Steep learning curve for me. I like it.
I've never looked up so many tennis scores, EVER.

i think i might change it for next time. There's 14 days to the tournament and hundreds of betting chances. Maybe like 60-75 plays and most units profit is the winner

although for me grading this, this would be more work haha

I love the 'bet it and forget it' aspect of this one. I made a few dozen bets throughout the tournament (lost of course) but not having to post here every day is the only reason I'm about to win lol

Maybe mix it up:
keep current format (4+4 atp/wta players)

And *as an option* players can make 1 play every day (underdogs only? totals only?) to try and get 'extra credit' points that could be used instead of a tie-breaker.

I like the current format so I would have the next one weighted 80% picking Quarter Winners and 20% daily bets. Make the best a freeroll to incentivize players - if you put up a positive balance, you can improve your score, but if you only pick losers, your score remains unaffected.

Just an idea

 

[samsncharge99]

that would be very hard to grade since im doing points for advancing and then units for plays.

your other point of picking players pre tournament and setting and forgetting is a good option

I like it, the contest was easy and fun. My picks were the only unpleasant aspect of it, but that was solely my own fault.

 

[wwurmeier]

Carlos looking good early on. Three breaks of serve in the first set alone.

It's not my idea haha. I just said I really like YOUR idea, your format.

I'll play any format you choose in the upcoming slams, but if we could keep things exactly the same for 2024, I would enjoy it a lot.




I'd also like to continue to be lucky haha

 

[samsncharge99]

zverev in 4 will go under and zverev in 5 would go over most likely

under 4:30 hours is the tiebreaker

 

[alittleboy]

Ok Paolini train has run its course. GL to those who are still in it!

Leave it as is, or make it a 2 round contest instead of 'bet it once and forget it'.

Make players pick QF winners in RD1...
...select 4 highest point scorers... who advance to RD2...

and RD2 can be a similar contest but could be anything you want, even post static lines and make the 4 remaining players bet every spread and every total via PM (and post everyone's pick once betting is closed for that match)...

there are 4 QF/ 2 SF / 1 Final so RD 2 would consist of 14 chances to bet a spread and a total.... you could say 'everyone has to make 12 picks for spread and 12 picks for total' and if players want they bet every single game, it's their option

RD 1 points would be irrelevant for RD 2 (everyone starts with 0W and 0L)

 

[samsncharge99]

5th set madness. Tiebreaker a factor too pending length

 

[samsncharge99]

congrats to @wwurmeier on winning the contest.

PM me your venmo or cash app and ill send it over to you

ill do same contest in 3 weeks when wimbledon starts
