I didn't get the best score despite being the only one to predict a QPR win?

[Old Man Andrews]

I didn't get the best score despite being the only one to predict a QPR win?

It is because you are black.

Correct.

Gunny, Horsham, Country Royal had HT SCORE correct = 3 Points

You had final RESULT correct 2 points. Had you predicted 0-1 and not 1-2 you'd have scored 7 total

Other points are format and specified first team to score


Predicting 0-0 at HT is a bit of a cheat as it's so commonplace


That's why I give 3 points for HT score, 5 for FT score

and 1 for HT result, 2 for FT result

Reading 0-0 QPR HT
Reading 0-1 QPR FT

QPR to score first <<<

Scores 3+5+1+1 = 10

But hang on a mo


The -3 for worst prediction is good, but it may be making people more conservative.

So, if you post the most extreme prediction AND YOU ARE CORRECT you will get a 5 point bonus


That's ambiguous. I MEANT if Xxxxx predicts a 4-0 win (extreme) he risks a -3 of it's a draw or defeat

In your case I didn't spot 1-2 as "extreme" but since you were the only person predicting a QPR win
it is clearly "risking a -3.

But this is the first time we have had a single person predicting a win like this
and you DIDN'T get the score right.

The -3/5 thing is meant to cover a scenario where there's a range of opinions
e.g. six people going for a QPR win but one person shouts out 0-4.



0-1
0-1
0-1
1-2
1-2
0-4 <<<<<


I'll see if there are any further comments, but arguably you WERE "out on a limb" and deserve the 5 point bonus
