Telemachus Prediction Game 2016-17: (Prediction-) Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season
- Thread starter Ron
- Start date
Summary:
Tonight
W/L predictions were split 50-50
among the 14 predictors tonight,
so 7 of us scored high, predicting a loss.
First points ever for @Glenn, after a scoreless debut last night, and... BAMM! He's tonight's winner with a convincing 60.
Others were all quite far off on everything, from margin to teams' sciring.
List of daily winners this season:
Season
The top of the charts remains unchanged.
@alonshin in 1st place & @KingsFanSince85 in 2nd
are keeping a seemingly safe distance,
from each other and the rest of the field.
The newly 3rd place holder, @LoungeLizard, and the one he ousted thereof, @Telemachus, are tight together, but keep a safe lead on the lower-seeded.
Also worth noting:
@Glenn made a steep 11-spots climb from dead-last to 32!
@Ron switched places with @Tetsujin in 5/6, @SLAB switched with @VF21 in 8/9, and @chief bromden switched with @gil renard just outside the top-10.

Kings 121
Suns 103
And just to brag about my (auto) record keeping:
This is W-prediction number 600 (exactly)
in this prediction game, out of 776 total predictions so far this season.
(Yes, we've been optimistic... only 22.7%
of our predictions were L-predictions)
I am thinking about surprising the KF who makes the 1,000th prediction of the season with some confetti and fireworks...
(But that won't be until sometime in the beginning of March, in the pace we're going)

Hey KFs -
It's unanimous so far:
11 of us predicted a Win,
no-one predicted a Loss.
Are we just homers? Or is it THAT lopsided?
Aren't we forgetting that the Suns beat SAS at home and TOR & NYK on the road in January? (...and lost all the rest of their games OTOH)
A note:
This 100% W prediction may well still change until tip-off (some/many of us are yet to post predictions), but I thought it would be interesting to check what happened in previous cases when we had W predictions only:
Well, it happened 5 times before this season, against the T-Wolves, Magic, Knicks, Fakers & Pistons. All but the Orlando game were Home games, like tonight.
In 2 cases we ended up with a loss that no-one predicted (literally) , by 8 (Magic) and by 3 (Knicks).
In 2 other cases we ended up with a tight win (tighter than most of us expected), by 3 (MIN) and 6 (DET).
But the best of the 5 was no doubt the 24pt home W vs LAL. (Oh, I loved that one...).
BTW, this was also something that few of us saw coming, as the average margin in all predictions that night was just below 9 points to the Kings.
