I was #18 on that list until I entered the last 2 prediction leagues.

If I break even with the 3 prediction leagues I'm in, I'll have $2261.59, however I've been averaging 10-20% payout so I expect to have between $2450-2630 in roughly 2 weeks, + whatever I make adding games and posting.

So no, I'm not surprised I would be near the top.

I just post a lot, I guess.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

The prediction league hasn't really taken effect yet, so once the better predictors start getting money back they will start topping the list.
In the last three rounds I entered I came 8th, 7th and 8th Although I missed the deadline for the latest two, which is the only reason i'm up there (I probably would have spent $500-700 on 2 rounds)

then of course people like Ferret and Quigontcb will be there because they add a bejesus load of games, and Soriku who posts too much.

 I actually haven't added any games in the last few weeks since ioi told us to hold off on it. But it seems the DB overhaul is taking a bit loner than expected, and he added VC, XBL, and PSN catergories, so maybe he's fine with it for now. I've pretty much been just adding boxarts to games that appear on the charts since then.

I was kind of surprised about my appearance. I was in the top 10 until I entered the latest American prediction. I'd say I've entered about 30-40% of the PL weeks so far and have done ok. One week I was the top earner, though not number one in %. I also got a nice VGBucks start by adding a ton of games the day that ioi implemented VG$. I was kinda surprised when I logged in and saw I had a bunch of cash. I think we got $3 per game back then, so I made off like a bandit. Other than that, I really don't post a whole lot, though I have been posting more the last few months. I haven't done a lot of the PL lately, so I imagine I'll drop some when payments start coming in.
