Time for the Prick to lift this thing above the 100 dollar payouts. Like the first week. About ten guys beating the Prick for about 500 each.

What about that DH guy winning his third 4-teamer in 13 weeks? Hot stuff.

Classy...

My 3rd in the last 6 weeks.
Though I got $0.00 for it last week, and we can probably chalk them all up to beginner's luck.

[Dark Horse]

Wow. That's very good.

Payout for four-teamers can be increased from 10.00 to 12.36 if you play them 1-3. Bet a 3-teamer, then, if it wins, bet that amount on the 4th team.

Looks like the Prick better pick a winner tomorrow night.

I have the following calculated for a prick loss, taking out only AkaJ:

5pts - 200
4pts - 160
3pts - 120
2pts (only me) - 80


(players points)/(total paying points) *5000 - right?

[Boner_18]

Ok after back testing my calculation method I see I am doing something wrong... Isn't that pro-ration? Can someone help me w/ the formula used to calculate payouts?

Thanks.

Thanks.

For the purpose of calculating the payouts, each player gets a new measure of points which I'll call "PayPoints" for lack of a better name:

PayPoints = ScoredPoints - ThePricksScore
(this makes it possible to give money to people with negative scores better than )

Then, each PayPoint is worth $5000/(sum of all PayPoints > 0)

[billmunny]

Looks like the Prick is gonna screw me again..

[Dark Horse]

He asked me if I had a preference. I said I had a lean. So he took the other team.
