    True but you do still have a multiplier left. RockyB and Siablo passed you but they also used their last multipliers in the process.

    That's nothing, there are almost 400 people I didn't include in this version of the leaderboard with scores less than 50 pts The total number of unique users, as far as I can tell, that have participated is 532. But there is a chance that some of those users are people who've changed their usernames and not informed me of such, resulting in two entries for that user.

      No thanks

      If anything I'd like to see odds weighed more heavily into the points given for a fight if anything. And I think the multipiers should keep working like they work.

      For example I don't think the Stevenson vs Fonfara II fight should have had as many possible points rewarded for a Stevenson pick as other fights with more closer odds. I know BB gots a 3x the points thing with picking the dog in wider fights like that, but I don't believe that is worthwhile enough vs the true odds of the fight to pick the dog. More importantly I don't think that reduces the upside for picking a wide favorite. So if I'm picking a -200 favorite who wins & Adonis who wins as a -1000(?) favorite, or whatever his odds to win were, I'm getting the same potential points for both (considering how things work out with the type of outcome & all that too obviously).

      It makes the game more complicated to setup I'm sure, but I'm no brogrammer at all so who f#cking knows, but that would more accurately represent how quality of a predictor you are cuz saying Adonis beats Fonfara or other wide fights ain't got sh^t on picking the winner for GGG vs Canelo or other closer fights.

      And I think wrong picks should lose you points too so some cats in this game would even have negative points if they suck bad enough or take too many risks.
      Ah yeah, bold is similar to how BoxRec is running their contest. They had a 2X bonus on Ward-Kovalev II, as well as 2X bonus on AJ-Klitschko. Rather than bonuses for underdogs as I've been doing.

      Hmmmm a lot to think about

                    I think ranks are done like this:

                    1. RockyB
                    2. siablo14
                    3. Chrismart
                    4. BigZ44
                    5. Jubei
                    6. A.K
                    7. -MEGA-
                    8. Eff Pandas
                    9. Redd Foxx
                    10. 123tommy
                    10. Clegg
                    10. Headbodybodybody
                    13. g27region
                    14. -Kev-
                    15. NC Uppercut

                    Like after 10, you don't continue with 11, you continue it as if Clegg was 11 and HBBB is 12. At least that's always how I see rankings in sports and stuff. If you want to leave it like that fine, it makes me #12 which is not bad lol.

                      got myself a 3x multiplier for the next one, should get myself into the top 20 and with 2 more 2x, I'll be finishing in the top 15, especially considering only a handful of guys with more points than me have more correct picks
