A perfect pick without a multiplier is 40pts. -CLOSE is 8 or fewer pts difference, eg 116 - 112, 115 -113 115 - 113 or closer. CLEAR is 9 - 17 pts difference, eg below 117 - 111 on all three cards WIDE is 18 points or over ie an average of 117 -111 or above on all three cards -If you'd like to change your pick before the fight starts, post in this thread to do so. Ideally tag me so that I don't miss it. -2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 10 doubles and 6 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread. Every player also has 3 x5 special multipliers which can be only be used on an underdog (+100 or greater) fighter. ............... If I could ask one of the mods to kindly sticky this thread and remove anything else Pick Em related except the 2021 masterthread, be greatly appreciated. And thanks once again for your help gentlemen. -MEGA-, BostonGuy, TBear, jaded, LoadedWraps, bigjavi973

I hear ya and there isn't one perfect solution but we did have the discussion about how to deal with shifting multipliers when we took over from Brobob and it's come up once or twice since. The decision made was that Wed need a standard time point at which to lock the odds in otherwise wed be running the risk of constantly changing the Dog multipliers as the odds shifted. The point chosen - somewhat arbitrarily - was the Tuesday prior to fight night, typically the day on which we put the thread up. Actually it was mentioned more recently too as it used it for part of the rationale for moving from odds checker to proboxingodds cos PBO shows the odds change over time allowing us to track back to the odds on the Tuesday in the event we were late getting the thread up and running. End of the day it's an imperfect solution but the alternative would require more management both from the CREW and players and would disadvantage those who haven't got the time or inclination to watch the changing odds. As with everything else in the Pick Em it's up for discussion for future years, but for the time being that's how were working it. Probably best to look at it as MulaKO suggests, like spotting a good line and taking advantage of it. :lol1: Course, given that I'm one of those who landed a x5 on Katie could be I'm not entirely neutral, but if you like I can pull up the original discussion from way back when... K I believe iirc we did have this conversation year before last. Agreed, feel it out at the end or beginning. I enjoyed so special lettuce also at the time of leaving that post!

Fraid you can't use that x5 on the favourite man, underdogs only. Thanks, didn't knew that. I would have probably used x3 then, but oh well :) And congrats on that x5 on Katie!

See last post about Taylor being the favorite now. Makes no sense for people to be able to use a x5 on KT! I hear ya and there isn't one perfect solution but we did have the discussion about how to deal with shifting multipliers when we took over from Brobob and it's come up once or twice since. The decision made was that Wed need a standard time point at which to lock the odds in otherwise wed be running the risk of constantly changing the Dog multipliers as the odds shifted.
