Weekly Ranking

OP is updated.

non-gravity fell in the charts fairly hard, while xXSyXcIoNXx managed to jump up 2 spots and take non-gravity's place in the Winnings Ratio Chart. Overall there are a few small changes.

Our Madden predictions were such a fail.
I'm surprised the game didn't sell as good as last year.

well, last year it was on sale for 4 days, compared to 2 days this year, but I really expected better results anyways.

I can't wait to see what happens with the madden round. Even though those games will cause some massive losses, I ran some preliminary numbers and there should be some nice healthy profits for some people.

I made money in the last round? Seriously? Woohoo

Wanna see the new round, hope numbers come out soon

^^^ right now I have you pegged as the biggest winner for the madden week followed closely by non-gravity. However, your winnings (and the other big winners) could take a big hit as I'm guessing at the real payout algorithm which I still haven't managed to get it out of talonman

Overall I'd venture to guess you actually took 3rd and non-gravity is 4th, with me #1 and oliist #2. The original estimates have all of us above 3k winnings, but I'm going to guess oliist and I get ~2k, and you and non-gravity get ~1k. The real thing that makes it hard to determine winnings ahead of time is when the ratio between an individual bet and the average extremely high which it was for at least 2 games for all 4 of us.

Tbone looks like he is going to take a decent hit and will be lucky to break even if not worse.

I know I made big bucks with the lower games predictions (FNR4, UFC, Prototype). Was the average accuracy for those zero? If that, I'll get back my accuracy (so, if I did 37%, I'll get 37% of my bet in earnings). That's how I think it works.

On protocol, the average accuracy was 6.43%, your accuracy was 58.64%. If you used what is on the how to play page, you would get 1k * 58.64 / 6.43 = 9112.70, or you would have earned an aditional 8112.70. This happens on occasion, but the biggest winnings ever was ~3.5k so obviously there is a cap. I don't know what the cap is though and I'm yet to figure it out.

The reason I think you'll take #3 though, is because oliist and I have more bets that did decent and the same two bets that did extremely well as you. Overall though, I still think you and non-gravity will have the much better rounds. I did poor on accuracy only getting a 67.8 compared to the other top 4 getting around 72-76%

I think that the cap is that you can't earn more than your average accuracy. So, if my accuracy was 58%, the max I can earn back is $1580 (with corresponding decimals). If the average wasn't zero, I may earn a bit less than that (maybe I'll have 6% of my bet taken off)
