These were the rules: So you want to be a contender? Do you think you can out-estimate the analysts? Show off your predicting prowess in the VG Chartz Prediction League. How to PlayEach week we will create prediction rounds for Japan, America and Others. In each round you must submit your predictions for the ten software and five hardware sales using our entry form. VG Chartz will provide a list of software and hardware for players to predict sales of (generally expected to be the top performers for that week). To qualify for a given contest, your entry must be received before the closing date. Occasionally, VG Chartz will post some one-off prediction rounds covering sales over a quarter or a year. These rounds can be entered in exactly the same way as the weekly rounds. Betting on your predictionsEach prediction you make per round has a minimum bet that you must place of vg$5. This means that across the 15 prediction fields in each round the mimimum total bet is vg$75 (15 x 5). For predictions you feel more confident about you can bet more against, for predictions you are less confident about you should bet the mimimum amount. Your total bet amount over the 15 predictions in a round cannot exceed your current wealth - i.e it cannot make you bankrupt to place the bet. Think wisely about your predictions - use the charting and comparison tools provided by the website to look over historical data and place your money wisely on the predictions you think will pay out the most! Your WinningsWinnings are determined by your prediction accuracy. Prediction accuracy for a each prediction is calculated as the difference between your prediction and actual figure / actual figure. The prediction accuracy for each prediction is divided by the average accuracy across all users for that prediction and then this ratio is multiplied by your bet on that prediction. This is totalled up over the 15 predictions. An example is the best way to illustrate. |
Thanks. I'm sold. I vote prediction league for sure.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
