Trivia 125pt Question

[benjy]

If you can eliminate 1 possible answer from the from the 125 PT question it's +EV to guess at that point.

Hmm.

If you can eliminate one answer (and then you guess) you've got an expected return of 33% * 125 = 41.67

Whereas you cash out after round two you've got 50.

[yisman]

Three in a row of three in a row.

[beerman2619]

man i can't get past the 50 point question ha dammit

[chemicalbrother]

have never tried the 125er, though i was really tempted after two layups today.

ended up just taking the 50.

[Stallion]

Took the 50 points today

[timmyboy34243]

i quit trying the 125, anymore i always seem to take the 50 and walk.......

[l7ustin]

the 125 is really hard i started trying it for the badge only and i never get it...one out of six or seven i think

Wow, that hard huh?

You'd do better guessing randomly

[Straight Cash]

I usually settle for the 50, I'm 1-0 on the 125 point questions, cant ruin my record!

[mrmarket]

hmm.

If you can eliminate one answer (and then you guess) you've got an expected return of 33% * 125 = 41.67

whereas you cash out after round two you've got 50.

= (0.3333*125)+(-50*0.6667)
=41.6625-33.335
=8.3275

[InTheDrink]

I've gotten as many 125'ers right as the others. My problem is if I geta hockey question or some other bullshlt sport then I'm just guessing.

[benjy]

= (0.3333*125)+(-50*0.6667)
=41.6625-33.335
=8.3275

I don't see why you are multiplying the -50 by 2/3. It's a certainty if you cash out.

Maybe you're taking it from the hypothetical 33% guess e[r] of the 125 round bet. 1/3*125+2/3*0

[astrodomer]

about every 4th or 5th time I will go for it

[valaub04]

it seems like if your first 2 questions are easy the 125 is easy. jmo.

[Counterfeit Cash]

I've missed 3 straight 125 pointers now...damnit.

[Marauders]

Three in a row of three in a row.

Congrats yisman, that's pretty impressive. I am having trouble getting to 50 lately. Good job.

[thaman79]

Yea. I went for the 125 a few times. And both times I'v gotten it. I just guess at the last question. 25% chance. I got lucky at something. Good luck to all.

is it free to do never heard of it before, judging by the people in this thread you have to be an sbr pro

Yeah it's free but you have to be a "pro" to get to play trivia every week (twice a week actually)

[Kaladarus]

I just take the 50 points if I can get there.

[playersonly69]

I always go for the 125 points. I have hit it 4 or 5 times, but I dont think that it was worth it. Of those 4-5 times, i only knew the answer 100% in only 2 questions or so

[stig99]

My problem is if I geta hockey question or some other bullshlt sport then I'm just guessing.

hockey rules my friend

i fell the same way with ncaa question

btw i stop at 50 i used to go for 125 for the banner took me 3 tries to get all 3 right but was never credited with the banner,,,though i did get the points

[Stinger]

I usually go for the 125, depends how I'm feeling, but I say it's worth going for it

[mr. leisure]

I always stop at 50 , no reason to get greedy

[playersonly69]

How many questions do we get each week?

[InTheDrink]

I didn't come all this way to stop at two questions!

Oh...and how come I only got one trivia last week? What's up with dat?

[Nittany Lion]

I always stop at 50 since I assumed the 125pt question would not be googable and just a complete guess if I attempted. I might try it sometime just to see since some people in this thread are saying the 50pt question is sometimes harder.

[TexansFan]

I'm still owed a badge for 04/13.

[Philavanh]

I normally stop at 50 pts...but I think I'm gonna have to go for the big 125 next time

[playersonly69]

I am going for the big 125 tomorrow

[4uk4life]

I couldn't even get the first question last time(Hockey). Gonna try and go the distance next time

[benjy]

I bailed again and cashed the 50. It's tough to go for the 125 when getting your previous question was a complete guess.

[RudyRuetigger]

missed the first question

[Mr KLC]

I chicken out after 50 points. Some pie is better than no pie at all.

if you look at all the Pro's badges , you notice only 10% have won the 125 question .

either take the 10 or 50 points , i'm sure SBR put the worst questions in the 125 pointers .
