New Era Prediction Game 2017-18: Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season

We were almost all fooled by the Kings' recent good results and llulled into a W-prediction...

With our 2 most frequent L-predictors missing-in-action (97.1% of @chief bromden's predictions, and 85.5% of @eMBarkat10n's, were L-predictions)...

The 3rd one in line - @Capt. Factorial (76% Ls) was scarily accurate tonight! He nailed the Mavs' score and only missed Kings' score (and hence, the margin too) by a single point! A staggering 85!

The rest of us all struggled, with @Ron (12) and @CVKingsfan (11) being the least awful...

@BeerNerd916 held a winner prediction, worth 70 points, early on... only to replace it by a miserable 6pt-worth W-prediction about 1 hour to tip-off... :oops:

Season Leaderboard

@Capt. Factorial came very close to cupturing the 2nd place, but eventually there where no changes in ranking.

@New Era let the pesty "FlatLiner" take the lead once more...

Hi there!

For the 4th time this year, our combined mind accurately predicted (on average)
the exact actual margin (-3) ... :)
(Previous times this has happened: games #11, #53 and #64)

And mind you - that's not a common thing...
Actually, Our group-think was already off by as much as 49 points
in predicting the margin this season... :eek:o_O:D

Here's the table and chart of how our average predicted point margin
related to the actual point margin, in each and every game this season:

We had a nice accurate prediction stretch back in games 62 to 64 (and even until 66).

We had our worst patches in games 12-15 and 33-37.

Most of us (8 of 12) predicted the L,
and most of those who predicted the L (7) scored in the 50s or 60s.

The King of the night was @CVKingsfan, with 66,
followed by @BeerNerd916 (62)
and @Capt. Factorial (61)

@origkds (nailed Pacers score) and @VF21 were both close to the actual game score,
and scored quite high (for a losing W prediction): 18 and 16, respectively.

Monthly

One game to go in March!

The race is still far from decided!
@LoungeLizard, @CVKingsfan and @Capt. Factorial are all strong candidates for the March King throne.

What IS decided, and is a real blessing, is that March
will be the first month this prediction season which
will NOT have that wretched "FlatLiner" ranking
in the top 3 places of the monthly leader-board... :cool:
