lol, I got 5 with 0%, and everything else was above 71%. Had I not screwed those up so bad, I would have had a really good round.

 

Lol We both won the most & complain more than everyone else. ;p

heh, I only got 20% on returns. I could have been closer to 25% had I not thrown away ~$150. Not only that, but accuracy matters to me as much as VG$. Sure I make a lot, but I also typically sit near the top 5 in accuracy too.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Nord.

If someone bets on a game 1k for a game selling 50k and his prediction was 35k does he earn more money than someone who predicted 45k and bet 500.

It depends on what the average bet is. The equation goes something like this

(1-(diff/actual))/(average accuracy)*bet

so using your example we get the following scenarios

average Accuracy 1k bet 500 bet
100 -300 -50
90 -222.222 0
80 -125 62.5
70 0 142.8571
60 166.6667 250
50 400 400
40 750 625
30 1333.333 1000
20 2500 1750
10 6000 4000
1 69000 44500

However, I am yet to see someone make more than 50% off of a bet, so I have a feeling there is a cap, but I haven't seen the equation yet. Also, you would have to get very lucky for everyone to bet so far off, and you be so close.
