 75.61 / 86.58 / 99.18 / 75.61 / 61.38 / 95.78 / 99.88 / 61.38 / 65.53

99.18 / 10.96 / 73.09 / 83.17 / 46.25 / 86.58 / 99.18 / 99.18 / 88.21 / 89.1


As you may see, yes, 18 of these are in the 90%, and 10 in the 80%... so half of the players were close... but does it mean everybody was very close? Not at all...

I don't have the time to write all the 170+ results, but i'm sure you'll find the same tendency: the AVERAGE prediction doesn't mean most people were right, and that it's a really TOO EASY prediction... it just means most people were in the same kind of numbers...

In that case, from 20.000 to 60.000... and it's normal, we all know it will not be bellow, or it will not be higher... so hardware predictions will never be rewarding then...

Anyway, on these 50 people, only 10 have more than 96%, and win... nearly nothing... so that system drains money out of the game...

Now, i understand your point, ioi: you don't want the people to easily cash in on the easiest predictions... but i think that system should be more balanced... a 90% prediction should give people some good earnings anyway... and a 30% prediction should not give people a lot of earnings, just because most of the others were even more wrong... but once again, it's only my opinion, and i'll have fun doin' my predictions, no matter what the system finally is...
