    NSB Pick 'em - How much should a draw be worth

    This topic has come up before and we settled on 75 pts, but I wanted to see if I can get broader input. For reference, 30 pts is what you get for a totally correct pick w/o any multipliers.

    Also - should be a draw be worth even more when there is a bonus multiplier in play?

    A draw should be worth like 10x. How often do you see a draw in boxing? Not that often.

      I see a draw picks as being more an "I can't decide" pick. More luck than insight. I say triple the regular "who will win" pick. It might be worth more in terms of odds, but do we really want to see someone jump to the top because of a lucky pick on a draw?
      Anyway, just my perspective.

        Draws are so rare I feel like predicting one should be like predicting like 10 wins correctly, at least.

          Bob, we all know that it is the hardest result possible. it should be worth 100 in my opinion. Now also rare pick bonus should also take effect. Just my opinion, a lot of risk, should be a lot of reward

              Eliminate draws as an option.

                A clarification - I've gotten rid of 'rare' type bonuses all together and have replaced them with bonus multipliers that are based on the betting odds.

                But yeah I've been thinking perhaps it should be worth a lot more than it is now

                  I don't think I'll ever pick a draw they just sorta happen out the blue

                    75 is good. It's more than double a perfect pick. Then whatever multiplier they use. I wouldn't get too crazy with it.
