Just wondering but is there diffrence in winnings for safe bets which can be estimated quite easily (like console numbers or games in their 10 or 20 week) compared to high risk bets like new big game releases ?

to an extent. the equation is something like this

[your bet]*[your accuracy]/[average accuracy]

so, if you do better than the average you make more money. If you do worse than the average, then you lose money. When Sonic and the Black Knight released in Japan I made a huge amount of money off of it because I had ~60% accuracy, while the average accuracy was 0%. However, there is some form of payout cap in place so I didn't get infinite money




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

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.

hey, I was just providing an example. At least I didn't point out how you lost all your money because you bet 50k or whatever on soccer in the US
