You're welcome. My trophy isn’t at risk I’m just here for the fun and I don’t care what the odds are as I will choose by a name and that’s all. I don’t see this as anything other than a good laugh and a distraction right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the comp a bit underwhelming as everyone will be picking the top 2/3 in the market Its not even that, let me simplify it, at every price bracket above 7/4 it is removing value. You're getting less points awarded than the price merits. Whereas below 7/4 you're being awarded more points than the price would return, more value. So simply playing this game, you're far better off staying low in the prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on a forum where many users have made syndicates to try force win competitions and others have tried to manipulate competitions block betting towards the expiration to take advantage of gaps in the market. So sure it is good fun for you and just a distraction, others are going to take it seriously and take advantage of the unbalanced scoring system, especially now as I have educated the absolute shit for brains.

Even you rarely comment anymore Cheryl We are for the majority caught up in unprecedented times. My workload is off the scale and I do read but do not post as often.

david1111 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 @MrUKHackz I think with the generosity on a free to enter competition it should be enjoyed and taken at face value. Saying that, I want it to be completely fair for everyone who enters so if you feel reverting back to the tipping comp format is more appropriate we can do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev40 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 What David is trying to do is bring more skill than pure luck into the competition by trying to devise a scoring system that prevents someone having a good 3 days then someone coming in with a 50/1 winner on the last day and winning the competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all a bit of a pisstake surely though Cheryl, nobody is really serious about anything, nothing personal. Some folk enjoy the comps others don’t.

I'm always happy to change my mind if that's what people want. You know me, I don't want to purposely disadvantage anyone. Everyone is welcome to post their input but there's ways and means of getting the point across without belittling the effort people have put in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
