I've now earned more in the prediction league than anyone else has total but elegef, and pichu_pichu and I'll be catching both of them by 09 You sure look like you won't stop till you get control of this site. About this round, I did horrible in the JP one, of my 4 heavy bets I lost on 2, at least I managed to secure some winnings (still, I hadn't bet that much money), but my accuracy is taking a serious dip lately, I used to get around 70% in every round.

yea, I did pretty bad too. The Christmas season is really throwing a lot of my predictions off.

@Tbone

you dropped out of the 20 most active because 2 new people joined the ranks. If you follow the links for the complete standings you can do a word search on your name.

In terms of earnings for those in 5 rounds or more here are your stats

94    7    -2.46%    -67    2725    39.30%    21    Tbone

You are in the combined weekly page (linked to in first post near the top). This page just combined November 1 for America and Japan. Normally we only have 1 round at a time, but since there were 2 I figured it would be nice to see a overall combined chart. You made 89 on 390 so not bad at all.

Thx, but how did i drop from top 20 most active i havent missed a round about 2 months expect for the LTD hardware.

Some users reached the required number of rounds to be on the list, and they had better stats than you, I guess

Ohh well i guess i have to bet more.

exactly. Once we get too many people who have entered 12 rounds, then I'll up it to 13 rounds minimum, which will probably bump you back in.

Probaly i have to try harder if i want to keep up with u guys.

Okay, I'm reeeally curious how the damn payouts work! Seriously, I CANNOT figure it out!

I'll give a link to show what I mean: take a look at this guy.

He predicted 0 and bet $5 for everything except the 360. For the 360, he bets waay off: 1,000,000. The actual turns out to be far lower of course: 86,000, and the avg guess was 180,000. However, he still makes $19 from this round! A round in which he averaged 0% in accuracy.

... Yeah, I have no freggin clue. He's far from being the only example, too. I'd like to think there's some secret to this that I can exploit, netting tons of vg$

You always make the most $ by being the closest to actual results. Hence why PDF and I rake it in so big.

The reason he made cash was because so many bets had the overall average of 0, his average of 0 didn't really hurt him as bad as it should have. He could have made anywhere from 80-200 with good bets, but instead he just got lucky that the overall averages were 0. I'm guessing that when the average accuracy is 0, there is some sort of cap on the payout multiplication.

Also, people who are betting like this are getting banned, as I'm sick of fanboys coming in and messing up the league with rediculous bets like that. In about 1-2 weeks, I will hopefully be able to not only ban them, but kick them out of the round so they don't affect anything.

EDIT: as a note, that person you pointed out entered the round as a mistake. From what I understand someone else got on the computer and entered the numbers. If you go back and look at his other round, it was a legitimate shot at the round.

I would just like to say sorry since I made a mistake re-linking a game in the last round that was payed out.

I meant to have all versions of Guitar Hero: World Tour and that got messed up. But when I relinked the games, I made a mistake and took Guitar Hero III for the X360. Since I already payed out the round, and didn't notice till after then, I can do nothing about it.

Sorry
