BET CONTEST - FIRST REVISION OF USER POSTS

 

Well, I have made a first revision of the posts of every participant so far and the users mentioned below have some problems in their posts. There will be a second (and last) revision 24 hours before the deadline to enter the contest. After that, I won't look at your posts until it's time to post the final results, so if you enter the contest in the last 24 hours please check and double check your post.

 

Risk of disqualification...

 

@Bohemia has left one bet without points (number 5), has currently distributed less than 250 (but that isn't a motive of DSQ).

@stamura84 Excess of points distributed.

@titicow Excess of points distributed.

@ArK Some bets have more than 10 points assigned, you can only place up to 10 points in a bet.

 

Not at risk of disqualification, but have used less than 250 points (just a favor from your host ;))...

 

@Pablita

@Federer91

@dcro

@bestmen

@uk12points

@EselTheDonkey

 

 

Also @tigersay, @Dunadan and @OlympicsFan haven't filled up their predictions completely, but I'm sure they will do at the end.

Question 24 - Biathlon. I don't think it's clear for everyone.

24- There will be a Gold Medalist in the individual races with 1 or more misses on the shooting range. [YES/NO - X]

What do you mean by individual races?

A) The two Individual events (20km men's and 15km women's)

or B) all the individual races (Sprint + Pursuit + Individual + Mass Start)

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Bet Contest is now OPEN

 

Please, READ THE RULES carefully before posting. And keep track of the NUMBER OF POINTS you distributed at the end, this is very important. I will try to warn users that have excess of points few days before the deadline, but you will be disqualified if you're exceded by even 1 point (it's tough but there is no other option unfortunately, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep the contest fair).

 

Also, if you detect any ambiguity or problems with the bets (or if you just need some clarification of the meaning), don't hesitate to tell me here. This contest is tough to make so it's always possible that I didn't notice some flaw in the bets. The sooner we see them the better, of course.

 

Good Luck!

Instructions

 

In order to post your predictions, you have to do the following:

  • Select with your mouse specified content of the Post named Prediction Contest Design
  • Copy the selected content
  • Go to Reply Box at the end of the Page, click on "Reply to this topic"
  • Paste the copied content (When information "You have pasted content with formatting" appears at the end of the Reply Box, ignore it, it will disappear eventually. DO NOT click on "Remove formatting" under any circumstances)
  • Once you have specified content in new Post, start making your predictions according to the Rules
  • To post your predictions, click on "Submit Reply" button

 

Rules

 

Erase "Yes" or "No", depending on what your answer for each single bet will be. If you want to answer a bet with "Yes", all you have to do is erasing the word "No", leaving only "Yes" as your answer.
 

  • Overwrite the "X" with a number between 1 and 10. Those will be the points you distribute for a specific bet. If you win a bet, you will win the amount of points you gave for that bet, but be careful, if you lose the bet, the amount of points you gave for that bet will be taken away from your overall points in this contest.

 

  • You can't leave out a bet. All bets must be given 1 point minimum at least. 10 points per bet are the maximum.

 

Example

 

"Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) will win at least 3 Gold Medals." - YES - 7

 

- If you choose “Yes” and she wins 3 gold medals, you will win the bet and get points for that question - 7 points won.

- If she doesn’t while you said "Yes", you’ll lose the bet and points - 7 points lost.

- If you choose "No" and she wins all 3 gold medals, you will lose the bet - 7 points lost.

- If she doesn't while you said "No", you will win the bet and points - 7 points won.

 

You have a total of 250 points to distribute for all 70 bets. You don't have to use all 250 points if you don't want to, but you can't go above 250 for all 70 bets. Use your points wisely.

 

The user with the highest amount of points at the end of the competition (after the end of the Games) will be declared the winner. Should there be more than one user with the same amount of points, the first priority will be the amount of bets won, then the highest scores won in those same bets. The final answers for the contest's bets will be set as of February 26th (the day after the olympics), meaning possible future changes in them (ie. due to doping cases) won't be taken into consideration.

 

If a bet is already decided before the start of the Games (due to injury of an athlete mentioned in it, doping, etc) that bet will be eliminated from the contest and all users will be asked to re-distribute the points they invested in said bet. If an user is unable to edit his post before the start of the competition, then those points will be lost for the final count.

 

Please, take into account when placing your bets that for all of those that ask for the position of a nation in the medal table we are using, unless specifically said otherwise, the criteria of Gold Medals first (then Silvers, then Bronzes).

 

You can only enter the competition before the start of competition on the Day of the Opening Ceremony. February 9th, h. 08:35 (GMT +9) will be considered the deadline, you can’t enter the contest after that and you can't edit your votes after that.

 

Every contestant MUST HIDE their own predictions. To do that, you have only to delete the space between the bracket "[" and the text "hide" in "[ hide]" at the beginning of prediction post. Do the same with "[ /hide]" at the end of prediction post too. The hidden content will appear to other users as follows:

 

This post has been hidden. Only the user who posted it is able to see the content

 

Please post your comments, thoughts, questions concerning this competition in the specific Discussion Topic created for it.

 

If you have any other questions concerning this prediction contest, problems with format, editing etc... please, contact the contest manager via Personal Message.

Guys, last days to make suggestions.

 

So far we are ok in everything except Freestyle Skiing, for which only OlympicsFan has made suggestions (4 of them). We need more, can someone make some?

 

Also would be welcome if you want to make some more for Speed Skating (also short track).

 

@heywoodu so far you didn't suggest anything, not interested in doing so?

 need increase the users that play, and with this proposal the contest "less popular" or the new events will have less interest.......

 

 

 

Well, to be fair it's only you and other 7/8 users who really care about general standings. I don't think it would have an effect on the popularity of contests... those who care about general standings will still participate in all contests, and those who don't care will still play just the contests they feel like doing. For example, I don't think I would suddenly start to participate in biathlon contests even if it starts giving 1000 points for general standings, cuz I don't care about general standings and I don't know anything about biathlon. On the other hand, I would still participate in a rugby contest even if 15 people participate because I simply like and know more about Rugby.
