Re: Shrinks $2k Free Contest Discussion Thread
How is this thing working exactly? Will the standings be based off all 5 guys from a forum's net profit/loss combined, or will each person be graded individually and say you have a final standings like this:
player x (GIQ) 1st
player y (RX) 2nd
player g (GIQ) 3rd
player a (EOG) 4th
player b (BC) 5th
and money gets paid out that way to each individual that places in the top 5?
depending on which way it is being graded strategies have to different. if it will be just combining all units won/lost by the 5 guys the teams should really only ever play something altogether. it'd be stupid if one guy from EOG had the magic +6 -110 and another had lakers -6 -110. just giving away vig. teams would pretty much just agree on one pick and everyone chooses lakers or everyone chooses magic etc.
if it's individually done you can have teams planning around that to make sure one guy wins by having one guy take magic, one take lakers, one take under, one take over etc to ensure one guy at least starts off 3-0 or something.
seems like this contest can be easily manipulated unless i have something wrong, which may very well be it.
