Forums - Website Topics - The Prediction League - A serious issue

Although updating has now become somewhat regular, rounds from quite a while ago have not been updated at all, resulting in mounting debts.

Personally, I have no money left for predictions, while I still haven't gotten my money from the week ending February the 2nd.

Hopefully this can be resolved.

How is it being updated? I thought it was supposed to be script. So shouldn't it update pretty much automatically when the round is over?

I blew all my money on American March 15th, American March 22nd, and Japanese March 22nd. I'm flat broke now, and don't even know how I did on my first prediction. I couldn't wait and blew my money on my 2nd and 3rd. I hope I did okay.



Oh my gut is telling me, it will change soon anyway ;)



Montana you are up to date with it... you entered 6 leagues and have got your money back for the first 3 you entered.
The ones you haven't been paid yet are not due till next week, the week after, and the week after that. In fact, you didn't enter the one for 2nd Feb, though you did enter the 9th Feb league on the 2nd of Feb... I suspect you tried to enter the 2nd Feb league that same day, but were too late and you didn't notice.

In the long term you will always end up losing in predictions league. Yeah you may get lucky and make the odd profit every now and then. Chances are you will end up in the red.

Eh? Feb 2nd game was paid out ages ago.

Games get paid out a week after the data is put up. This allows a week for any data adjustments. So data for the week ending the 15th will be updated around the 25th - the real data goes up on the 18th and the prediction league is paid out a week later when the following weeks data is put up.

The trick obviously isn't to blow vg$1000 on your first prediction but to spread it out...
It was paid out, but for some reason the connection between the league and my wallet was lost.

 



 

 

Montana you didn't enter the first round, and I just added up all your transactions from the leagues... you got your money back for the first three rounds you entered.. if you hadn't been posting/adding games you would be about $100 in debt right now (although you are due money from the last three leagues, which are not yet late to be given out)

you started with $1000
forum activity and adding games brings you to about $1130 and the money spent and returned from the predicion league takes off $1100 which is why you are at $29



A more serious issue is the amount of people that are going to lose money on their Nintendo Wii predictions for this week. People were predicting 200k.



^man I failed... Nintendo blew this week, I figured if supply could fluctuate from 40 - 200k on a week when nothing happes it would be a breeze to plan a week to go above 200k.

That's VG$20 down the drain.

still, I think I did ok on the other hardware (we'll have to see for the software)
