Forums - Website Topics - Prediction League what feature would you like to see incorporated?

So for those that haven't asked for years to see this amazing competition returned and aren't familiar :

You use your vg$ to bet in our prediction games, 10 games and consoles/handhelds for example

and after this was calculated we had a ranking just like with any league :


the how to play from back in the day, this might also get some revisions based on suggestions

 

Now since there is still going to be some work on it we would like to know what you would like to see included!!!

monthly rounds, more overall standings, just name it and we will see what is within the scope of possibilities

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Can I ask how it works precisely? How does the accuracy % determine the amount you win/lose on your bet?

Edit: Oh and is this for hardware too (since I find that more interesting) or just software?

The items with a broken icon are the wii, ps3, xbox360, DS and PSP, it generally is ten software and five hardware sales predictions.

Winnings 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

If you want to copy & paste the "how to play" page, that might help some people, too...

Great idea, added

Maybe a way to do bets with specific people? Like you both bet a certain amount a money, then the person who is closer gets the amount? That may be prone to cheating though by people who make alts or want to throw their money at others.

Tag. This sounds fun. Will you be adding other similar formats for this, such as the E3 bingos and the like?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
