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

[BrometheusBob.]

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

Here's why I was rethinking the 75. I was offering a 2.25x bonus for picks on Chavez, which meant that a perfect pick for him would have been 67.5 pts if he won. It felt odd that a draw was only worth more than Chavez by a few pts.

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

And that is the reason to make it worth some points!

I agree with you

Ok, so if that's the case, you should base it off the odds of a draw for that particular fight.

That would be insane.

Well for the bonus multipliers ive been taking the favorite and dividing by 4. Canelo was 9/1 so I gave 9/4 on Chavez. It doesn't pay as well as the casino but I figure it's enough to spruce things up.

Doing the same for a draw would probably be 150pts-ish on average.

Based on this thread so far I'm leaning towards making it 100.

That would be cool too. I think if you're gonna do one bonus based off odds you should do all bonus' based off odds. No multipliers though.


If you do 100 will multipliers be allowed?

Sure why not. You get very few multipliers, you'd have to get extremely lucky to correctly guess a draw when using a multiplier. Most likely you'd just blow your multiplier which is a pretty big waste.

Ok. So either way is feasible. I personally don't think I'd ever pick a draw so props to the guy that does.

I guess go with whatever way is the easiest for you.
